Stillwater is Minnesota's oldest school district. This provided an opportunity for the school to start playing football as early as almost any team in the state. Stillwater students formed the school's first team in 1895 though research continues to learn the early years, games, and foundation of the program. These pages allow the reader to connect to the program's history, its tradition, teams, players, coaches, and more. These pages on the Red and Black, the Croix, and the Ponies, relates much of why we celebrate the program as one of Minnesota's finest high school football traditions.
