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. . . .

A bunch of big ole farm boys. They have a minimum of 6 inches in height and 50 lbs on the guys from my school.
