Merced (CA) ends top-ranked Central's (AL) historic 62-game winning streak
After nearly four years of perfection, Central-Phenix City's remarkable winning streak has come to end.
Merced (CA) ended Central-Phenix City's (AL) historic 62-game winning streak on Friday, September 11, as the Red Devils suffered their first loss in nearly four years. The game came during the inaugural MaxPreps Flag Football Showdown in San Diego, where Central joined other top-ranked teams from around the nation. Central, led by senior quarterback Antonia Lejarde, had dominated Alabama's AHSAA Class 6A-7A state titles since their first season in 2022.
The Bears' victory marked the end of Central's streak, which included a recent 39-7 win over Del Norte (CA). Merced and Glacier (Mont.) were the only two teams from outside California to participate in the tournament.
