The record for consecutive state championship defeats is held by Gainesville (six) and two other schools. What are those schools? (Answer Thursday)

Answer to Tuesday's question: Buck Cravey is the only coach who has won state titles in the GISA and the GHSA. Cravey won championships at Vidalia (1969) and Pinewood Christian (1997). Mark Farriba of Prince Avenue Christian could be the second to accomplish the feat.

Our Daily List of teams that have won back-to-back state championships without losses or ties should have included 1956-57 Valdosta and 1982-83 West Rome.

Please send all-region teams to GHSF Daily at ghsfdaily@bellsouth.net. We recommend that all-region teams include the year in school of each player. All-region players who are recognized as underclassmen have a better chance of being recruited and getting recognition on preseason all-area or all-state teams in 2013.
