Caldwell scored 35 first half points Oct. 9 to hand Salado Eagles their 19th straight loss under coach Brent Graham by the score of 56-13. The last time Salado varsity Eagles won a football game was on Oct. 11, 2013.
While it seems an eternity since the Eagles have won a game, Salado is not even close to the records set by other Texas high school football teams in terms of losing. Houston Scarborough, earlier this season, broke a 59 game losing streak. Last year, at 0-10, Houston Scarborough actually went to the playoffs because their district only had four teams.
Dawson was 0-43 until it beat Texas Win in September and Grand Saline broke its 31-game streak beating Kerens.
Salado has three chances left to notch a win in 2015 and one of those is on the road against a top 10 team, LaGrange on Oct. 30.

Giddings got past Sealy 38-35 and beat Cuero handily 45-26 on the road.
