Coral Gable High School's 28-game winning streak, which spanned three seasons, two state championships and one national title, succumbed to Miami High defensive might 14-7 in the Orange Bowl. Miami was led by Bobby Carlton, a rookie coach.  The game was played in front of a record crowd of 48,631 at the Orange Bowl--the largest crowd to watch a high school football game in state history. Both teams entered undefeated and ranked #1 and #2 in the state.  Miami High went on to a 12-0 state championship season (defeating Melbourne 44-12 in the 2A final) and was voted mythical national champions by the Minneapolis-based National Sports News Network.
