Win 24, then the streak ends
Wins over McEwen and Westmoreland brought the streak to 23. A 32–0 White House shutout was No. 24, exactly where the score list places its second caret and the note “24 Game winning streak.”
Charlotte ended the run 18–6 in the fourth entry. Greenbrier recovered immediately, beating East Robertson, Jo Byrns and Ashland City by a combined 85–25 to finish 6–1.
Greenbrier’s score list prints the Westmoreland result 41–0; the independent historical schedule prints 41–23 and therefore totals 73 points allowed instead of 50. The school final stays in the game record while the disagreement remains visible.

The records do not fully agree
The school list records Westmoreland 41–0; the independent schedule records 41–23. The school value remains public, making the season scoring 178–50 rather than 178–73.
One season inside a seven-year run
The seven Greenbrier recorded seasons under Howse total 52–8, 1,527–343 and 28 shutout wins. The separate coaching record prints 52–9; the source difference remains open rather than being forced into one number.
