High school football: Westlake's 629-game run headlines list of longest scoring streaks in every state

Scoring is climbing in high school football but Westlake (Austin) has been ahead of the trend for nearly 48 years. The Texas powerhouse has scored in 629 consecutive games since a 10–0 loss to Lockhart on Nov. 3, 1978 — before current coach Tony Salazar was born.

As detailed in our recent story on scoring trends, research by David McKnight covering more than five million games found that average winning scores increased from about 25 points in the 1980s to nearly 39 in the 2020s. Spread formations, expanded passing attacks and faster offensive tempos accompanied that rise.

Westlake’s streak began in an era when running offenses and clock-consuming drives dominated the game. It has survived changing schemes, generations of players and multiple coaching transitions. The Chaparrals have compiled a 506–118–5 record during the stretch, averaging 36 points per game. Four times they managed just three points, enough to keep the streak alive. At the other extreme, Westlake overwhelmed LBJ Austin 84–0 on Oct. 21, 1994. Four other programs in this state-by-state compilation have surpassed 300 consecutive games without a shutout. Trinity (Louisville, Ky.) leads that group at 394 followed by Centennial (Corona, Calif.) with 368, Rockhurst (Kansas City, Mo.) with 362 and Wilson (West Lawn, Pa.) with 309.

Their longevity is impressive. Rockhurst’s last shutout came in 1995, Trinity and Centennial last went scoreless in 1998, and Wilson’s streak dates to 2001. Centennial has averaged 45.7 points during its run while Trinity has won 328 games during its streak. Yet Westlake stands 235 games ahead of its nearest challenger on the list.

Based on a search of the MaxPreps database and other relevant sources, we have determined the leading team in each state with the longest non-shutout streak. Teams are listed with the number of games they have scored at least two points (forfeits not included), the last time they were shut out, their record during the streak, the closest they've come to having the streak end, their highest score during the streak, the average total points and the longest win streak during the run.
