MULLEN, NEBRASKA
Mike Brown has put in 28 years coaching the eight-man football team at Mullen High School in Nebraska.  The team record in his tenure stands at 210-75.  Mullen has won state titles in 1990 and 1998.  Brown has helped build a strong tradition at the school.  Dan Brost has been an assistant on the staff for 27 years.  The community of Mullen has 500 people.  That's not exactly a huge area to draw from, but it also helps build a very loyal following.  Brown, who has coached junior high football and basketball, also coaches varsity golf in the spring.
 

GARLAND, UTAH
Bear River has made the Utah state high school playoffs for 26 straight years.  Head coach Chris Wise does plan on ending that streak anytime soon.  His program remains one of the most successful across the state, and it's enjoyed a long and proud tradition.  In 2003, the school was 12-1 and won a state title. They did it again in 2004 with a 13-0 record.  With 1,200 students in grades 9-12, Wise and members of his coaching staff have coached or played in a combination of 15 state championship games.
 

INDEPENDENCE, NORTH CAROLINA
There are dominant teams, and there are dynasties.  The Patriots have not only won seven consecutive state titles, but their 108-game winning streak is believed to be the longest among public schools in the United States. Coach Tommy Knott hopes to break the all-time record of 151, held by California private school powerhouse De La Salle.  Though several of its players have earned major Division I college scholarships, none have landed in the NFL during Knott's tenure.
 

PAHOKEE, FLORIDA
In an agricultural town of 6,554 people that is famous for its sugar cane, the success of the football team is a sweet source of pride for Leroy Foster and the Pahokee Blue Devils.  Foster has directed the Blue Devils to Class 2B state championships in 2003, 2004 and 2006.  His record sits at an impressive 60-4 mark.  When Foster arrived at Pahokee, the team was perennially strong, but not dominant. Foster has coached the Blue Devils into at least the state semifinals in all five seasons since he arrived. They lost in the semis his first year, then won the state championship the next two before falling in the title game in 2005 to Trinity Catholic. They avenged that defeat in the 2006 finals.
