They were called Du Pont Manual as I recall. I had the pleasure of playing HS ball for an assistant coach who came from that program. A Top-notch guy.

As I recall they had a nationally ranked squad back in the 1950s. I think they deserve consideration among the Cadillac foot ball teams.

Maybe I Missed something, but what about these guys? This is from Wikipedia: "PTHS has won state titles in 1973, 1985, and 2009 with runner-up finishes in 1980, 1987–1989, and 1992. The football program has produced two Kentucky Mr. Football award winners, Kurt Barber in 1987 and Billy Jack Haskins in 1992. During the 2007 season, Tilghman won its 700th football game, beating Webster County 49-21 to become just the fourth team in Kentucky to reach this mark. Tilghman has fielded a football team since 1904,[1] with an overall record of 704-286-25 entering the 2009 season.[1] In the 2009 season,they won the AAA State Championship against the Somerset Briar Jumpers 21-0. They run a play called the doom dive."

I would probably slip Boone County in there somewhere. No state championships but they have had some consistently good teams over the years.

Scott County has been tough for years.

I would think that if you have an up and coming program that you would want to play the best teams available in order to improve. That said, if you have an average or sub-par program, you probably are not going to be able to get Trinity on your schedule because you are not good enough, and you will not improve by getting beat 70-0.

Congrats! UT Chattanooga has had a powerhouse program for decades. Great school and great honor. Good luck!
