I was wondering who has had some the longest winning and losing streaks of all time.....

I know that on the winning side Maryville HS has 51 wins in a row.

Also on the losing side Red Boling Springs had a bad losing streak for a while (can not remember exactly how many)

What are some other freakishly long streaks you know of...

As far as losing, doesn't Kirkman (school closed down) form Chattanooga hold the longest losing streak in TN history. Back in the late 80's they even made SI for having the second longest losing streak in America... then defeated Taft to break that streak. I believe they hold the losing record for TN, but could be wrong. However, give Cumberland County High School time, they are gaining. They have not won a game since year before last and have not even played a game close this year.

I actually like Crossville a great deal. They just can't play high school football right now and the folks up there either won't admit it or they don't know enough to admit it one. I remember the days of Curt Watson, Dana Winningham, and others and when C.W. Pemberton was winning every year. I would like to see that again, as I like to see all schools in the area being competitive and the kids playing hard and getting something out of it. Not just going through the motions and learning nothing about the game or about life. Just the facts...Losing teaches nothing but to lose! Sorry for this post on a thread where it does not belong, but that remark needed to be answered.

Well, probably no one on here will pick this streak up because of who it was/is. But, from the '62 season thru into the '64 season lil' ol' Gleason had a 22 game undefeated streak. That's not any kind of record or anything but, an amazing fact for Gleason.

 

I'm not from Gleason but, have a very good reason for remembering this. Notice it was an "undefeated" streak not a winning streak (still amazing for Gleason!!!!) I live in and at that time played for McKenzie 6 miles down the road from Gleason and played in all three of the games that McKenzie played against Gleason those three seasons.

 

The McKenzie team in '62 was the last team to beat Gleason at the start of the streak (27-13), McKenzie was the only team that Gleason didn't beat during the "undefeated streak" in '63 (0-0 tie) and McKenzie was the team that defeated Gleason to end the streak (20-13) in '64. At the end of the '63 season when we tied 0-0 McKenzie ended the season ranked 14th in the state (that was all schools--we didn't have classes then) and Gleason was close behind us in the top 20 in the state!!!!!!!

 

Even though it was "only" 22 games, there are a lot of teams around that never have come close to that. Since there are very few folks on here from Gleason especially that will remember that far back, I just wanted to do our neighbors in Gleason a little favor because it's worth mentioning that the Bulldogs did accomplish that back then.

    • Never said I thought it was a smart decision. I'm scratching my head at it too.
    • If he wanted to play QB he should have either went to Heritage or William Blount and had a real good chance there. In stead he'll be exactly what he was going to be at Maryville. They already know who their QB is going to be in 2025 and it ain't going to be him.
    • Easier said than done. The man who ran for 250+ yards and 3TDs is gonna be back….and a lot bigger.
    • plus it removes the pressure around winning.
    • You are correct.   The teacher's pay scale is virtually the same in Knox County, now, as it is at Oak Ridge.   The coaching supplements are still higher at Oak Ridge, from what I was told, but not a huge difference.   Plus, Rusty is going from a position coach to an OC position, which is what he was at South Doyle and where his comfort zone is.  And from a special education teaching slot to a PE teaching slot.  There is a lot of positivity in that move without even considering the coaching aspect.   Anybody who sees something negative here is just looking for negativity to begin with.  But some live in that world.   Really good hire for Brent.  He now has two experienced and quality coordinators and can concentrate on being a head football coach.
