Lady Vikings Winning Streak Years: My Very Best Wishes to All

Lady Vikings Winning Streak Years

The Lady Vikings, the girls basketball team from Taylor County High School in Butler, Georgia, won 132 consecutive games and 5 state championships. This streak occurred from the last game of 1967 to the middle of the season in 1972. The streak ranks first in Georgia and fourth nationally for consecutive wins by a girls basketball team. Lady Vikings players, managers, cheerleaders, fans, and Coach Carter are invited to write memories of the winning streak years to this blog.

My Very Best Wishes to All

Glenn moved to Taylor County first..the Viking girls saw how tall she was and must have been thrilled..then they discovered that her hidden talents may not have included basketball. Then I came to town.. ok..not as tall, but another hopeful. While I did attend Coach Carter's basketball camp one summer and conquerred one "mean layup", I ultimately found my niche as one of yalls biggest fans...yelling my fool head off! Sherry taught me that!! haha

My very best wishes to all the Ladies of Viking. Sandra, Edie, Bunny, Patsy, MaryAnn, Kathy...Sherry, Dawn..wow.. thanks for the memories!

Funny, I can only remember the winning..not that loss! Enjoy your celebration...
