Please include some of the players names, former coaching greats that roamed the sidelines, etc...

Mason County - 1987 under Head Coach Allen Feldhaus

 

Deron Feldhaus, Jerry Butler, Chad Fletcher make it to the Elite 8 of the Sweet 16 before being put out on the a last second shot by a Ballard team led by Allan Houston. I believe the guy that hit the shot last name was Reisenberg, his only 2 points.

 

Mason County - 1992, 93, 94 under Head Coach Fred Hester. The Royals make it 3 straight trips to the Sweet 16, running the table in the 10th Region going undefeated in the Region, but losing in first round games all three years in the Sweet 16. Some of the players over that 3 year stretch include Orlando Myrick, Timmy Myrick, Sean Myrick, Kyle Sherman, Phil Doyle, Snapper Steward, John Fryman and I know there are others.

 

Fast forward ahead, 2003 Mason County State Champions under Head Coach Kelly Wells. Players include Chris Lofton(Mr. Basketball), Dusting Grutza, Jarrod Litzinger and Wes Jones.

 

I know there are others but that is a start.

1986 Clark County Cardinals. The coach was Guy Strong, very talented x's and o's coach. Their lineup includes Ron Handshoe(Hanover College),Eric Williams(Head Coach at Tates Creek), Rick Burkehead(UK Football), Larry Gay(Union College), and Steve Schureman(Virgina Tech and Georgetown College). Very athletic and disciplined team. I cant remember how far they went in state, but I think they got beat by Pulaski County and Reggie Hanson.

Larry Gay did not play on this team or go to Union College. He went to Florida State and played on the 1968 team.

Dwayne Gay maybe? :confused:

That is Larry's son, but I don't think he played on the 1986 team.

I might be wrong for once, but maybe Larry from 1968 had a son and named him after himself. Nonetheless, he was an excellent player on an excellent team, GRC4LIFE is correct, and he did go to Union College. I stand corrected.

Now I am confused. Find out and post so I wont be up all night trying to figure it out. One thing is for sure, he graduated in 86 and went to Union College.

Thank you! I was partially right.

I thought it was going to be essential to persuade the coaching staff from that year(1986) to join BGP to set the record straight. You were partially right and probably typed the wrong first name with the right name in mind. I think we all knew who you were talking about. Its a great thread and one with some history.

Thank you! I was partially right.

 

Hey we all make mistakes. I know that Larry Gay played in the state tourney for Clark Co in 1968, because the team my husband played on beat them.

What team was your husband on?
