(somber pensive music) - [Speaker 1] Southern Columbia, the state's longest losing streak.

- [Speaker 2] They had lost 26 games in a row at one point.

- [Speaker 3] If you looked in the crystal ball then and see where Jimmy Roth has that program now.

- [Announcer 1] 12 state championships.

- Wow, what a story that is.

- We're not talking about anybody matching what Southern Columbia does.

Not in Pennsylvania, but not even in the country.

- [Announcer 2] Jim Roth, he is the winning-est coach in Pennsylvania high school football.

- If Jim Roth coached 40 more years and lost every single game, went 0 and 10 for 40 years, he would still have a winning record.

(stirring dramatic music) - [Announcer 3] The Tigers of Southern Columbia.

- We're alive to witness something that's probably never gonna happen again in high school sports in Pennsylvania.

- Not only are they winning, but they're mercy rolling.

- We went out believing that we could not be beat and that we were gonna mercy roll every team.

- I saw kids from area schools that would come to watch them play and line up to get autographs.

- They've won five in a row twice now, and you don't wanna be the team to lose that.

(dramatic music) (someone yelling) - Southern Columbia, three losses in the regular season.

Something very rare.

- You know the last time a team in this program lost even two games?

(metal banging) - [Player 1] I'm so sorry, I'm sorry.

- But how are they gonna respond to this adversity?

- This is a (indistinct) game!

You have a (indistinct)!

Let's go!

(team yelling) (paper tearing) - Go!

- Win or lose, you're gonna remember this game for a long time.

- [Announcer 4] This is getting ridiculous, folks.

- [Player 2] Everyone thinks that we're the underdog.

(someone yelling) - [Player 3] They didn't seed me on the field that game.

- [Speaker 4] The Southern Columbia team that looked dead with three losses.

- They've built a very good program in such a powerful football state, - And the PAAA wants to make them triple A.

Their argument is, we don't wanna see this.

- People hated Ber 'cause we always won.

You know, they always hate someone that always wins.

- Other programs get better.

Get better.

- Take it out on these guys right now!

- [Announcer 5] Southern Columbia shooting for a record sixth consecutive state championship.

- [Speaker 5] How's it gonna play out?

What's the ending?

(stirring dramatic music) - [Coach] State champs on three.

- [Players] One, two, three, state champ!
