How many games?! Nation's longest HS football losing streak finally ends

The Eagles are in the win column! Columbia put an end to a long-running (and infamous) slice of high school football history on Friday night.

The Columbia (AL) Eagles finally put an end to their nation's longest high school football losing streak, securing a 41-14 victory over the Greensboro Raiders on Saturday night. The Eagles had been without a win since October 2015, marking a span of 101 games. Their 101-game losing streak came to an end with a dominant performance in which running back Christian Richey rushed for 163 yards and scored three touchdowns in the first half alone.

This victory restores hope for the team as they prepare to host East Limestone on August 28, aiming to extend their winning streak to two games.
