    I know I aint Gola, but to answer your question...
    Southlake-Carroll and Abilene for the largest classification of schools in Texas (currently Class 5A) at 49.
    Celina's 68 is the overall state record though.

    Southlake-Carroll also has the record for consecutive regular season wins with 72.

    I was at the game in 2002 when Daingerfield broke Celina's streak. Celina scored 13 points in the fourth quarter to pull within one with 10 seconds left ... and the tying extra point attempt was wide left.

    Celina plays Daingerfield this year and they also play Whitehouse, whose coach was at Daingerfield that year.

    There were two reasons why it happened.

    1) The Rampants are no longer the Rampants. Pitt County opened up South Central and that took a great deal of the talent away from Rose.
    2) Rocky Mount was just really f'in good last year. If one kid doesn't shit the bed in the fourth quarter in the eastern regional final against Western Alamance, the Gryphons win the state championship and B.W. Holt rides off into the sunset, finally with his ring.

    They're the best in that area, bar none.
     
  9. Lakeland holds the Florida streak at 53 games, which was broken last year by Osceola.

    The great Sam Waller of Odessa and Abilene fame hooked me up with this info on Texas:

    The longest winning streaks in 11-man are 49 games by Abilene High (1954-57) and Southlake Carroll (ended last season by Miami Northwest). After losing to Breckenridge in the third game of 1954, Abilene High won three straight state titles before being eliminated by Highland Park in the 1957 semifinals on a tiebreaker. (Breckenridge never beat Abilene High again, losing eight in a row before the series was dropped. The Buckaroos were shut out four times in that stretch. Payback's a bitch.)

    By winning in last year's regional round, Abilene High became the first Texas team to beat Carroll since Katy did so in the 2003 state finals, which adds up to 58 consecutive against in-state opponents.

    Pflugerville won 55 in a row (1958-62), but that included a couple of seasons in eight-man. At the time, six-man, eight-man and Class B playoffs only went two rounds (bi-district and regional). Pflugerville, by the way, beat Abilene High in the state semifinals last year, so it's grown a bit.

    Fort Hancock won 70 in a row (ended 1992 with a loss to Panther Creek in the state finals), all in six-man. Fort Hancock won four straight state championships and five in six years (1986, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991).

    Oklahoma's record is 90, set by Morrison from 1989-1995. Morrison played 8-man football, though, so it's not on the national lists. Not sure what the 11-man record is, though.
