Independence High School Wins 7th Straight Title....108th Straight Game

                

Independence High School.....in Charlotte, NC.....where I, the Sportz Assassin attended high school from 1990-1993.....won their 7th straight North Carolina state 4AA football championship by beating Durham Riverside, 49-19. 

The win was also the 108th consecutive win by the Patriots.....the longest active streak in the nation.

In fact, the record is the longest winning streak by a public high school.  A Catholic prep school, De La Salle in Concord, CA [who is currently #1 in USA Today's high school football rankings] owns the longest streak ever....151 wins that spanned from 1992-2003. 

Another Independence alum, Chris Leak, will be quarterbacking the Florida Gators in the BCS Championship game on January 8, 2007.
