Over the past couple of seasons, the nation has marveled at high school football win streaks. Of course it all starts with DeLaSalle's (Concord, CA) amazing 151-game win streak that was snapped a couple of years ago. Independence (Charlotte, NC) currently has the longest active win streak at 95 straight.
On Friday, players at Sturgis High School in Sturgis, South Dakota avoided breaking a national record for futility. Sturgis beat Rapid City Stevens 22-20 snapping the Scoopers 79 game losing streak, which dated back to October 17, 1997.
Sturgis scored a touchdown on its first play, a 73-yard halfback pass from Clint Duprel to Ryan Russell.
Stevens took an 8-7 lead in the first quarter, but failed to convert two-point conversions on its next two touchdowns – providing the final difference on the scoreboard.
The Scoopers avoided the national loss streak record of 82 by Glascock County of Gibson, Georgia from 1990-99.
