RE:WV State Meet Comparison

This is really neat, by the way. Which year did you take the enrollment from? Did you just take it from this past school year? I would like to see how enrollment has changed particular school's athletic performance. You could really see how much of a correlation there is between enrollment and athletic "ability." It is really cool to see the general trends: the lower the division the more the points are "feeded" to more "dominant" schools and thus you have more schools that don't score in the state meet; also with the lower divisions, you have an easier time "scoring" more points per enrollment because your denominator is much lower as compared to more populated schools, and school's points can be compared yearly. Another statistic that might be fun to analyze is the percentage of points earned by each team, each year, and over a four year span. I mean you have a 558 point total for the state meet; so, 2232 total points for four years. So let's take Winfield Girls for example [since I happen to be partial to them  ] for the year 2008 they scored 123 points out of 558, multiply that by a 100, giving a percentage of 22.04% of the total points. Let's take their 4 year total of 456.5, divide that by 2232, and multiply by 100% to yield 20.45%. It's a fun little estimate if you want to check the stats of your school or analyze how you fair against the other schools in your class.
