WCHS victory snaps 39-game losing streak
Four years of frustration came to a glorious end Friday night at Nunley Stadium.
“The Streak” is over.
The Pioneer football team posted 20 points in the second quarter on its way to a 34-12 victory over visiting Bradley Central, ending a losing skid which stretched all the way back to Aug. 17, 2001 and lasted for 39 consecutive games.
Senior quarterback Joshua Paz almost single-handedly took care of the Pioneers’ offensive needs, rushing for 133 yards, including three touchdowns and passing for 107 more, including a 22-yard TD strike to Nick Cantrell which gave WCHS its initial lead.
Jevon Ramsey added 115 rushing yards and a score, and Cantrell finished with four catches for 70 yards.
