Reitz is on a 23 SIAC game winning streak...do we know what the longest is? I assume if we havent beat it yet with this streak then we currently own the longest.

Lt. Clark, do you knwo the answer to this?

I looked at this last year also. Starting with one win at the end of the 1959 season, 9 straight in 1960 (Vincennes, New Albany and Bloomington were in the SIAC then), 7 straight in 1961, then 8 more straight before a tie with Bosse in 1962 makes that 25 straight SIAC wins and it was 16 straight city wins. This continued to 1963 for the unbeaten streak to finish at 29 in SIAC and 19 in city. From 1975-1978 we had 23 straight SIAC and 18 straight in city. Right now we are currently at 23 straight conference wins (25 if you count beating Harrison and Central in sectional games) and 20 straight city games (22 if you count the sectional wins). So we are right on (or near, however you want to count the tourney games) the mark for SIAC wins and already passed the best mark for city wins.

Nice work. To summarize

25 SIAC wins 59-62
16 city win 59-62

29 games unbeaten (SIAC) 59-63
19 city unbeaten

23 SIAC wins 75-78
18 city wins 75-78

CURRENT STREAK

23 SIAC wins 06-10
20 city wins 06-10

I personally do not think you can count the sectional games because they are not for the conference/city title but that is my opinion.

We have the chance this year to break the SIAC streak for most consecutive wins! Lets get it done BLUE!

I'm finishing up the e-newsletter right now when I saw this. I will have it in there but thought I'd post this for everyone to see here, too:

• 26 - Tell City (1970 to 1974)
• 25 - Reitz (1959 to 1962)
• 24 - Castle (1981 to 1985)
• 23 - Reitz (2006 to present)
• 23 - Reitz (1975 to 1978)
• 21 - Mater Dei (1999 to 2002)
• 29* - from 1959 to 1963, Reitz was undefeated in 29 consecutive SIAC games, having won 28 and tied one
• 29* - from 1960 to 1964, Tell City was undefeated in 29 consecutive SIAC games, winning 27 and tying twice

These are counting conference games only. Tell City actually lost to Reitz during their 26-game streak, but the Marksmen were in the SIAC B/2A division and only games against division rivals counted.

Another streak could be going 4 straight years without a conference loss. Meaning the senior class from each of the other schools would graduate without ever being a part of a win against Reitz. If it happens they can say there is no one in any of the other high schools that ever beaten Reitz on the varsity level. If I am calculating this right, the Bosse game would be the tie (29) and the MD game would be for 30.

Your math is correct Blue. Mater Dei would make 30 in a row. Hard to believe an achievement would be possible, but here we are looking it right in the face if we take care of business each and every week. Something special to watch and be a part of. Lets sit back and enjoy this ride.

We all need to think the Mcintosh boys when we see them out on the street! j/k l o l

thank them, is what I was trying to say.

How about we thank all the players during that streak? Its a team effort. the Mcintosh's could'nt have done it alone

I agree this is why I said j/k for JUST KIDDING. Its a team game, I know that. I think Reitz will be just as good when the Mcintosh's are gone.
