Ryan Hill was a heck of a player for Webster back in 95

I wish I could get ahold of the highlight film for that year... It was definitely a season to remember

This is a really fun read.

I was lucky enough to play on this team as a junior. It really could be a story plot. I will try and locate my highlight film and a team photo.

 

So many aspects of the year made it special. After the passing of Coach Hogg, Willard stepped in and lead the team which had a great group of seniors. Bryce Gibson at QB lead the offense and Cy Dossett lead the defense at safety (also played receiver). Cy set a school record for interceptions that year. Offense was a wing T style offense with a large offensive line. Defensive line rotated 4 guys that I would say averaged close to 290lbs. Extremely large for 2A.

 

In a preseason scrimmage we were embarrassed by OCath. They scored at will.

 

Season began and team continued to improve as season went on and just found ways to win. Won first 9 games which clinched the district title. 7 team district at that time and 10th game of the season was against Heath which finished 6th in the district. As mentioned before Heath embarrassed the Trojans 30-0. A lack of focus and looking ahead was liking to blame but it reset our focus and I still feel like we would've never won the region without that loss. Absolute focus was there from then on. 1st and 2nd round games were wins over Butler Co and Monroe County. This lead to the matchup with Owensboro Catholic at Rash stadium. Webster Co. 11-1 and Owensboro Catholic 12-0 and ranked #1 in state.

 

We rotated defensive coverages and sacked the QB 7 times (had single digit sacks for the entire season I do believe). We jumped out early and totally took the Aces by surprise. Crowd that night was electric, standing room only. A night I will never forget. Jumped out early then held on for the win.

 

Corbin game was also a really exciting game. Game was at Corbin the day after Thanksgiving. We lead most of the game but a questionable fumble that was returned by Corbin for a TD, a great defensive adjustment by the redhounds and a late interception untimately did us in. A great run.
