So —

Will Charlotte Independence hit 100 straight wins and a 7th consecutive state title?

That is the only question before us, right?

With only three starters back on defense and a powerful team in Butler a few miles down Hwy. 51, the Patriots might have to flat outscore opponents to this year to keep the streak alive.

Having watched quite a few HS football powerhouses over the years — including Gerry Faust’s Cincinnati Moeller juggernaut — I can say I’ve never seen a program as well drilled at Tommy Knotts’ Indy squads. They just go out and execute to an almost NFL-level of precision.

If they do again this year, then that 100-win mark should be within reach.
