Witnessing Perfection

Wow! The 2008 Johnston High School Dragons baseball team won the Iowa State High School Baseball Tournament and became the first undefeated class 4A champions. Forty wins, no losses. That's better than the Cubs! See the pitcher in the image? I know his dad!

The game started pretty rocky but the Dragons didn't allow a run until they'd taken a commanding lead. In the end, Johnston won 6-2 and had their perfect season.

It's amazing that a team could string together forty straight wins. I'd have thought that somewhere along the way, they'd have had a game where everyone did everything wrong while their opponents did everything right... but it didn't happen. Congrats Johnston!
