An Alabama high school football team has finally snapped what was believed to be the nation's longest losing streak after going more than a decade without a win. Columbia High School defeated Greensboro High 41-14 Saturday night, ending a 101-game skid that stretched back to 2015.
The Eagles had a rough start, falling behind 14-0 after their first offensive play was returned for a touchdown. They rallied to take the lead by halftime, then scored three more touchdowns in the second half while keeping their opponent from scoring again.
Former NFL player Sammie Coates took over as Columbia’s head coach last year and has focused on rebuilding the program rather than its losing streak. After playing last season with just 28 players, the Eagles now have a 60-player roster. Coates credits the team’s hard work throughout the spring and summer for the long-awaited win.
