There are streaks and THEN THERE ARE STREAKS. Some good, some BAD.
If you look at the record book there are some that stand out and there are some hidden ones. Here are some of them.
PASSING:
Jonah Kahl of Turtle Lake had quite a 10-game season in 2017. He holds the record for Moist Consecutive Games, 300 yards or more: Season. Kahl threw three 300-yard games and three 400-yard games all in his final six games. His season totals were 318-197-9-3,430-45. Against Hurley in his final game, a 76-44 loss, Jonah was 58-26-1-452-3, his top passing yardage performance. He tossed seven touchdowns in the lake Holcombe/Cornell 52-16 win that started his streak. Kahl had eight total 300-yard+ games in 2017. Jonah led the state in passing in his senior season.
Matt Ferris of Appleton Xavier posted 11 consecutive games with 200-yards or more in a game during the 2013 year. Like Jo ah Kahl, Matt Ferris led the state in passing with seasonal stats of 419-258-11-3,949-50. In game 10 he had sis “worst” game of the year, a 38-10 win over Notre Dame, when he completed 20 of 45 attempts for 223 yards and no touchdowns and two interceptions. Having been injured in week 12’s game against Seymour, he gamely played in the state semi-final game against Greendale, a 44-20 loss. Despite his injury he was 26-14-1-206-2.
A note on the 2020 COVID season as in the fall, Michael Dul of Mosinee tossed for seven 200+ yard games in his team's only seven games in that shortened season.
RUSHING:
Several running backs are tied for the record of Most Consecutive Games: 300 yards or more. During his groundbreaking 1970 season when he became the first Wisconsin back to run form2,000 yards or more in a season, Dick Barbour of Hillsboro did it. Next, I had the privilege of attending game three of the 2001 season when Adrian Davis posted his third consecutive 300+ game, just days after 9/11. Davis would become the first and only rusher to gain 3,000+ yards in a single season as he carried the ball 440 times for 3,422 yards and 43 touchdowns. He had a total of five 300+ games in 2001. The final person to do it was Jake Simuncak of South Milwaukee who turned the trick in 2016.
Columbus back Colton Brunell, the state's all-time leading rusher, holds the record for 30 consecutive games with 100-yards or more.
Ass for receiving, I really have no records for things like consecutive games receiving a pass or catching a touchdown or gaining 100 or 200 yards. I have to work on that.
As far as team records there are a few, both good and bad.
First the good.
Everyone knows that Kimberly holds the record for the moist consecutive wins with 70 covering the 2013-2017 seasons. The 70-wins beat the 48 consecutive wins by Manitowoc (1983-87) and that of Waunakee (2009-2012). But what about consecutive shutouts?
Consecutive Shutouts
The official record is 18, set by St. John’s and it is legit as your looking over the records below will show. I’ve included the 1904-06 seasons:
Eau Claire High School which da a dubious 16-game shutout streak declined to meet St. John’s at a neutral site of their choosing. Lawrence College is now Lawrence University. The Culver game was played at Northwestern University’s field in Evanston IL. St. John’s was honored as the Military Prep Champion, the Western Prep Champion and the N.C.I Champion. The win over Beloit Academy was for the North Central Interscholastic trophy.
Because St. John’s was aware of St. Louis utilizing the pass in their win over Carroll College (Now Carroll University) just days before the two met, they may have tried a pass or two of their own against the Pelicans and might have been the first Wisconsin High School to throw a pass. Just sublimation on my part. The 27-points by St. Louis ended the shutout streak. Milwaukee West Side later became West Division.
I should point out that many schools in the early history of the sport considered a forfeit as a 1-0 or 2-0 win and added that to their record as well as Alumni games. Some schools chose to not include Alumni games as part of their records. The school with the second most consecutive shutouts was the 1903-05 Eau Claire High School squads. Included in their streak were several questionable games. One was against a Kennedy Business School, a school that was open for a few years and was run out of a two-room log cabin. Also, two Alumni games, a game against some local railroad workers (It might have really been just a scrimmage) and a 2-0 forfeit over Fort Atkinson. Their 1903 10-0 game against Winona MN is a disputed score.
The more “modern” shutout record is held by Cashton who in 1980 won all eight games and in 1981 shutout their first five opponents before allowing a field goal in a 24-3 win over Stratford. The school won their next six games, also by shutouts and earned the Division 6 State Title. Only three points allowed in 20-games. Quite a feat.
The top shutout streak, Most Consecutive shutouts in a Season, was performed by the 2019 Stratford Tigers who posted 12 consecutive whitewashes before allowing Amherst to put seven points on the board in a state semi-final 19-7 win. Stratford lost the next week min the finals to Lake Country Lutheran in the finals 22-13 to end a story-book season.
Consecutive Losses:
Now, the bad. It is widely known that Shorewood from 1988-94 had a 63-game losing streak. Suppressing at the time if you looked at the school’s past performance in the 1930’s-1950’s. My record book currently shows Green Bay West as having a 45-game losing streak, 2009-2014. This is surprising as Green Bay West once had one of the all-time best overall winning records.
But I need to update the record book. I have found that Nort Fond du Lac had an even longer losing streak than Green Bay West. After a season opening 34-20 win over Randolph in 2016, North Fondy proceeded to lose 53 times. The streak ended in 2023 when in game two of the season they posted a 20-14 win over Ripon. However, the school has currently, as of game six of the 2024 season a 63-game consecutive conference losing record that dates back to an October 18, 2013 28-26 win over Kettle Moraine Lutheran. The conference losing streak may continue, at least for another week, as they play against a tough Mayville squad on Friday, October 4.
During the losing streak I couldn’t find a story in the Fond du Lac reporter newspaper that explained why North Fondy only played three games in 2018. A game in each August, September and October and there were no game stories to be found. in the paper They had two games cancelled in 2017, but the season record in WisSports just shows the three scheduled games for 2018. They played seven games in the Spring of 2021, the 2020 COVID season.
So there are some of the streaks that can be found in the record book.
