Before Lamar's season opener at Logan-Rogersville on Friday night, the team was silent.
Until a rollout practice pass for a touchdown about 45 minutes before the game, the Tigers didn't make a noise. When Travis Bailey caught the ball, the team mobbed him in the end zone before a prayer.
That was the loudest the team with the nation's longest high school football winning streak was all night.
Lamar — winners of seven consecutive state championships — won the game in a 65-20 blowout on Friday night to extend the program's winning streak to 50.
