The High School Football Huddle
A tiny school in northwest Oklahoma is closing-in on history. The Shattuck Indians are going after their 89th straight win today against Balko.
A victory would put Shattuck one win away from tying the national 8-man record for consecutive wins that is currently held by Morrison, also from the Sooner State.
Actually, the Indians had expected to tie the record with a victory today, but the Oklahoma Secondary Schools Activities Association ruled earlier this week that a 2003 scheduled game against Yarborough that was cancelled and ruled a forfeit, was no longer a win. That left the Indians win streak 88 instead of 89 going into today's contest.
If Shattuck wins today, it will be able to tie the record when it plays Sharon-Mutual on October 23rd. The record breaker would then come on October 30th against Goodwell.
Shattuck's current streak began in the 2003 season. Morrison's record-setting win streak was set from 1989 to 1995.
Check back later tonight to see if Shattuck is able to pull within one of the record.
