I attended Independence High School in Charlotte, NC from 1990-1993. When I was there, it was basketball that we were more known for. Todd Fuller, who eventually made it into the NBA [drafted ahead of Kobe Bryant] played hoops for Independence in his sophomore and junior seasons [he opted for Charlotte Christian for his senior year].
Over a decade later, Independence High is a football national power.
The Patriots have won 79 straight games.....the nation's longest winning streak. They've won their first two games this season by a combined score of 69-0.
The Patriots have won the last FIVE North Carolina High School championships.
Currently, the Patriots are #8 in the USA TODAY PREP 25 poll.
The past five years, the Patriots have finished the season ranked in the top 4 of that USA TODAY PREP 25 poll. Last year, they finished #2.
Last year, the Patriots had two Parade All Americans [both went to Georgia].
Former Patriot, Chris Leak, is one of the best QBs in college football.
Good luck in 2005, Pats!!!

Duxbury High School was 72-0 in soccer during my time on the field there.... right up until we played those BRUTES from Marshfield in our final HS regular season game, at which point we were 72-1....
I was injured rather badly in the previous game and missed the Marsh Vegas game..... so I don't really consider the Marshfield loss to be a blemish on MY personal record.
Much like Marciano, who grew up maybe 8 miles from the village of Monponsett, I retired undefeated.
