I attended Independence High School in Charlotte, NC from 1990-1993.  When I was there, it was basketball that we were more known for.  Todd Fuller, who eventually made it into the NBA [drafted ahead of Kobe Bryant] played hoops for Independence in his sophomore and junior seasons [he opted for Charlotte Christian for his senior year]. 

Over a decade later, Independence High is a football national power. 

The Patriots have won 79 straight games.....the nation's longest winning streak.  They've won their first two games this season by a combined score of 69-0. 

The Patriots have won the last FIVE North Carolina High School championships. 

Currently, the Patriots are #8 in the USA TODAY PREP 25 poll. 

The past five years, the Patriots have finished the season ranked in the top 4 of that USA TODAY PREP 25 poll.   Last year, they finished #2. 

Last year, the Patriots had two Parade All Americans [both went to Georgia].

Former Patriot, Chris Leak, is one of the best QBs in college football. 

Good luck in 2005, Pats!!!

  Duxbury High School was 72-0 in soccer during my time on the field there.... right up until we played those BRUTES from Marshfield in our final HS regular season game, at which point we were 72-1....
  
  I was injured rather badly in the previous game and missed the Marsh Vegas game..... so I don't really consider the Marshfield loss to be a blemish on MY personal record.
  
  Much like Marciano, who grew up maybe 8 miles from the village of Monponsett, I retired undefeated.
