River Hill’s football team is putting up some impressive numbers this fall and not just in the 68 points the Hawks have scored during their first two games and the miniscule six points they have allowed.

Friday night’s 27-0 win over Wilde Lake was their 30th straight victory. The Wildecats haven’t beaten River Hill since 2003, but then again, few teams have.

The Hawks have won 35 consecutive games in Howard County and 51 of their last 52 against county opponents. The last time the Hawks lost to a county foe was on Oct. 29, 2005 when Long Reach beat them, 15-14.

They're not thinking about it right now, but the Hawks would like to keep another streak going too as they aim for a third straight state title. This one would be a little different, however, since the Hawks won the last two in Class 2A but are now part of a loaded Class 3A.
