Two years before the opening of West Carroll, Savanna and Mount Carroll began a cooperative sharing program for several sports, including football. Prior to the cooperative, Savanna amassed a 63-game losing streak in football, dating to October 1995; the streak was once the subject of a Sports Illustrated story by columnist Rick Reilly.
The West Carroll cooperative football won its first game in 2003 and earned playoff berths in 2005, 2006 and 2007.

During the 2017-2018 season, the football team lost in the 2nd round of the playoffs to GCMS, who became the 2A state champions. The team earned a final ranking of 7th in state for 2A IHSA by MaxPreps.
