I know this is breaking news to the sports world, but UK finally beat Florida after 31 consecutive losses..... in case you hadn't heard that yet.
That brings up a topic of discussion..... Does or did your team have a losing streak?
Try to use this criteria as a guide.
- Needs to be at least ten straight varsity losses. Don't use Frosh or JV.
- Games must be within a ten year time span.
EX. If the ten game total comes from games in the 1940's and a few games in the 1990's, that won't count. Even though that may be ten or more straight losses, in high school sports, anything more than ten years apart is a completely different era.
EX. 1976, 1981, 1983, 1988, 1993, 1996, 2001, 2008.... this type of time line is what I'm talking about. Even though these games would be over a thirty year span, no game went more than ten years apart. If the games are in some type of reoccurring fashion that don't exceed ten years, then you are good.
- You can use consolidated schools or feeder schools.
EX. Floyd Central consolidated from Allen Central & South Floyd. Neither of these teams have beat Prestonsburg since the 80s. I don't think South Floyd ever beat Pburg.
So lets hear it.... tell us about your team's streak.
Tell us if the streak is still ongoing.
Tell us when the streak got broken.
