    Seems like there were quite a few conflicting reports on exactly how he performed in the scrimmage. Hopefully we will see him get some time on Saturday finally.

    Many conflicting reports. Have heard since my earlier post that Transy Coach Lane said he looked good and had several threes. Hope he gets his opportunity Saturday.

  2. Spring of 1997 saw torrential rains and devastating flooding on the Licking River and Ohio River, among other parts of Kentucky. According to the National Weather Service 92 counties in Kentucky were declared disaster areas. Tens of thousands of people were evacuated from their homes, with total damage across the region around $400,000,000. The Ohio River rose to the highest levels since March of 1964. Tragically, 19 deaths occurred in Kentucky; 9 were people who attempted to cross flooded roadways.

     

    The Flood of 1997

     

    Not nearly as important, but something I've never heard discussed on BGP, was the conclusion of the 37th District tournament. Played at Harrison County, the game was called at halftime due to rising waters in the area. Officials and administrators decided to use a coin flip to determine the winner, with Bourbon County getting the lucky landing.

     

    The luck wouldn't last, however, as Bourbon County lost to Fleming County in the first round of the region. Flooded Harrison County, losers of the coin flip, would go on to win the 10th Region crown and beat Apollo in the state tournament at Rupp Arena before bowing to Paintsville in the quarterfinals.

    Does anyone recall this game? Even with flooding and dangerous conditions, I can't believe anyone would be happy with a coin flip to determine a champion.

     

    Conditions and scheduling dictated the coin flip.
