Pop quiz: who was the last team to beat these crackers in the regular season?
Thankfully, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reminds us:
The Wildcats have the longest current regular-season winning streak in the state --- 50 in a row, going into Friday's game against Glynn Academy. They have won every regular-season game from Oct. 6, 2000, until now, a streak that began against Glynn Academy. The last team to beat Camden County in the regular season? Benedictine, a 9-7 winner on Sept. 29, 2000.
***Friday night flashback***...(wavy lines going back and forth, Bruce Springsteen's "Glory Days" starts playing in the background...)
The #1 song in the country was "Jumpin, Jumpin" by Destiny's Child, "Remember the Titans" ruled the Box Office, gas was a dollar, none of the girls we hung out with were fat yet (on the flip side, none of them put out either), Republicans actually believed in things like balanced budgets and limited government, and the Benedictine Cadets were kicking ass and taking names.
Yes, believe it or not, it was nearly 5 years ago on a nasty, rainy night when 9 of us ventured down I-95 for a two-hour drive to the edges of civilization to watch one of the greatest BC games of all time. Second-string kicker Brandon Mell stepped up and sealed the deal during the last seconds with a 36-yard field goal as payback for the Protestant Reformation.
Next pop question: name the 9 of us that were there that night (11 total if you include Leonard and Wood, who were busy kicking cracker ass on the field)

Let's see. Holland, Whitledge, Reardon, Madison, Hissam, myself...these last three are tough. I'll go with Raman, Sauers and either Haslam or Bruce. Damnit! I should know this!
7/9 ain't bad, I actually struggled with this myself last night.
Not Raman (too busy with Neher, he wouldn't support his own mother if she were playing Camden County). Not Mark. Bruce was there. That leaves one left. I'm going with Pace.
You left how Porter reinjured his knee after jumping for joy at the buzzer.
Was it Pace? He always flies under the radar. I know it wasn't Chris. He was going to ride with me but backed out at the last minute. This is really killing me.
Only Madison and Whitledge rode with me. You and Jennifer went in your dad's Taurus. I remember this like it was last weekend. This 9th person must have rode with Ed, and thus went to St. James or has strong St. James ties. Beef? Stephen Morgan? Toraya? This is rough.
