Kickoff is scheduled for 6pm.
Although the Broncs now own the record for longest winning streak, there’s one more record to chase down.
That would be the longest unbeaten streak.
Way before modern times, football teams did not play overtime, thus a tie game was just that.
From 1953 to 1956, Worland put together a streak, where they went 34-0 with 2 ties, thus they went 36 straight games without a loss, although the Warriors did not win every game in that stretch.
Sheridan can tie that record this coming Friday with a win.
