The Cumberland Panther tyke football team solidified its place in the record books on Saturday with a 59-0 win over the Bel-Air Lions.

The 59-point win brings their total point production to 424 points in seven regular season games. That's the most points scored by an NCAFA team at any level and represents an average of 60.54 points per game which is another regular season best.

The Panther tykes are also the first team to go through the entire regular season without giving up a single point since the 2001 Panther tyke team.

With the playoffs set to begin next weekend, the tykes will try to add to their consecutive shutout streak against the Bell Warriors.

Their unprecedented success is due to their quick strike offence led by defensive lineman turned quarterback Christian Veilleux, who is arguably the most talented quarterback at the tyke level in recent memory, and a one-two running back tandem in Markaedyn Nelson and Fabrice Mukendi that is rivals any backfield in recent memory.

Combine their high-powered offense with a defence that hasn't allowed a first down all season and you have a juggernaut that will hard, if not impossible, to beat.
