Knott will never catch Perry in regional titles buddy. I meant that Perry would beat Hazard again for the second time this season. Do I really have to bring up the embarrassing loss Perry handed Knott earlier this year where Knott put up 0 points in the first quarter?



:Thumbs:

That's a pretty good question.

I wouldn't have any idea which school has the most titles.
Knott Central's been around a lot longer than Perry Central, formed from combinding Carr Creek, Hindman, and Knott County High in 1975 (of which 2 of those schools had won state championships back in the day). They won a bunch of regions right after they consolidated with some powerful teams led by Herbie Stamper, who later starred for Morehead State.
I know they won in 1982 as well because they had a huge upset of a great Breathitt County team who had beaten them by around 30 points 3 times that year. That was the team their present coach, B.B. King, played on. Then they made a great showing in the state tournament that year nearly knocking off eventual state champion Simon Kenton in the first round (which makes one wonder how well Breathitt would have done in the state tournament in '82--they were absolutely loaded that year and people who remember still discuss how in the world they lost the regional championship that year).

I think KCC won a couple more regions in the 1980's but I'm not completely sure. Then they won a few in the early 1990's. My guess is they've won around 7 or 8 titles. Maybe someone from KCC can help us out here.
