I just watched the West Ky Allstars destroy the Southern Ill Allstars last Friday. The score does not indicate how lopsided the game was. I think it finished at 42-20. While we were watching this game we were checking out the program. Since we were in SIU it was done by personnel there and they had a section in which they were proud to report how they had done in the past. One of the things they had listed was the So Ill Schools in State Finals since 1980. They had 6 state championships since then. They also had 8 state runners up in that time.

This got me thinking. I decided to do a little research. I checked the titles and runners up for the schools that had players present on the West Ky Allstar team. I was doing this just for the schools that had players present, so I know there are others that have titles, like several by Fort Campbell. I was only able to go back to 1998 since that is all that I can find on KHSAA site. I was able to find that since 1998 these schools had 8 state runners up years and 5 state champions. That is only 1 short of what So Ill had since 1980.

I know just with Mayfield alone if we went back to 1980 we could add 4 more state runners up and 4 more state champions.
