This is too cool that 3 of the top ten are from KY! I would think that Manual would have to be close to cracking the top ten.

The Massillon-McKinley rivalry is one of the most intense in the nation. Two top-knotch programs just 7 or 8 miles apart!

Nice.

Wow! What a great accomplishment for our program. A small town rich in football heritage. Cardinal pride NEVER dies! Congrats to Male and Highlands as well.

It's probably because there isn't the number of talented teams like in some other states. You have your top programs in KY then it falls off dramatically.

Mayfield is like the Jefferson's "Were Movin on Up" :laugh:

Congrats to Mayfield! That list in the original post sure looks familiar!

LOL! I may have to pull a Herman Cain on ya!

Also I would think that St.X would be darn close to being on the list. I know they have been playing football since at least the early 1920s(?)

According to the KHSAA record book St. X started the season with the sixth most wins in Kentucky with 700. In addition to Highlands, Male, and Mayfield, they are also behind Paducah Tilgman and Danville.

I was suprised to not see any TX or FL teams on the list. However, the reasons for that is probably what you already mentioned.

Played in the same conference with them in high school. Nobody hit harder than those two schools!

Also interesting there are 3 KY teams in the top 10.

The Tigers played their first game in a rented vacant lot called Lutz Park against Jeffersonville on October 13, 1917. They emerged with an 18-0 victory. St. X. finished a 5-game season with a 2-3 record. They then went two years (1918 & 1919) without fielding a team, before resuming competition in 1920, and have played continuously ever since. As of right now (11/9/11), the Tigers have an all-time total of 707 victories, 269 losses and 20 ties.
