History Watch Protocol

New data KOT845 check
Final score Team scoring, margin, combined points, program high, streak and postseason significance.
Player stat line Single-game, season and career marks; 1,000-point milestones; athlete-profile update.
Championship / playoff result Program title count, repeat champion status, regional/state advancement and first-since context.
Research standard: confirmed thresholds require a source that explicitly identifies the mark as a Section IX record or a fully reconciled KOT845 ledger. Until the 2020–2026 game database is complete, team/program categories remain labeled candidate watch rather than being overstated as all-time records.
