Has a 15th region team ever won state or come close to it?

Paintsville won the Championship in 1996. They were runner up in 1998 I believe. And in the final four in 1997 I think.

yeah i think thats right Pupaw...didnt Virgie maybe win in when they were a high school?

I don't think they won but I'm pretty sure Virgie came very close with Todd May.

Inez won the state in 1941 and 1954, and finished 2nd in 1937.

Beaten in the first round of the Sweet 16 by eventual runner-up North Hardin when may was a senior. i was there.

I think Virgie & Todd May were beaten in the quarterfinals or semifinals once. I think maybe by Mason County but not for sure.

Allen Central went in 1994 (Freedom Hall). They defeated a team from SHelby County in the first round. They lost to Louisville Fairdale in the second round.
