The St. Michael's Horsemen are putting two streaks on the line in the 2026 prep football season.
The first is their run of three consecutive Class 3A state championships.
The second is a winning streak of 33 games that dates back almost three years, to early October of 2023 and a 7-6 loss to West Las Vegas.
"Our thinking is that we're not putting a lot of weight on the (winning) streak," Horsemen coach Joey Fernandez said. "We're putting weight on week to week. Our No. 1 goal is to get to the state championship game and get a blue trophy."
St. Mike's can win its 34th straight game this week, as it takes on Capital.

SN 140: Ranking the 25 greatest college football personalities of all time, from Ed Orgeron to Beano Cook originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
A "Whiteout" with matching T-shirts in the student sections. Tennessee orange-and-white checkerboard end zones. A crimson-and-cream streak on a white-and-burnt orange helmet.
College football is full of colors – hyper-specific shades painted across football fields in the United States. Notre Dame beat Army 13-7 at the Polo Grounds on Oct. 18, 1924 – and legendary New York-Herald Tribune reporter Grantland Rice wrote, "Outlined against a blue, gray October sky the Four Horsemen rode again."
Rice was among the first colorful personalities who took college football into the national spotlight in the 1920s. Since then, several other media personalities have emerged to complement the players and coaches that have made college football special. Sporting News is honoring those personalities as part of our SN 140 celebration this season.
These are the players, coaches, media personalities – and even in a few cases mascots – who have brought a little more to college football.

Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert is among the three newest advisors to the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority, officials announced Aug. 14.
As a member of HISA's Horsemen's Advisory Group, Baffert is expected provide feedback on the Racetrack Safety, and Anti-Doping and Medication Control programs, which cover rules and regulations in horse racing. The others named to the 18-member advisory group Aug. 14 are trainers Jena Antonucci and Tim Keefe.
"We are also pleased to welcome our new members to the Advisory Group and look forward to the perspectives they will bring as we continue working collaboratively with stakeholders to enhance the sport for horses and participants alike," HISA CEO Lisa Lazarus said in a statement.
Baffert, Antonucci and Keefe succeed outgoing advisory group members Kelsey Danner, Gavin Murphy and Jonathan Sadler.
Baffert, 73, has trained six Kentucky Derby and two Triple Crown winners in a more than 40-year career. In 2021, Baffert received a two-year suspension from Churchill Downs after Medina Spirit, who had finished first in that year's Kentucky Derby, was found to have failed a postrace drug test. The suspension was later extended one year amid a lawsuit from Baffert, who had claimed Churchill was targeting him and trying to destroy his career.

August is kicking off with a bang as WWE hosts SummerSlam across two nights this weekend in Minnesota. It marks the second time WWE has shifted its second-biggest PLE of the year to a two-night format, and the show has big shoes to fill after last year's surprise-filled show.
As usual, the Uncrowned Horsemen — Kel Dansby, Robert Jackman, Drake Riggs and Anthony Sulla-Heffinger — are here to break down the entire event, answer burning questions and make predictions for the 12-match card. Let's ride!
CM Punk vs. Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship headlines Night 1.
Kel Dansby: I haven't been genuinely excited for a Roman Reigns ****** le match in a long time, so Cody Rhodes vs. CM Punk wins by default.
It has everything you want in a SummerSlam main event: two of WWE's biggest stars, a strong story, and several believable directions depending on who leaves as champion. Roman Reigns vs. Seth Rollins, on the other hand, feels like it's leaning heavily on Shield nostalgia. If we're being honest, we're right back to Reigns relying on Bloodline interference to keep the ****** le. At this point, it doesn't feel like Rollins has much of a chance to dethrone him.

With the calendar turning to July, we're officially in the second half of 2026. The first half of the year produced some truly special moments, some serious head-scratchers and everything in between in the world of professional wrestling.
All throughout, we've been watching, ******* yzing, critiquing and fantasy booking, so what better group to dissect 2026 so far than the Uncrowned Horsemen themselves. So, without further ado, here's how Robert Jackman, Raj Prashad, Drake Riggs and Anthony Sulla-Heffinger rate the first half of the year in pro wrestling.
Let's ride!
Robert Jackman: I imagine we're going to have a fair bit of agreement here, but so be it. I'm going with Ospreay and Strickland at Forbidden Door this weekend. I really don't have much to add to Riggs' six-star review and live blog from the night itself, which now reads like a first draft of history.
It really was one of those matches that just ticked every box. It was athletically and technically impressive, it was well paced, there were killer spots, and it had a good storyline running throughout. The fact that they even made good use of the Death Riders feels like showing off. I mean, last year I couldn't wait to see the back of that crew, but they actually made it work.

June 13 (Reuters) - ***** eX roared into markets this past week with a valuation of more than $2 trillion, surpassing two members of Wall Street's "Magnificent Seven" and raising a key question: Does the Mag 7 name still fit? And if not, what should replace it?
The IPO, the biggest in U.S. history, vaulted ***** eX's value above two Mag 7 members: CEO Elon Musk's other company, Tesla, and Meta Platforms. With trillion-dollar contenders such as OpenAI and Anthropic waiting in the IPO wings, the club may soon need a name change, ***** ysts said.
With ***** eX's arrival, "it becomes very hard to keep using Mag 7 as the clean shorthand for market leadership because one of the most important companies in the world would immediately be outside the label," said Shay Boloor, chief market strategist at Futurum Equities.
These groupings are not formal market categories, but shorthand labels coined by strategists, investors and the media to capture the hottest big stocks at a given moment. Such monikers have a long history, ranging from the "Nifty 50" of the 1960s and 1970s to the "Four Horsemen" of the late 1990s dot-com boom.
