Jim Schue Posted March 14, 2010 Posted March 14, 2010 Posted a similar thread in the girls' hoops forum, as Mercy achieved this feat this year. How many times has this been done on the boys' side?
DragonFire Posted March 14, 2010 Posted March 14, 2010 I remember a discussion about it a year or two ago, and someone said they thought Edmonson County in 1976 might have been the last one to accomplish it.
The Scribe Posted March 14, 2010 Posted March 14, 2010 Hopkinsville in 1985. Lost to Christian County in the district finals. Beat them in the region finals.
Lakers22 Posted March 14, 2010 Posted March 14, 2010 The best team in the history of Ky high school basketball lost in the finals of the district. 79 lafayette with minniefield, johnson, wilson, minniefield, rose and others lost to Melvin Turpin in the district (Bryan Station)
iamapt Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 (edited) DragonFire is right about Edmondson County. Had a couple of players sick and Glasgow beat them. They would go on to win the state championship and prevented the tournament from changing to multiple classes which was the hot subject at the time. After they won it was a consensus, this is a unique and wonderful tournament, leave it alone. Edited March 15, 2010 by iamapt incomplete
Snappy502 Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 A little side note to 79 Lafayette: after losing the district title game Generals coach Jock Sutherland busted up the runner-up trophy in the locker room and told the players a loser would get on the floor to pick pieces up of a loser's trophy. Motivation that must have worked!
