When De La Salle (Concord, Calif.) surpassed Hudson (Mich.) with its 73rd successive win in 1997, the Spartans were still a long way from in fact holding the national document for lengthiest unbeaten touch.

While the National Federation of High Schools document publication acknowledged Hudson as the record holder for consecutive wins, 2 institutions really held longer unbeaten streaks than the Michigan school. Sims (Union Region, S.C.) established a 96-game unbeaten touch between 1945 and 1954 while Bedford Region Training Camp (Shelbyville, Tenn.) went 82 video games without a loss in between 1943 and also 1950.

One reason the streaks held by Sims as well as Bedford Area Training Camp are not included in the national document book is they happened at all-black schools during the set apart South. Success of all-black institutions were poorly narrated in most newspapers, if they were reported in any way.

However, Sims trainer James Moorer was sworn in right into the South Carolina Athletic Hall of Popularity in 1975 and also is credited with a 96-game unbeaten streak, which included 92 victories and four ties. For his job, Moorer had a 130-10-9 document. It's unknown the amount of successive success Sims actually had.

Likewise, Bedford Area Training camp's successive win total is unclear. When it lost on Nov. 5, 1950, the tale claimed the Tigers had won 78 video game straight. However in his book "Area of Dreamers," Genetics Pearce has Bedford Area's record for that stretch as 78-0-4.

Additionally, throughout the touch, Bedford Region had 32 straight nothings. For years, the Tigers were credited in the NFHS record book with 52 successive nothings, nevertheless a write-up in the Kingsport Times in 1945 noted that Bedford Area had actually permitted two goals against Holloway, finishing a streak of 32 nothings.

De La Salle went on to pass both Bedford Area Training School and also Sims on the unbeaten listing as well as more than increased Hudson's mark by finishing with 151 consecutive wins before ultimately shedding to Bellevue (Wash.) in the 2004 season opener. Self-reliance (Charlotte, N.C.) likewise passed both Sims as well as Bedford Region with 109 successive wins between 2000 and 2007.

Our checklist of the Leading 50 win touches is for success only, no ties. We make only two exemptions-- Sims and Bedford County Training School-- because their exact consecutive win overall is unidentified.

When it comes to recognized win streaks, the very first streak near 40 successive success was by Oak Park (Ill.), which won 38 straight from 1910-14. Tuscaloosa (Ala.) extended the touch to 49 video games in 1931. Verbena (Ala.) jumped the document approximately 50 video games in a row before Jefferson City (Mo.) placed the record at 71 straight in 1966. Hudson made it 72 in a row in 1975.

One group to watch in 2020 is Caledonia (Minn.), which is No. 15 all-time with 67 straight wins and also checking.

The listed here is a Leading 50 listing adhered to by a sequential listing of all groups with a minimum of 40 or more victories.
