Yes Colorado for 1 season then transferred to WVU

OK Handed, but the team JC was handing it to was as far as you can get from being highly ranked. The next season had the soon to be 90 state champs riding. The bench.

That was Chris Deaton's sophmore year at JC. JC had a pretty good team that year but the coaching Staff's eyes were bigger than there belly, what I mean by that is they played ridiculouly hard schedule if I remember right they played Belfry, Prestonburg and Paintsville 3 teams that played in state title games the year before and Cumberland who had Fred Maggard and played in the Class A title game that year plus a good Clay Co. team that nearly beat the Great 86' Belfry team in the playoffs that year, then throw in a ArchBishop Alter Ohio team that had former Steeler Jeff Graham at QB. add in tradition rich Ashland, Russell and Breathitt Co in the mix. JC finished 4-7 or something like that but that was one of the top 3 teams in JC histroy before Matney. Heck they had only been playing football for 10 or 12 years at that point in time, so beating Ashland was a big, big deal and honestly it still is.
