2001: Hoptown beats BG in the playoffs. Dixie Jones Hoptown LB Coach Rusty Goble Hoptown WR coach.

 

2002: Hoptown beats BG in the playoffs. Dixie Jones Hoptown LB Coach Rusty Goble Hoptown WR coach. (2002 Jones actually called more of the defense and it was his gameplan that held Christian Co.'s high powerd offense to 7 points that year.

 

2003: Hoptown beats an undefeated BG team on the road in the playoffs. Dixie Jones Hoptown LB coach Rusty Goble Hoptown WR coach. (Rusty Goble called the play on the final drive when Curtis Pulley connected with Cody Adams in the endzone for the game winner. Craig Clayton was coaching from upstairs and took Goble's advice. Clayton said that himself.)

 

2004: Madisonville goes on the road and defeats an undefeated BG team. Dixie Jones Head Coach/Defensive Coordinator Rusty Goble Offensive Coordinator.

 

2005: BG goes on the road and beats Hopkinsville. Dixie Jones Head Coach/Defensive Coordinator Rusty Goble Offensive Coordinator.

 

Now before people start hollering they were just assistants that doesn't count. It means that Jones and Goble were apart of beating BG 4 times in the last 5 years. Plus I know for a fact that Craig Clayton gave his assistant coaches more responsibility starting in 2001 because of the type of coaches he had on his staff. In fact the 1st week or 2 of practice Clayton was pretty much a no show and if he did show he observed and let his assistants run practice. That was part of Clayton's philosophy not cracking the whip at the beginning of the race. In 2004 Clayton had to spend more time with the WR's and Steve Lovelace had to be both the LB and DB coach because of the departures of Jones and Goble.

If i'm not mistaken, I believe Rusty Goble and Dixie Jones were both assistants at Christian Co in 99 when they lost to BG 47-7 and also in 2000 when they lost to BG 20-9.

Goble was a 1st year Asst. in 1999 and Jones became the Defensive Coordinator in 2000. They played BG the 2nd game of the year in both those years. I remember CCHS playing a lot of freshmen and sophomores both those years. In 1999 Adrian Allen was their best player and was a freshmen. Both those seasons County played anywhere from 5-10 Freshmen a game. Mike Whiter' success in 2002 and 2003 came with those 99 and 2000 freshmen classes.
