The longest winning streak in New York high school football history has a new owner.

Garden City, the state’s No. 1 team in Section 8 this season, etched itself into the record books on Friday night by winning its 63rd consecutive game. The 31-0 victory over Baldwin (N.Y.) victory broke Maine-Endwell’s previous record of 62 wins in a row, a feat they accomplished between 2011 and 2015.

“It’s quite an accomplishment to own the longest winning streak in New York State history,” Garden City coach David Ettinger told Newsday. “There have been a lot of great programs over all the years. And for us to stand alone is something really special. It says a lot about the full commitment to the program from our coaches, players, administrators and the support we get from our community.”

According to that same story, Garden City hasn’t dropped a game since 2019, winning the Long Island championship five years running. The Trojans have also collected four Long Island Class II titles and nine Nassau Conference II crowns.

They’ve been particularly dominant this season, allowing just 50 points across nine games and outscoring their opponents by an average of 37 points per contest. The No. 7 team in the state according to the Massey Rankings, they’ll next move onto the Nassau Conference II semifinals next weekend against East Meadow.

The two teams met earlier this year, with Garden City rolling to a 42-0 blowout win on September 27.
