FROM THE SIDELINES: High School Football Team’s Losing Streak Reaches 101
The final week of the regular season features Columbia (0-9) visiting Hazel Green (3-6). Columbia is currently enduring a 100-game losing streak, the longest on record. The Eagles have not won a football game since October of a decade ago.
Former Auburn and NFL receiver Sammie Coates is completing his first year as the Eagles’ head coach, the sixth since their last victory. ESPN covered Columbia’s record streak earlier this year in Huntsville.
“I believe I covered that game for a statewide website.”
If Columbia earns their first win in ten years, it would mark a historic milestone. This column will be updated with the final game score. However, on Halloween Friday, Columbia will have to wait until next season to end their decade-long losing streak.
Author’s summary: Columbia High’s football team faces a historic 101-game losing streak, with hopes for their first win in a decade still postponed.
