[Live Maroon]

I apologize if someone has already started a thread for this week's Phelps - Pikeville game, but this will be a special night and I wanted to get the word out to all Pikeville fans so that we can have a big crowd Friday night. First off, it's Senior night, so please come out and support them. But we're also having a special recognition ceremony for two of Pikeville's all-time greatest teams. The 1972 team (40th anniversary), which was the first Pikeville football team to compete for a State Title. They were the first to make the playoffs, first to win a playoff game, and made it all the way to old Stoll Field, UK's stadium prior to Commonwealth. Great players like Chuck Huffman, Ray Haley, Jimmy Newsome, Mike Ely, Denis Ratliff, Ronnie Honaker, Eugene Johnson, Ikey Ritchie, Steve Herring, Kevin McAnallen, Steve Shockey (sadly I listed those without having to look at any reference material). Also, the 25th anniversary of the 1987 State Champions. Lot of special presentations & gifts at halftime, free dinner pregame for the players and families, a special 42-page insert inside the game program with photos and articles from these two special teams. Pikeville fans, lets honor our great history by coming out and showing these former players that we're proud of the way they represented the Maroon and White!
