ITEM 5 · FROM THE FAMOUS SEASONS BANKED WHOLE IN SPORTS.HTML — THIS ARTICLE SORTS, IT DOES NOT RETELL
The leg's discipline sorts a program's life into eras defined by format and fortune together, and Glenn's sort cleanly into four. The consolidation era (1968–mid-1980s): the single-class game played by a new school's assembled rosters — the era of the founding article above, its seasons standing in the record at roster-gap strength (GAP-W-SPO-1/2). The late single-class and early class years (to 2004): the hinge falls inside this bucket — the 1997–98 class change — and the bucket closes with the program's defining football season, the banked whole: 2004's 10–4 Falcons, Class 2A sectional and regional champions, the run the next two decades are measured against. The long middle (2005–2023): competitive seasons inside turning conferences, the basketball drought the Tribune measured in 2023 — ended, per the re-verification above, inside the present cycle — and football's rebuilds across a rapid coaching succession (seven head coaches between 2004 and 2026, the managers article below). The present rise (2024–2026): the sectional restored in boys' basketball on the Association's tables; softball's ascent banked whole in Sports — the program's first sectional in 2025, its first regional and semi-state run in 2026; football's 2023 winning season (7–5) and the Sausaman appointment of April 2026. The buckets print as a sorting of banked fact; no season is retold here, because retelling is duplication, and the seasons live in Sports.
