Concorde DeLaSalleThe Spartans had never had a single winning season until 1979. Close but no cigar.

That is Very Impressive PPHSfan... Can you give us a comparable college or pro team with a similar streak?

Just Curious...

I have been digging for more stats slpy, and so far I have only done Texas Highschool Teams.

From what I can find so far, Pilot Point has the longest ACTIVE streak, but there are five other teams that had as many or more.

36
PLANO, 1960-95

32
BROWNWOOD, 1958-89

32
ODESSA PERMIAN, 1965-96

28
UNIVERSAL RANDOLPH, 1963-90

27
WICHITA FALLS, 1937-63

But I will keep looking into the rest of the country, and into NCAA and such.

I am pretty sure Nebraska had a buttload of consecutive winning seasons. But I have not found out how many yet.

However, in 1998 Tiger only "won" 8 tournaments, and he played in 26. So although he won 52% of the available prize money, I still count that as a losing season. :D

On my Houston radio stations, no matter who is leading a particular event, they must tell me where Tiger is. Is this true of everywhere else? Maybe its just the National headlines I'm hearing but I think it is the local guys too. Is the country that interested in how Tiger is doing? Phil Mickelson is my favorite golfer but they don't go out their way to tell me where he i in the field.

I just can't see how you have time to do all this research and work too. Just curious.

LOL,

Yes I have a job, I just never sleep. :D

Just Curious...The longest consecutive winning seasons by a coach in the NFL is Tom Landry with the Dallas Cowboys with 20.

I guess the longest winning seasons streak by a Highschool coach is 32 years by G.A. Moore, and that is just because he took off a year in 1971. Coach Moore has never had a losing season since his first year as a head coach in 1962

His coaching record is 404-80-9

.834 winning percentage

8 State Championships

Here is a brief biography.(From the Pilot Point Bearcat website)

Coach Moore graduated from Pilot Point High School in 1957, where he earned 16 letters in football, basketball, track and baseball. He was named All State in football and basketball and received a football scholarship to NTSU. He graduated from NTSU in 1962 with a Bachelor of Science degree and started his coaching career.

1962- Graduated from NTSU and took the head coaching job at Bryson High School. Bryson had a 21 game losing streak. In the first game Bryson played a team that had beaten them 76-0 the previous year. Bryson won that game and went on to be 5-5 that year.

1963- Went home to Pilot Point where the Bearcats had not had a winning season in 6 years. In the first game Pilot Point defeated a team who had beaten them in the previous year 58-28. During the next eight years Pilot Point became one of the better 2A teams in the country.

1967- Received Masters of Education degree from NTSU.

1971- Out of coaching.

1972- Took over as head coach at Celina High School. In the next five years he went 52-5-2 winning his first State Championship in 1974.

1977- Went back to Pilot Point and took over a team that was 1-9 the previous year. During the next nine years the Bearcats were 106-9-3 including back to back State Championships in 1980 and 1981.

1986- Went to Sherman High School and took over a 0-10 class 5A program. In the first game Sherman defeated Gainesville (ranked 4th in the state in 4A) 10-0. Sherman went 6-4 on the season and Coach Moore was named Dallas Area Coach of the Year.

1988- Went back to Celina who had not won a district championship in 10 years. In the first year Celina not only went on to win district, but went to the state semi-finals. During the next 14 years he won 163 and lost 22. Celina won 5 State Championships including a state record 4 in a row (tied with Sealy). When he left Celina he had a 57 game winning streak.

2002- Returned home to Pilot Point as Athletic Director and Head Football Coach
