oldest team?

I think its up to the team. If a HS gets a new sponsor, that company may not want to keep the old team number, and be associated with the old sponsor

or the old sponsor may not want the team to keep the old number.

A team is the HS, the sponsor, and the the mentors who are not attached to either of those two. Depending on the balance of the team, getting a new sponsor may mean you have all new (rookie) mentors, or it may only mean there is a different company name on the checks that pay your bills.

So, in one sense, if a HS had a team in '92 but has changed sponsors, then its still the same team, but not really.

I hope this clears things up [°'°]
