I usually don't talk sports here on the blog, but I thought this was worthy of notice. The South Panola Tigers from Batesville, Mississippi had an 89-game winning streak until this past weekend. That's right - 89 games. That's about eight years' worth, depending on the number of playoff games they played any given year.
They got upended by the Meridian Wildcats, always a contender in Mississippi 5A football. Meridian is also where I lived and taught band for the first three years of my teaching career, working at one of the city's two junior high schools (Northwest). I wish I could've seen the game. I'll bet it was a great one. Congrats, Meridian!
