Selma's football losing streak will end Friday night at McLane.

One more loss and the Bears would set a Central Section record for 35 consecutive defeats. They tied the Fresno High's record of 34 on Friday in a 35-28 loss to Reedley.

While tied to section lore in a negative way, there were encouraging signs in the loss to Reedley: The Pirates have turned their Division II program around under second-year coach Justin Garza. If ever there's an insurance policy in football, it's successful rushing. And Selma's Adrian Pacheco rushed for a school-record 280 yards against Reedley.

He'll carry Selma to victory against McLane, which lost 21-0 in a season-opener against Hoover.
