King of the Bluegrass

Any sport.

I am presently working on a project with the Frazier Museum that will be opening later in the year. They have ask me to help them with a list of the biggest rivalries in high school sports in Kentucky....like Male vs Manual. The history of the "good old fashion, down to earth clean hate" is important. New rivalries are also important. As a long time follower of high school sports, I have given them a few names but we would like to expand our list. It is my understanding that they will interview people and possibly display uniforms from those schools. Please list those teams that just "make you sick" when you lose. Please give some history of this rivalry. (I presently have an exhibit at the Frazier Museum featuring my ABA Kentucky Colonels items)

They have been invited and we have always considered WC to be one of the great programs in the state...and they have had outstanding coaches. Coach Unseld is an unbelievable coach and a better person.

Sorry, 19 State Champs 14 Runners Up

GRC (George Rogers Clark) becomes the 33rd team that played in the King of the Bluegrass in the 40 year history and went on to win the KHSAA State Championship. In all, 64 teams, counting Kentucky, have gone on to win their State Titles after attending the King of the Bluegrass. GRC...you certainly deserved to cut down the nets in Rupp Arena. Best swishes to all coaches, players and GRC fans. We'll see you next year in the KOB!

Our prayers go out to all those areas effected by the tornado, their community, school, and students. I exchanged text with Lyon County basketball coach Perry this morning. Below is his message. It's bad down this way coach. Our home was spared but our medical clinic got destroyed. The subdivision across the street from it got wiped off map. We have so many families on our team we are still trying to make a contact with to see if ok but their homes are ravaged. It's bad. Thank you for thinking of us. May God be with you.

Sorry to say, but after 39 successful years we are forced to cancel the 2020 Gardner Law King of the Bluegrass. See you in December 2021.

As of today we are planning a 2020 Gardner Law King of the Bluegrass. It may look a little different...but we are working on several options.

Ashland was invited.

The coach, Ted Hornback, became an assistant coach under Ed Diddle at WKU. He later became AD.

Marshall Coiunty scored 5 points in the second half...and 0 in the fourth quarter in the City of Plams tournament.
