Just an interesting side note on this topic; under head coach Pat Sands, Emporia High school set the national dual record with I believe 119 consecutive dual wins in 1977,what ever is said about Coach Sands, that's as impressive as it gets! However, not one state title was gotten during that many years of accumulation. It wasn't until 1980 Emporia got its first state title; and then started cranking them out after that.
