Eight high school football teams will enter the 2012 campaign with 30 or more consecutive victories.
It's a mixed bag of large and small schools, but leading the group is Class A powerhouse
Clairton (Pa.), which has won 47 consecutive games and three consecutive state championships. The Bears have a great shot at the state record, which is 59 straight victories.
Mike White, longtime preps writer from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, told MaxPreps, "I'd be surprised if they didn't go undefeated into the postseason. They lost a lot of linemen, but they still have guys who are really good."
Leading some outstanding skill players is senior running back
Tyler Boyd, who has more than 20 college scholarship offers. The 6-foot-1, 170-pounder rushed for 2,400 yards and scored 48 touchdowns as a junior. Veteran Tom Nola has called Boyd the best player he ever has coached.
