Bubba Wilson Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 If you were to make a movie based on a high school basketball team or a high school coach whom would you pick? My early thoughts are the Clay Co Tigers and Coach Bobby Keith in the 80's or Bo Davenport and Edmonson County back in the day. Breck County had a nice run. Yes Rojas we will put Coach Hicks and Scott County in there for you...lol What does everyone think? Who would you select to play the Coach...etc.... might be a fun topic while we wait for basketball season to come around again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claude Henry Smmoott Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 The Simon Kenton state champions from '81. That story is unique and inspiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba Wilson Posted May 31, 2007 Author Share Posted May 31, 2007 That was a great story as was the Laurel County championship of 1982. Paintsville of 96 was another. Carlisle County in 1983....the list goes on. Keep them coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubba Wilson Posted May 31, 2007 Author Share Posted May 31, 2007 King Kelly Coleman is a story that should have been put on the bigscreen. He story is similar to Johnny Neuman of fame back in the old SEC if anyone recalls that name from the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOHN BOY Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Corky Withrow is another interesting story. Coach Bob Davis would be also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spe690 Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Wayland High School in the days of Kelly Coleman. No question should the movie be made about King Kelly!!! The storyline would be amazing. Jack Pack used to tell us all of the old stories of King Kelly while he was growing up as a kid around him. In all honesty, it could be a great movie!!!

gchs_uk9 Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 ...as was the Laurel County championship of 1982. Most people would think the finish was corny! Its almost hard to believe that it really happened! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westsider Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 That was a great story as was the Laurel County championship of 1982. Paintsville of 96 was another. Carlisle County in 1983....the list goes on. Keep them coming. Actually, Carlisle County didn't win the state title, but lost on a last-second shot in triple overtime to end what might be the best championship game ever. Heck, I cried after the Comets lost that game ... so did most of Carlisle County. They were a heck of a team to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No other choice comes close. Its the 1928 Carr Creek national runner up team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rojas4 Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Another good choice was the 1936 Benham Tiger team. They were the best team in the state by far. Benham had dominated their region and beaten Corbin badly in the regular season but was not allowed to participate in the regional tournament because Harlan County was quaritantined due to an illness epidemic in Harlan County. Corbin went on to win the state championship in 36. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CowboysFan Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 I would have to go with the Simon Kenton story. Everything for a good movie is there. Plus they made a great run for the state championship and won it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
