Barton held the record previously with 19 straight years of at least one playoff win set from 1985 through 2003 ... Charleston is one of just 8 teams in the state with at least 60 playoff wins in the modern playoff era, which began in 1968. ...

FEARLESS FACTS: Poole is a Prescott native, having played for legendary Eddie Jackson. ... Poole also was head coach at Spring Hill before taking over at his alma mater. ... This is the only matchup in this year's championship games between undefeated teams, also meaning that at least four undefeated teams will lose for the first time this season joining Class 7A North Little Rock, Class 6A Greenwood and Class 5A Wynne. ... Prescott is playing in its 10th championship game and is 4-5 in title tilts. ... Prescott's defense has intercepted 23 passes, including eight by Deonte Jamison. ... Senior quarterback Derrick Flynn has thrown for 2,221 yards and 16 touchdowns and rushed for 735 yards and 13 more scores. ... Carlos Vanhook has rushed for 1,273 yards and 29 touchdowns, and caught a touchdown pass. ... The game marks just the second time for two programs with at least 60 playoff wins to meet in the playoffs along with last year's game between Booneville and Harding Academy. ... Prescott boasts one of the more interesting nicknames, which was given to the team by a newspaper editor after Prescott's 22-14 win against Little Rock High in 1922 and adopted soon after by the school, and it means 'a tough objectionable character.'
