Class 5A

I guess the biggest question is how long Owensboro is missing their key players on offense.

Fully healthy, the big 3 with Owensboro, Scott County and Pulaski is anyone's guess. Until then, it's looking like a 2 team race in my opinion.

Woodford just lying in wait. They are always a problem and will be this year as well.

They have never won a state championship, losing in their only appearance in 1969, and have only played in 4 state semifinals ('78, '83, '21, and '25) losing in all four. Not sure they are always a problem. They are a good team most years, but I would not think that Scott or Pulaski are worried about them......

Technically Versailles high school which became Woodford County high school won the class A state title in 1962. Versailles high absorbed Midway and Simmons high schools in 1964 to become Woodford County high school. Versailles High was the main high school in the Woodford County district, midway was just the midway area kids, and Simmons was the African American school before it was fully integrated in the early 1960's.

Did you or a family member go to Versailles High? This is really neat and I love old school pictures like this. Thanks for sharing.

Nope father went after it was already Woodford County. They honored this team my senior season of 2002 for their 40th anniversary of winning the state title. Several of the players and head coach spoke to us that week after practice and during team meal. Midway high school blue jays won the state basketball championship in 1937 as well, there use to be a banner for it hanging in the Woodford County high gym had a team picture on it.

Thanks for sharing. I am always fascinated by our states history. Good luck to the Yellowjackets and I hope they stay healthy and make it far this season.
