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.

Many of you don't know me that well as a person. You may know me as a tennis player or the little coach's son watching your games. However, I am so honored to witness the glory you have given my father. As I sat there watching each of you at the reunion, it took all of my energy to fight back the tears. Being an athlete, I understand the discipline and focus that it takes to be successful. What I am not used to seeing is the selflessness. My father is a great man. Many of you know that. He has touched you and you will never be the same. However, many driven coaches tend to distance their families in their passion to be successful. My father is a better father and grandfather than he was a coach. I have never felt a love and respect deeper than I feel for him. You have allowed me and my children to experience a part of my father, their grandfather, that we never really knew. They still know him as granddaddy, but now they also know him as Coach. As my son North said "I didn't know grandaddy was famous". He deserves to be in the Hall Of Fame, and will be, but he has already made it in the hearts of his family.
God Bless Each Of You.
Trey
