Garinger football owns a winning streak. Think about that. About six years of on the field frustration the Wildcats have won back to back games. As much as any championship has ever belonged to "the teams that came before" this achievement belongs to everyone who suited up during the tough times for the Wildcats. Everyone who believed and everyone who worked and everyone who supported a program that needed something good to happen.

Congratulations to Coach Chris Carter. He told me this week that he came from a high school that had 41 straight winning seasons in Georgia. People told Coach he was nuts to take the job, but he just told himself "to be great you have to take a chance." His enthusiasm bubbles over when he talks about his players. His belief is something that you can feel and almost touch. He deserves a great deal of credit and so do his seniors. They will forever be "the ones who broke the streak." Great, great stuff. This really is what high school sports is all about.

It was so much fun to get e-mails and phone calls from the Garinger community this week. Keep 'em coming and know we have a great time telling this great story.
