Middlesboro is Corbin's biggest rival, at least in my opinion. South Laurel is Corbin's biggest rival all across the board in athletics, but not at the top in football.

For Williamsburg it has to be Lynn Camp. These two really despise each other. Pineville would be a very close second.

All sports or just football?

 

All sports. I don't think there is a game on the schedule that the good guys want to win more than the Highlands game.

Agreed. I'd put the Beechwood rivalry in second place to the Highlands rivalry.

 

Having grown up in Fort Mitchell playing Spartan and backyard football with the same guys I played on the field against at Beechwood in my high school days, I can tell you that the Cov Cath/Beechwood game (to us, at least) was just really for bragging rights around town. Don't get me wrong, there was a definite sentiment of wanting to beat the other team, but the intense rivalry aspect just wasn't the same as it was against those in The Land Of Cake.

Duh. RYF baby!!!:ylsuper:

 

That was a fun rivalry.

I wonder if Johnson Central isn't becoming our biggest rival -- at least, on the statewide level.

 

I'm still not convinced that JC isn't just having a Simon Kenton moment and riding the back of an outstanding player before fading back into the woodwork. Give me a few good "post-Jude" seasons, then we'll talk.

Double post ...

Johnson Central fielded a couple of pretty good teams before anyone had heard of Jude.

2006 Johnson Central went 13-1 and lost to the State Champion in the Semi-Finals.

2007 Johnson Central went 10-3 and lost in the Regional Championship game.
