Central flag football hasn’t lost a game since 2022. Here’s how the streak reached 57

Four years have passed since Central-Phenix City High School (Ala.) last lost a flag football game, marking the beginning of a remarkable 57-game winning streak. Ranked No. 1 in USA TODAY Sports preseason Super 25 rankings, the Red Devils have secured three state titles along the way. Head coach Mitchell Holt attributes the team's success to their meticulous preparation, including studying film and dedicating time to workouts and practices over the summer.

The Red Devils' connection both on and off the field has played a crucial role in their success, with all players also participating in the school's softball program.
