My step-father was a sophomore on this team. As a kid, I used to love hearing about the stories from this time. He had some great memorabilia from that win. The posters and pictures were awesome. I still enjoy seeing posters from that team. Brings back good memories to see somebody so close to me be part of something so great.

As an 81 HHS grad' date=' I remember that team very well. They beat the you know what out of us during the season...so tall and long with Dixon, Meier and McKinley as the front court. I always thought their guards were under-rated as well (Ponsler and Daugherty). We almost upset CCH in the regional semis (lost in OT to the Don Turney led Colonels). If we would have upset CCH and played SK in the 9th region finals, it may have been one of the most lop sided ever:) McKinley had one of the greatest state tournaments ever...averaged high 30's or maybe even 40 over the four games. He could really shoot it and basically earned a scholarship to UK because of that tournament if I recall correctly. The funny thing is that of all the games SK won in the state tournament that year, the finals was the easiest win...the first three were thrillers. Clyde is right about SK almost losing in the districts. That district was LOADED that year. Walton Verona was on the line for the front of the bonus up two with about 7 seconds left. They make it, game over (no 3 point shot then). One of WV's better players misses and SK makes a shot at the buzzer to tie, then wins in OT. I hope I have that story right - I think those are the details.[/quote']

Its been on a few times. Very interesting documentary. I believe it is an Eric Deters film.
