All records are based on completed, same-season ND Division A/B varsity matchups. Historical pre-2023 Class A teams aren't considered for statewide season leaderboards because their archived schedules are incomplete. A 2–0 or 0–2 forfeit counts in win/loss and streak records, but not scoring averages or single-game scoring records. SRS comparisons between eras are descriptive, not absolute measures of all-time quality.
