prep fb winning streaks

I bet they take Daingerfield lightly ...

 

Daingerfield gets no respect.... am i right?

zillah, it's by far and away the biggest school in washington.

 

what about longest losing streaks?

 

Clay County (Ala.) ran up a 55-game streak in the 90s. I actually saw their first state title win in that stretch, played in a monsoon against Hazlewood at CCHS' cow pasture of a stadium (with a cliff just past one end zone and a mound at the back of the other that looks like center field at Minute Maid Park.) With virtually every other championship game played in similar crap conditions that same night, the AHSAA wised up and moved the finals to Legion Field the following year.

 

Maryville (Tenn.) High is at 60 and counting. The same article where I found that also outlines Tennessee's classic kings of futility.

They got it in 1983.

Probably the best high school season ever. National-record 14 consecutive shutouts.

 

Houston Davis had 80. That's a state record I don't see being broken.

 

Probably not, but I could see Marfa challenging that.

 

According to Collier-Sharp, these are the current longest losing streaks in Texas:

TEAM DISTRICT LOSSES
Austin Johnston 17-AAAA 41
Houston Sam Houston 20-AAAAA 32
Fort Worth Paschal 4-AAAAA 26
Richardson 9-AAAAA 26
Cross Plains 12-A 26
Willis 18-AAAA 25
San Antonio Memorial 27-AAAA 21
Ingram Moore 25-AAA 21
San Diego 31-AAA 21
Lockney 3-AA 20
Amarillo Highland Park 2-AA 20
Saint Jo 11-A 20

I cannot independently verify these, but I do know the same website has the longest active Texas winning streaks correct (Alto 28, Liberty Hill 24).

 

The national loss streak record is 82 by Glascock County of Gibson, Georgia from 1990-99.

Sturgis, South Dakota made a recent run at it, going nearly a decade without a win but eventually stopping their streak at 79 in 2006.

 

Marfa has 7 years to go, but they don't play Fort Hancock, so I could see that.

And I had figured Austin Johnston would make a good case, as those teams were bad...really bad, and undisciplined. But that active streak isn't so much active anymore, since the school was shut down after last year. A new school is reopened there (was going to be named Eastside Memorial), but Austin Johnston is just dead.
