Tough question to answer.

I would say that if your team has won a state title, it would have to be the first one. So I will go with Boyle defeating Glasgow in the '99 AA title game and finishing 15-0. (starting the 47 game win streak)

But in reflection, Boyle beating Lex Cath 2 weeks before was really the State Title game. (for 2 years the only losses Lex Cath had were to Boyle)

Still further back you would have to say the 12-0 win over Danville in the AA playoffs of '96. The Rebels beat the Ads for the first time since '79 and then edged Madison Southern by one point before bowing to Breathitt 12-7 in the state semi-finals.

There were big wins over #1 teams in the 70's that stand out:

1976 win over Harrodsburg 21-14 when Pioneers were #1 in Class A.

1977 win over Danville 14-7 when the Ads were #1 in Class AAA going into the last week of the regular season when Boyle upset them.

Both wins and others vs. Henry Clay, Somerset, Bardstown among those years were highlights.

Tough call. :Thumbs:

The 96 win over Danville was one to remember for alot of Boyle fans. I was gone for a few year in the NAVY and I remeber a buddy of mine calling and telling me and I couldn't think of the last time we beat them. I know Boyle has been up over Danville the last few years as Danville was for so many in the 80s and 90s but its always a good game and look forward to it every year. I know back in the day you could forget each teams records on that night and everyone would play as if it was a "One Game Season". GO REBEL'S!!!
