Harrison County went 40-1 in 1997 with their only loss to Miami High School from Florida. The Breds won the State Championship in 1997 and follwed it up with Back To Back in 1998, the last time a team has won the Baseball State Championship in Back To Back years.

Lex Cath had a lot of talent a couple of years ago led by 1st round MLB pick Ben Revere.

Harrison Co has had several teams. The 97 team and there was a team with Shawn Walker, Deion Newby, Brad Allison etc that was loaded too!

That's my pick, as well.

That team was good but not the best, but every fan for Kentucky baseball has to be a fan of Ben Revere. Good luck to him.

Madison Central's team went 43-0 if I remember the sign in Madison Co. correctly. They had a pitcher, last name Cruse, that was practically unhittable at the high school level. I believe he may have gone undefeated for the last two or three years of high school. I remember they starting playing their games on the radio and talking about them being ranked number one in the nation. The sign claimed them to be undefeated state and national champions. That would have to be the best of all-time in my opinion.

 

 

I've never heard that but if it's true I would have to agree.

As Kurt Angle would say, oh it's true, it's dang true!! Not much mention of them in the state records though. Their coach, Don Williams, is a legend at Madison Central. His program used to be the best around. It didn't hurt that he had several of the Cruse kids come through his program and all of them were good to great baseball players. At least one played at EKU, and the real good pitcher in '82 was drafted and went to the minors. Think his arm blew out though. I'll see if I can dig up anything else about them. Not being a fan of Harrison Co I can't give them credit for being the best ever. I respect the crap out of them but can't like them. :-)

I'll take your word for it.

How can you not like the Thorobreds? :lol: I agree that many do not like them, but like you, they have to respect them and their accomplishments year in and year out.

That Cov. Cath. team was very overrated!

 

How in the world would you come up with that?

 

40-3 with one of the toughest schedules in the state. Finished ranked #18 nationally.

 

They had a SS who got drafted in Timmy Grogan. They had a bigtime pitcher in the name of Rob Harmon who was one of the most dominating pitchers the state of KY has ever seen. Their catcher, Sean Ryan, went on to play baseball on the next level as well.

 

They beat Louisville Trinity who is always a solid team & Webster County, who had a highly touted pitcher named Kalen Gibson.

 

In '02 CCH strength wasn't pitching. It was solid fielding and the work that they did at the plate. I've never seen a HS team hit the ball like those guys did.

I don't know about others to even start to name a "best all time" in Kentucky but I do know that Ashland had some great baseball teams..... in the late 60's and early 70's especially.

Lafayette had some real good teams back in the late '80's and early '90's. If you want to talk dominating pitchers start with Jed Durough of Lafayetter. He basically won the state championship for Lafayette in '88 and '89. Pitched all but two games both years. I believe their coach, Don Chandler who works for the Yankees now, using him so much is the reason we have the state pitching limits now. This was a few years before Austin Kearns came through there but they were just as dominating. Anyone remember these teams and Durough?

Greenup County had a nationally-ranked team in the mid-90s, as I recall. I'm no expert on state baseball history, but I know the Harrison County team in 1997 was way above the rest of the state. It would have taken a huge upset to knock them off.

1982 Madison Central

Except when Conner beat them 1-0 that year.

Madison Central's 1982 team finished the season undefeated as state champs and I think so type of mythical national champs. The team was better than 40-0 although I do not the exact record....

They have my vote.
