It very well could have been Hoot, I really don't remember that part.

But, for what it's worth, Johnson Central was really not that much different than most county schools in eastern Kentucky at that time. For many years it was usually only the city schools that served as their respective county seats that fielded football teams....Consolidation is the thing that can be attributed to football being what it is now in the mountains. Perhaps there were some, but I cant think of one single county school system that ever had a football team until the early to late 70's in eastern Kentucky.

I'll have to disagree with that statement. Floyd County had not only Prestonsburg but Wheelwright as far back as I can remember. (Wheelwright is now part of South Floyd.) Pike County had Belfry, Millard, Elkhorn City, at least 2 other schools that are now part of Pike County Central and maybe another team or two many years ago. Perry County had M. C. Napier and maybe another one or two. And Letcher County had Jenkins and Whitesburg. And that's just what I can think of right now. There may have been as many if not more county schools playing football in this area back then than city schools or county schools located in the county seat. Pike County skewed those numbers.
