New titleholder: Small Virginia football powerhouse has longest active U.S. winning streak

Patrick Hite, Staunton News Leader  |  Dec 11, 2021  |  6:45 EST


SALEM, VIRGINIA — A state championship victory Saturday was the 50th consecutive win for a tiny, rural Virginia high school, an unlikely program to take the national mantle of most wins in a row of any high school football team in America right now.

Riverheads beat Galax 45-14 Saturday for the VHSL Class 1 state football championship.

Riverheads is the smallest high school of the five in Augusta County, Virginia, and has fewer than 450 students. There was a time that its coach, Robert Casto, was just happy to win one game.

He was named the coach at the school, located just south of Staunton in the Shenandoah Valley, in 1996 and promptly lost his first 13 games.  .  .  .

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."

-Ayn Rand-
