The win was the 59th straight for Edgewood, which currently owns the longest active 11-man win streak in the country.

One of Rourke’s TD passes was to junior Jackson Tate, who after grabbing a screen pass hurdled a defender on his way to a 35-yard score.  The play became the #1 play Thursday night on ESPN SportsCenter’s top 10 plays.
