Imagine that ! 151 straight wins 12 years! I can only imagine what that’s like being a senior being on an undefeated team knowing they’ve been undefeated since being in the 1st grade lol . Very impressive🤯
Yeah, I don't think any high school football program in the nation, will beat that record lol. Today, if a school wins 50 or 60 games in a row, it's really impressive lol, maybe even 70, but not 151 in a row. I just checked what the current longest high school football winning streak in the nation is, and it's 51 games by some school in Kansas. That means that school from Kansas would have to win another 100 straight games to tie De La Salle lol.
Independence High in Charlotte, NC won 109 games in a row. Their former coach is now coach at Dutch Fork High in South Carolina. Dutch Fork has won 5 state titles in a row and carrying a long unbeaten streak ( they did have one tie in a weather shortened game). The coach Tommy Knotts is the best high school coach in the country hands down. His Independence teams coyld have given De LA Salle a good challenge.
Tom Knotts is a great coach, no doubt, and I have followed him for a little while, but it's so hard to compare him to California coaches and the different styles of football. Another knock to that Independence team is, their 109 game streak ended as soon as they played a team outside of the state of North Carolina, Cincinnati Elder of Ohio ended their streak, and Elder isn't even that great of a team to be honest. De La Salle traveled to Ohio and played the same Elder team that beat Independence just 1 year earlier, and De La Salle crushed Elder like 56-7 lol. Also, you have to look at the schools that Coach Ladouceur beat, he was a perfect 4-0 vs Mater Dei, 2-0 vs Long Beach Poly, and had an overall winning record vs all of Southern California schools, even though De La Salle is a Northern California school. What's more impressive is, Coach Lad retired at just 58 years old, with a career record of 399-25, that's over 93% winning %, and he finished with exactly 20 undefeated seasons, that is insane lol.
@@justinexplainseverything1554 yeah it was disappointing to see the streak end in Ohio no doubt. That was the worst Indy team that Knotts had, they lost 2 more games that season following the Ohio loss. They dropped off the map all together after Knotts left for South Carolina. But there is still a ton of talent in Charlotte.
@@justinexplainseverything1554 Indy did beat a South Carolina team and a Tennessee team in the streak but your point stands. It was a massive blow they lost in Ohio.
@@PowidzMalwa And again, Tom Knotts is a great coach, we will never know how he would do against Coach Ladouceur, because they never coached against each other. I do have a lot of respect for Coach Knotts, he really is a special coach and just great at what he does. If I'm not mistaken, didn't Knotts leave Indy for just 1 or 2 years, and was coaching at Duke??? But I know he came back to Indy and continued the winning streak. I remember following Indy during their 109 game streak, and I do remember they were very athletic and fun to watch, all because of Coach Knotts. Chris Leak was a STUD at Indy, and of course he went on to have a nice college career. That would have been fun to see Indy play De La Salle during the early 2000's, but it never happened. I would probably bet on De La Salle, but it still would have been entertaining to watch Knotts vs Ladouceur. De La Salle had so much talent in the early 2000's, Maurice Jones-Drew, D.J. Williams, Matt Gutierrez, and so many other great players.
@@justinexplainseverything1554 Yes Knotts went to coach QBs at Duke but it was for only one season 2004. When he took that job he said he had been approached several times for college jobs previously but he took the Duke job because it was his alma mater. He played DB at Duke. But it didnt work out at Duke. When he returned to Indy he stated that he felt like he had let other people talk him into taking the job in the college ranks. He said he began to doubt himself and if being a High School coach was good enough. He didnt find what he was looking for in college coaching. Tomorrow he goes for his 6th consecutive title in South Carolina and 15th title overall combined in NC and SC. He has coached 3 different teams into title games in NC , winning titles at Indy and West Charlotte, while losing in the title game with Harding. Dutch Fork in SC never did anything before he arrived there in the 2010 season. He has won 5 straight there and 6 overall, goes for #7 Tomorrow. And he had also taken Dutch Fork to the finals 2 other times and lost. All told so far 14 titles, and probably about 21 or 22 title game appearances. Oddly enough Indy 2004 was probably the best team but that was the year Knotts was at Duke. I woyld probably take Delasalle head to head over Indy every year except 2004. Indy would have won that. Possibly in 2001 Indy wins but not likely. Good chatting with you. Oh PS Knotts took Dutch Fork on the road to Allen, Texas who was #1 in the nation that year with Kyler Murray as QB. Allen beat them in a shootout like 57 to 52 or something like that. I forget exactly what year that was but Kyler Murray was definitely QB for Allen then. A Knotts offense is just about impossible to stop.
I wish we (Riverdale HS in Murphreesboro Tn.) could have played them in 04 or 05. We won state both years with 8 shutouts in '04, a TSSAA record that got us nationally ranked by ESPN! We would repeat in '05 and become the first HS in TN to travel out of state. Seems no other 5A team in TN wanted to schedule a loss so we ended up with only a 9 game schedule but, Worthington- Kilbourne, a 5A team in Ohio who were in the same situation as us, invited us to come play them.... we did. Whooped em 26-0! Oh, and I should mention we forced 6 more goose eggs that year bringing us to 15 games in a 2 year span. We got to number 3 in the country behind De La Selle and a school in Texas I can't ever name of, but I believe there wasn't a high school team in the country that would beat us once if we played em 10 times in a row.
Anthony Dodson 04/05 is around when Katy, Allen, and Lake Travis were the top teams in Texas and amongst the top best few in the country along side de la salle, oaks christian, and Hoover. You’re probably thinking of one of those Texas teams.
Yes. Every school in the country that experienced their best seasons felt the same. Especially the last few years of The Streak. Heard it every week. From all over. The story being of course, while others went up and down, DLS stayed perfect. Only able to schedule a few each year. Thats why the 2001 Poly game was monumental. Maybe the most talented program ever, with maybe their most talented team ever, got to play DLS at home. Favored by everyone. They lost. After years of saying "wish we could play them". They did. Still haven't beaten them to this day. 2002 DLS blew them out. And again a couple years ago.
@@tcwheelis West Monroe couldn’t beat a small school named Evangel Christian who was murdered by De La Salle. Stop the madness, California football is ages above any Louisiana powerhouse. West Monroe was great but they also failed to play John Tyler Texas at their home field, remember that? From what I hear West Monroe also was the main sponsor to have Evangel play down because they were so upset to get a beat down every season. Believe me you don’t wish to play De La Salle.
Get kid to bye into a cult like atmosphere with no distraction and you can pick the kid you want out of the entire bay area. That why they have not lost to a bay area team in years.
