 PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The last two autumns, the Mount Greylock Regional High School football program has been a constant.
This year, the Mounties are experiencing change.
When Greylock puts its 26-game winning streak on the line Friday night against Pittsfield, coach Shawn Flaherty's squad will do so with a lot of new faces wearing red and white.
"From last year, we basically lost our entire line," Flaherty said at Tuesday's inaugural Berkshire County football "media day."
And that does not even count three-year starting quarterback Kent Hanson.
Still, Flaherty was optimistic in a room full of players and coaches just itching to be the first to end the streak.
