And the 4th best 1a Champion of the modern era is

The 2008 Beechwood Tigers with 41 points - This Tiger team was a load to handle for anyone. They squeaked by a scrappy, hard hitting Hazard team in the finals by a score of 14-7. Despite the close score in the title game, they still had an average margin of victory in the playoffs of 30.75. The lone loss on the year was a 31-20 at the hands of 2As State runnerup NCC. During the season, the Tigers manhandled an 11-2 2A Prestonsburg team 43-14, always powerful Cov Catholic 35-21 and pitched 5 shutouts on the season, allowing less than 10 points in 10 of it's 15 games on the season. They only allowed 124 points on the season to rank as one of the better defensive teams of all the other 16 contenders... An outstanding team and very deservant of this lofty ranking..

And the 3rd best 1a Champion of the modern era is

The 03 Danville Admirals with 37 points - This Admiral team was trully special, ending the season with a stellar 14-1 record, barely breaking a sweat in the Championship, a 42-7 manhandling of an outstanding Beechwood team. This was a very complete team, both offensively and defensively, scoring 674 points and only allowing 158. During the regular season, they opened up by defeating 4a Dupont Manual 22-7, the same Manual team that upset Trinity a few weeks later and also played Male and St X closer than they did the Ads. They also defeated perennial power Highlands 26-25 on the road with there only setback a 45-26 loss to crosstown juggernaut Boyle Co, who just happened to be on one of the alltime great runs in KHSAA football history. The also defeated a very strong Mayfield team 25-3 in the semis... Trully one of the great champions and very deservant of this #3 ranking...

And the 2nd best 1a Champion of the modern era is

The 1998 Middlesboro Yellowjackets with 32 points - This Jacket team was stacked and loaded for bear and the only team on the list to rank in the upper echolon in every category. They beat you with offense, defense, special teams, field position, you name it, but, one thing for certain, they were going to beat you. This Jacket team defeated a previously undefeated and outstanding Mayfield team in the finals by a score of 27-6. The week before, they dethroned another juggernaut undefeated 2-time champion Beechwood team 29-13, so, there road to the championship was certainly not an easy one. During the season, they also defeated 2a semi-finalist Breathitt Co 46-24 in the Hays Chevy Bowl and an 11-2 2a ranked Corbin team 45-25. There lone defeat came at the hands of crosstown rival and powerhouse 3a Bell Co by a 21-18 score. In the region finals, they put up 78 points against a solid Pikeville team, who came into the game at 10-2... This was a tremendous team and very deservant to be at #2..

And the winner af the Best of the Best Challenge and #1 1a State Champion of the modern era is

The 2010 Mayfield Cardinals with 28 points - Talk about a loaded and dominant team, this was it if you ever saw one. This team had 11 of its 15 games with a running clock, meaning they led by 35 points or more. Despite playing there JV for at least 1 or 2 qtrs a game, they were still the most prolific scoring team in this era scoring 737 points on the season. They had speed and playmakers everywhere and a QB who could shred defenses to pieces with his arm and once they got a lead, they could play power football with the best of them. They defeated a solid Hazard team 47-6 in the finals and outscored there opposition by 39.75 points in the playoffs. Outside a 23-20 win over archrival Paducah Tilghman, no other team came closer than 20 points of this dynamic squad. They also pitched 3 shutouts and held 8 of the 15 opponents to under 10 points. Would have been more had they kept there varsity on the field in the 3rd and 4th quarters... There's alot of great teams on this list but it'd be extremely hard to pick one any more deservant than this bunch of Cardinals..

LCA kill my picks 4 out of 5 ain't bad...What's was I thinking. :Cheerlead

You are missing the grade though. If you played a game between 02 & 10, 10 would win but it would be by no more than a touchdown. The elements that you are missing is the heart and also how they match up. I still say the best defense was 02. The best offense I have ever seen, by far in either 1a or 2a was the 10 team.

I smoke you on picking the best 5 Mysonis55 moke:

Well, not if you really look at who was the best and not just numbers. First of all the 2002 lost numbers in 2 different categories because they played very stiff out of state competition in two games. They were both against much bigger schools with very good records. The other reason is they were still in the old big bodies up front grind it out football. Let me tell you though they had some serious weapons. A rb/cb that started 3 years at Murray St. An Off lineman that was nationally recruited and settled on UK. A lb that played for Murray St. Several others that either had offers or played college ball. It was the biggest and very athletic line that I remember. A fb that would go out of his way on a long run just to run over a defender. A wr that was over 6' and had great vertical and speed. A tight end that could block or catch any ball if needed and was fast. If you put this team in the spread they would have been scary good at lighting up the board.

Hazard in 2011 killed a 29-0 winning streak..

55, You can talk heart all you want but you're only measuring the teams heart that you know. I guarantee you all 16 of these teams had exactly the type players that you described about the 02 team. Those intangibles are what made them champions. Truthfully, I thought the 09 LCA team was better than what they came out here. The 05 NCC team was, too, strickly from the look test, but, the overall numbers didn't support that. With that said, I still think these #s are a better indicator than just blind opinions. I doubt anyone knows the ins and outs of everyone of these teams, just there own.

While in the case of the 02 Mayfield team, adding Milans and Altoffs records may have made there nondistrict opponents records better and ranked that category a little higher, I don't think it would have pushed them up that many spots. The same could be said about several of the teams. One of Beechwoods teams didn't get the benefit of Irontons record, for example. Plus, those Beechwood teams non district opponents records didn't look as good as some others in some cases because teams like Cov Catholic would have a 5-5 record because they were playing teams like Moeller, Elder, etc. Some of those teams would have been 10-2 or so had they just played instate competition. So, it affected others, not just Mayfield.

The results are in on the statistical comparison vs the BGPRival pickers:

1st Place - Smashmouth47 - He picked 4 of the Top 5 teams and was only off by a total of 4 spots..
