IMO.....It would have to be Belfry. They started playing football in 1927.

Ashland has a very proud tradition. We have 11 state championships ('28, '29, '30, '31, '32, '35, '42, '58, '67, '75, '90), 9 region championships, and 20 district championships. Many of the state championships came in the '20s and '30s. Ashland is the 9th all-time winningest school in Kentucky with 583 all-time victories according to the KHSAA. We also had 6 consecutive undefeated seasons from '26-'31 with a record of 57-0-4. We are also 7th all-time with 6 total undefeated seasons (no ties allowed). We are 7th all-time with 35 consecutive wins from '29-'31. We have the single season best average for points per game with 59.1 points per game over a 10 game schedule in '30. We are 4th all-time in rushing yards in a season 5,302 in '90. We are 3rd all-time in rushing yards per game in a season with 398.0 yards per game in '97. We hold 3rd-5th place all-time for total points allowed in a season allowing 2,6, and 6 in '27,'30, and '35 respectively.

That is a pretty strong history and tradition.

Pikeville has a good football tradition. I dont know their exact numbers of state,regional and district championships. Im sure someone on here does. But they have been a winning program for as log as I can remember and they take great pride in continuing thier winning traditon.

Pikeville, and Belfry are the two that come to mink when I think about traditional football in the mountains.

Very nice statistics for the Tomcats. Its obvious they are rich in football tradition as well.

Paintsville has always been one of the most tradition rich schools in all aspects.

Actually Ashland has two state championships...'67, and '90.
According to the KHSAA web site Ashland was runner-up in '75 to St X.
The KHSAA didn't sanction state championships until 1959.
I agree Ashland is a traditional power though.
I'll also include Pikeville(playing since 1917)-3 state championships and Belfry-2 state titles..

The '75 state championship was an at large state championship. Until '76, the rest of the state played for a state championship in 4A and then Louisville would have their own playoff to determine the Louisville state championship. Those 2 teams would meet and have a combined state championship. I think it's kind of odd myself, but it is still considered a type of state championship.

I know the history.
I was there.
The "At Large" champion is not the state champion as far as the KHSAA is concerned. It's kind of like some schools that lay claim to a state championship during the days before a championship playoff because they were undefeated.
