This is the time of year when the weeks fly by. We are already two weeks into the 2010 season and a few tidbits on this past weekend's action.
* Coach Waldon Tucker continues his trek toward becoming the
winningest coach in Alabama high school football history when Fayette County
defeated Dora 27-7 on Thursday night. On Friday the Tigers will try to tie the
record for their coach when they entertain Tarrant. Coach Tucker is
after win number 303 which will top the mark set by Glenn Daniel in 1992.
* Randolph won their first game in over thirty years when they defeated
Brindlee Mountain on Friday 21-14. The Raiders did not field a football team
from 1980-2009 and last won against Spring Garden in September of 1979.
* T.R. Miller fell
to 0-2 for the first time since 1989 when the started the season 0-3. In 1989
after the slow start the Tigers won eight games in a row before falling to Pike
County in the third round of the playoffs so do not count the Tigers out just
yet. Also, 1989 was Coach Jamie Riggs first season at T.R. Miller.
* Patrician Academy lost to Monroe Academy 6-19 on Friday. The lose
snapped a twenty-five game winning streak and pushed the Brantley Bulldogs to
the top of our list of longest winning streak with sixteen consecutive
victories. The only other team with a streak of more than ten games is Pike
Liberal Arts with eleven straight wins.
* Central Hayneville
continues to top our list with twenty-five consecutive losses.
* Linden has won twenty-four regular season games in a row.

they fell to Stanhope Elmore 35-34. Their streak had reached an amazing
fifty-four games before last Friday night.
* How about Coty Blanchard and the Jacksonville State Gamecocks? You may
remember Coty from last season at Cherokee County. All he did was win a state
