Buena Vista High School’s varsity basketball
team won back-to-back state championships in 1992 and 1993. But what makes
these two teams so significant is that they were so dominant, they won 55
consecutive basketball games - and a number of those wins were against highly-regarded
Class A opponents. The Knights’ streak began December 27, 1991, and
ended five games into the 1993-94 season when the Knights lost a four-point
game to Wooster High School during a Christmas Tournament in Ohio. After the
loss, they reeled off an additional 18 consecutive victories. Along the way
BV won two straight Class B state championships. In 1991-92, the Knights toppled
Grandville Calvin Christian 54-44, while beating Muskegon Heights 69-52 in
1992-93. Chester Surles, Shedrick Murrell, Terrance Roberson and Ramont Roberts
were just a few of the standouts on those Knight teams, who were coached by
Mr. Norwaine Reed.
