The Maryland School for the Deaf football program has just won its sixth consecutive deaf school national championship. The team earned a 10-1 record, outscoring its opponents 419-140. The single defeat came at the hands of Reading (Pa.) Central Catholic. That was Maryland’s first defeat since 2005, ending a 34-game winning streak. The Oriole's eam has won 65 of the past 67 games. Remarkably, the school has an enrollment of only about 150.
