Chino Hills (Calif.) may own the most celebrated win streak in high school basketball at 57 games, but Federal Way (Wash.) is home to the longest at 62.

The Eagles (20-0) extended their run of success Friday night with a 95-59 win over district rival Todd Beamer.

Under longtime head coach Jerome Collins, Federal Way has won the last two Class 4A titles in Washington and also brought home the 2009 state crown.



This version of the Eagles has been among the most dominant – if not best – under Collins, averaging nearly 90 points per game and winning by an average margin of over 35.

Federal Way is ranked No. 20 nationally by MaxPreps in this week's High School Top 25. Fellow Evergreen State unbeaten Nathan Hale (Seattle) is No. 1 but the two teams are in separate classifications and won't meet in the postseason.

Federal Way's last loss came Jan. 19, 2015 to Bellevue.
