Going into the state championship game, the year that Hillsboro ended the streak, Maryville had the longest win streak in the country. The team ahead of them (pardon me for not remembering who it was) lost either the night before, or earlier that day. So, it may have been by default.....but, even tho it was for a short time, Maryville held that honor.
Oh.....congrats on your two in a row.........I'd have placed bets on either Maryville, or Alcoa against the 5A finalists those years.
