The Massapequa Chiefs pulled off a wild upset Monday night, taking down the Garden City Trojans 21-14 and absolutely snapping the nation’s longest high school football winning streak. Garden City’s incredible 68-game run is officially over, a streak that USA Today’s Joseph Spears noted hadn’t seen a loss since way back in 2019. Talk about an untouchable record, until now.
How Massapequa Pulled Off the Unthinkable
This wasn’t some blowout, folks, this was a battle! Massapequa senior wide receiver Dylan Milio dropped the game-winning touchdown inside the final minute of play, making him an instant legend. That pivotal drive? It all started with a clutch interception from defensive lineman Ryan Chabus. Milio wasn’t kidding when he told the New York Post’s Alex Mitchell that “It was definitely one of the closest games we’ve ever played in.” He even added, “It meant a little more because now we could break history. In school, we were not really paying attention to teachers today, honestly.” You can only imagine the energy in that locker room!
The New Kings of the Streak
With Garden City’s historic run ended, the title for the nation’s longest active high school football winning streak now belongs to Carl Albert High School in Midwest City, Oklahoma. The Titans have racked up an impressive 58 consecutive victories. While that’s an insane number, they’ve still got a ways to go to hit the all-time mark set by De La Salle High School in California, who famously won 151 straight games between 1992 and 2004. Think about that for a second!
What a wild game, and what a shocking end to an unbelievable streak. It just goes to show you, every single game has the potential for history, no matter the level.
