"JKWON33" Wrote:No heckling, but I didn't see an applause out of anyone from Pike Central. How big was that team, I thought they were pretty big when I was little, but they are still big today. I never knew how tall Mike Short actually was. He just looked small compared to the rest of the boys, he's probably about 6'1. Todd Tackett was a no show, some of the players are working in California according to Mr. Williams, is that him or is he still in the Lexington area?

What is Todd Tackett up to now the last I heard anything about him was when he was playing at UK.
#33
who all was on this state championship team
#34
I reckon he had knee surgery down at UK, and wasn't getting the pt that he thought he should and decided to put down the round ball. I heard he tried to make it to the bigs in baseball, I always thought that was his better sport. Someone told me a while ago he was selling cars.
#35
Craig Ratliff was one of the more underrated players on that team. I played against him when he was at Pikeville College and he was a hand full.
#36
He had been out of basketball for almost 4 years when he played at PC, just imagine if he would've went and played ball at UNC Greensboro out of high school instead of going to the pros in baseball.

i was sitting on the visitors side and wittnessed several PCC fans applaudind, not just the halftime intros, but also when, they were mentioned just befor the start of the game, several applauded, and even when miss jarrell gave her performance of the National Anthem, they showed great support!!!, I was impressed with the way PCC fans behaved, during everything!!! It showed to me that they have tremendous class!!! But I was not surprised!!!Very good people and program!
#38
It sure was good to see some of the greatest players to ever play in the 15th region all together again. I think I heard someone say that Todd Tackett was working at the Toyota place in Lexington selling cars. I may be wrong on that but I think that is what someone once said.
#39
Yeah, he is selling cars in Lexington. I did hear that his dad bought a coal mine in EKY and that Todd was going to be overseeing it. Not sure how true that is.
