POWERS, MI (AP)-- The North Central Jets set a new state record for consecutive wins in boys' basketball with their 66th straight victory.
The Escanaba Daily Press reported that the Jets hammered neighboring archrival Bark River-Harris 76-29 Friday night, enabling them to eclipse the 59-year-old record held by Chassell.
North Central began the streak on Dec. 8, 2014, and has not lost since dropping an 81-79 Class D quarterfinal decision to Cedarville on March 18, 2014.
Senior Jason Whitens, the Class D player of the year last season when the Jets won their second straight Class D state title, led the Jets with 23 points. Senior Dawson Bilski added 21 points and finished the night with 1,002 career points. Bobby Kleiman added 14 points for the Jets.
