Does anyone know who Pikeville Beat in 1955 State Championship game.

[PHSFAN]

Pikeville has 3 state titles......1987, 1988, and 1989. I have never heard of them winning in the 50s.

KHSAA doesn't have any records of state titles before 1959.

We did win one in 55 there is a plack in the locker room of the 55 state champion team.

It's "mythical." Means there wasn't an actual GAME between any two teams to determine the champion. Probably was coined "champion" by one of the statewide newspapers that year.

There's probably three or four other HS's that could claim the title that year due to another "authority" asserting they were the best team in the state that year.

Sounds like a crazy way of doing things, doesn't it?

Oops; that's not far off how the NCAA does it for its football champion!

Pikeville was named state champions by the Associated Press in 1955.

[PantherBlitz42]

Pikeville was state champions in 55'

[liveMAROON]

correct me if im wrong but i belive they were undefeated that year and we here at pikeville consider it an honorary State championship

[Fletch]

Three of the last four posts are correct, although 24/7 is on the money. The C-J named state champions based on rankings and the Litkenhous formula.

If i'm not mistaken Pikeville was the Mythical State Champion in 1954 as well!
