They really only have 7 because 1987 is 21 Champions ago.

 

Trinity has 10: 88, 89, 90, 94, 01, 02, 03, 05, 06, 07.

 

3 Threepeats and 1994. During that same time period, no one else has even repeated.

You mean, other than our three-peat, of course!

Ok in the last 21 years:D

 

No 5 peats in that run either.:D

Sorry for the ambiguity. No other team in Trinity's class has repeated.

I will take Boyle County/Danville. One town 20,000 people, really good football. Football players per capita, I would go with them.

 

I would say that the NewCath/Highlands proximity rivals that, and CovCath/Beechwood.

Okie,

Boyle had a great run in the late 90's but there is no way that they would have done five in a row in AAA in that time period.

You may be right. But you also might be wrong. The last three were in AAA (maybe you forgot that). As to the first two:

 

1999, maybe you are right. But it's not like they were chopped liver. Bobby Leffew, Travis Leffew, Jeff Duggins, Matt Quinn, Taylor Begley, Matt Miller just to name a few.

 

2000 I would highly debate. The above guys (Minus Bobby Leffew) along with Brodie Overstreet in the line and couple that with another year of maturity. (If not for a broken leg in the 4th game of the year it would have included a Sophomore by the name of Jacob Tamme)

 

I know those were two great Highlands teams with many talented players but just because Boyle was an AA team those two years doesn't automatically relegate them to 2nd rate. Add into the mix that the 2000 Boyle team beat the Class A Champion (14-1) Danville Admirals 47-0 and you've got a good argument in their favor.

Which part of the state has the richest and best football? North, East, South, or West?

 

 

THE CATHOLIC PART::D:lol:

That's all well and good but in 2000 you have Guidugli, Hamblen, Smith, Sester, Grover, and Scott. That's 6 D1 players right there. I'm not trying to slight Boyle, but there aren't many teams in KY history that would have matched up well with them. They beat Trinity, they got robbed versus Elder, and they ran roughshod through 3A. The finished in the USA Today Top 25.

I acknowledged that. And I acknowledge you may be right. Did you recognize that Boyle had a pretty good roster of Division 1 and 1AA players as well? It's an interesting debate but not one that probably fits this thread. I just remember the old "if Boyle were in AAA" debates back then and found it rather ironic that when they went to AAA they won more State Titles and kept the streak going to winning 73 out of 75 games in five years.

Louisville is its own area of the state... I think most people in Kentucky can agree on that.:cool:

 

 

Hey...you know how it is! No one acknowledges Louisville as a part of Kentucky.....until they want to include us to help them out. :D

Nobody can deny that. My point was there was mention of a 5 peat, and I wanted to make mention that those Highlands teams were something special. Boyle definitely had all the talent in the world. A guy I work with played at G-Town and on a couple of Friday's they watched those Boyle teams play. He said that they were some of the best teams that he'd ever seen. I trust his football IQ. What happened to Overstreet?

Gotcha! :thumb:

 

Brodie went to Wake Forest and was redshirted his freshman year. His first year of eligibility he was the starting OG on the line. About 3/4 through the year he suffered a detached retina. It never healed. He was never able to play football again. It's not often that a Redshirt Freshman starts on an ACC team in the line and his injury ruined a very promising career.

 

I've always thought that the line play was as big a contributor to Boyle's run as anything. When you consider how strong those lines were they were as much a factor in their dominance as anything.

Join the club! :cool:

I think we have reached the end of this one.
