there was 14 overall that stuck together for four years from 2003 to 2006 that graduated in the spring of 2007. This class at Rockcastle was statistically the last team to make a good run in November, some of the former Rockets are doing well since leaving the grid-iron on the education level and Brad Durham is still kicking alive on the lines at UK. Here are the senior leaders from that team:

#1 Anthony Cook
#2 Lynn Miracle
#3 Josh Garrison
#17 Izak McQueary
#23 Dusty Miller
#29 Josh Renner
#38 Adam Hensley
#50 Donavon Pigg
#52 Billy Hines
#53 Adam Mink
#71 Robbie Carosello
#73 David Robbins
#74 Brad Durham
#81 Shawn Childress

This team had 9 seniors out of 14 to make academic all-state status.
This team had 3 seniors out of 14 to letter all 4 years.
This team had 2 seniors out of 14 to appear in a state all-star game.
This team was the last to defeat Bell County twice in a season.
This team ranked in every category of stats in 2006 as a team besides receiving and passing out of the top 25 in Class AAA.
This team was the last winning team under Coach Tom Larkey at Rockcastle.
This team was the last team under the regular form of Class A to Class AAAA.

Where are they now?

I was confused when I saw the title, opened it and saw the names mentioned. I was thinking about my graduatings class but I forgot that the football class would have been 2005.

This class had some of the greatest linemen in Rockcastle history. Dusty Miller is one of the 4 best running backs I have ever seen. Shawn was a good WR. #1 is #1 in the hearts of many Rocket fans and players.
