Michigan marked its 1,000th program victory on Saturday. ... Their resident historian notes that at least one of those is against a high school team during the Benjamin Harrison administration. Then he shared other "Internet Schools of the Blind" that big-time programs count in their victory total.
I suppose one would have Newark Academy, Merchant Marine and others on any similar Hens-centric list. Hens are in the 730 wins neighborhood if you're counting (different sources have different numbers).

Re: Total Victories
It’s not just the total number of victories that count but also the quality of the opponents.

Re: Total Victories
I do not have immediate information on Wilmington YMCA's 1891 squad but imagine the Hens' 58-0 domination was enjoyed by most.
Also defeated Delaware Field Club of Wilmington, Washington College, Warren Club of Wilmington and Shortlidge Academy that year.
