Looking at the records of the teams still playing. Has there been more wins amongst the 12 state finalist than this year?

Centreville 12-2 Ocean Lakes 14-0
Tuscarora 14-0 LC Bird 12-2
Lake Taylor 14-0 Salem 14-0
Magna Vista 13-1 Lafayette 14-0
Glenvar 13-1 Wilson Memorial 13-1
Essex 12-2 Altavista 14-0

159 wins.

2013 came up two wins short mainly due to James Monroe's 10-4 record coming in.

2012 was at a disadvantage as not everyone played 5 rounds of the playoffs, but they tied this year, mainly due to the AAA schools.

L.C. Bird 13-0, Ocean Lakes14-0
Lake Taylor 14-0, Stone Bridge 14-0
Briar Woods 14-0, Heritage 12-1
Brookville 13-0, James Monroe 12-1
Goochland 13-1, Essex 14-0,
George Wythe 13-1, Honaker 13-1

So even though 4 of the schools that year played fewer games, they still tied this year. 2012 had the fewest losses of any season, I believe as 7 of the teams were undefeated and 5 came in with only 1 loss. That's a total of 5 losses. 2014 has 9 losses.

I don't have access to all the numbers, but I would bet 2012 was by far, from a winning pct. stand point the strongest field of teams ever.
