Final.

I have to correct something I heard repeatedly all week and I blame on terrible record keeping by the KHSAA. Bowling Green did not just complete their first undefeated season, it was their second. They went undefeated in 1995. This is not reflected on the KHSAA records for some reason, even though they have it documented that they have a 26 game win streak (of which they have two in their history).

 

I felt like I was taking crazy pills every time I heard it said on the broadcasts.

I remember them being undefeated that year; that was the year they beat Highlands wasn't it? If I remember right, that game was also the same night of the horrible accident involving Artie Steinmetz of Cov Cath.

Congratulations on a very impressive outing to the Purples and on winning state in your respective class.

I remember them being undefeated that year; that was the year they beat Highlands wasn't it? If I remember right, that game was also the same night of the horrible accident involving Artie Steinmatz of Cov Cath.

 

It was the year they beat Highlands, the only other year they won the state title. That's why I'd think they'd have managed to figure it out - you'd think they'd look at some details of the only other year the Purples won the state championship.

 

The Steinmetz accident actually took place a few years later, in 1998.

Congrats to BG.

Congratulations Bowling Green!!

Wow, can't believe I forgot about Steinmetz's accident being at that time. Should have thought more before saying that, I think Steinmetz was in the c/o '96 and had already been at UK for a while when it happened.

Congrats to BG. Great program and great win.

BGHS was unstoppable tonight. Sr RB KJ Cofer and Sr QB Scooter Hollis combined for three scoring plays of 70 yards or more. Cofer scored three touchdowns. The defense was nothing short of ferocious. The Purples set a new school scoring record of 738 points with only one player scoring more than 100 points on the season (yeah, you read that right!).

 

Say what you will about the Greenwood game (who played an excellent game in the playoffs against us), the Purples got better and better throughout the playoffs after that. Watch all the game films you want. Everybody has an opinion. Here's mine: heart can overcome a lot of shortcomings, and the Purples have it to spare!

 

We in Purple Nation acknowledge all of the well wishes from many people throughout the Commonwealth in the relentless drive toward the 5A title this year. Some came from unexpected sources, but they were appreciated nevertheless. Thanx so much...it meant a lot to the guys and no doubt spurred them on to great heights late in the playoffs against some of the strongest teams in the Commonwealth. Congratulations to Anderson County on a fine season this year, and continued success in the future. Congratulations to all of the other state champions in 2011.

 

It is ALWAYS a great day to be a Purple! Uh-oh...I feel a BIG dance coming on...!!!

:dancingpa:dancingpa:dancingpa:dancingpa

 

 

PS: will somebody get rid of the one I started...I didn't see this one already started. Thanx!

We had the two unbeaten seasons during the playoff era. We also had two unbeaten seasons long before those, but they were not perfect seasons because they involved ties. The first came in 1924 (7-0-1) and the second one came in 1935 (8-0-2), which earned the Purples the Western KY Conference championship.

 

Way to go Purples, true people eaters! Congrats PH!

Congrats BG Purples on a great win and season. Your team looked very determined tonight.

Many thanx for stopping by, Mean Bird. Your observation and congratulations are greatly appreciated! It was very ironic that both of Big Blue's losses this year were by 28 pts (Warren Central 34-6 in Week One), and your 'Birds fought off a determined bunch of Wildcats. Congratulations on #21 for you all!

 

I was researching past championship games earlier. Only three teams ever piled up more points than BGHS's 55 last night (two were in the same game): Highlands had 56 against Waggener in 1998, Trinity had 59 against Male's 56 in the same game in 2002.

 

The win margin tied the record set originally by Breathitt County against Corbin (52-0) in 2002.

 

Whew!!!:eek:
