Chartiers Valley and Baldwin line up for the opening tipoff Friday, Dec. 11, 2020.
Chartiers Valley waited exactly nine months to pick up their 59th consecutive victory toward breaking a state record winning streak.
Now the Colts will have to wait another four weeks before attempting to win No. 60.
The top-ranked girls Class 5A team in the district and the state bottled up one of the top teams in Class 6A on opening night of the 2020-21 season as Chartiers Valley defeated host Baldwin, 59-48.
“That’s a very good Baldwin team,” Chartiers Valley coach Tim McConnell said. “They beat the No. 1 team in the state last year, and they have everyone back. We knew our first game was going to be tough, but all of our games are going to be tough because we have a target on our backs.”
