High school basketball: Vashon of Missouri, Ramapo of New Jersey lead list of programs with longest active state championship streaks

Vashon (17-3) is Missouri's top-ranked team in Class 4 and the Wolverines might have had seven in a row if not for the COVID-19 pandemic shortening the 2020 state tournament. Extending the streak might be more of an uphill battle for Ramapo (16-10), which is ranked No. 10 in New Jersey's Division Group III field.

Montpelier (Vt.) and John Marshall (Richmond, Va.) each have streaks of five straight state crowns.

In addition to John Marshall, three other programs in Virginia are looking to extend championship streaks. Fairfax Christian (Dulles) is looking for its fourth title in a row while South Lakes (Reston) and Miller School of Albemarle (Charlottesville) are both competing for a third.
