In what may turn out to be the top high school football game of 2007, ESPN’s top ranked Northwestern High School of Miami, Florida, defeated USA Today’s top ranked Carroll High School of Southlake, Texas 29-21 before 31,896 fans in Dallas Sept. 15.

The game was played at Southern Methodist’s Ford Stadium and was carried nationally on ESPNU.

The loss ended Carroll’s 49-game winning streak that extended back to 2001, the longest in the nation. It dampened the Dragons’ chances of winning their third mythical national championship in the last four years.
