What are the most impressive streaks in state HS sports?
With Shattuck about to break Morrison’s record of 90 consecutive wins, I’m wondering what are the other streaks in the state that are most impressive?
Here’s a few I’ve come up with. Let me know, either through a comment here or an e-mail (raber@opubco.com), if you have any others.
I’m sure there are plenty more I’ve missed but here are a few:
- Morrison and Shattuck’s 90-game winning streaks in football
- Tulsa Union’s and Jenks’ stranglehold on the 6A football title
-Asher and Owasso baseball dominance
-McGuinness girls cross country
-Bethel girls basketball state tournament streak
-Bartlesville boys swimming
-El Reno wrestling
-McGuinness girls tennis
-Cascia Hall boys tennis

I’m going to visit with Oklahoma Secondary Schools Activities Association executive director Ed Sheakley early this week. Do you have a question for him? Leave it as a comment here or e-mail me at raber@opubco.com. I’ll pick a few to ask him and we’ll have his answers this week in The Oklahoman.

Kingfisher and Fairview will play Friday night for the first time since 1969, but in the late 50s and 60s, the two teams played regularly.
Our records go back to 1950, so if they played before then, we wouldn’t have that information. But within our records, Fairview leads the overall series, 9-6.
1969: Kingfisher, 8-0
1968: Fairview, 8-6
1967: Fairview, 15-6
1966: Fairview 16-6
1965: Fairview, 30-6
1964: Kingfisher, 14-6
1963: Kingfisher, 32-0
1962: Fairview, 8-6
1961: Fairview, 30-6
1960: Fairview, 43-0
1959: Fairview, 38-6
