Went back and looked and though they were Class A size and playing AA, Mayfield was ranked number 1 in all classes in 1978.

Lit rankings, not tat they are the end all, showed the Pikeville team in '87 as 12th overall regardless of class.

Pikeville was 7th overall in Lit in 1988.

That was before the playoffs started. Pikeville dismantled the #3, 4, 5 and 9th ranked teams in the 1A playoffs and all the teams in front of them in the Litratings had lost games or lost in the playoffs. Pikeville finished as the only undefeated team in the state and most people at the finals thought they were better than the other champs (all who had lost in the regular season) Shelby Co., Covington Catholic and Danville. If the Litratings would have released their ratings after the season was over Pikeville probably would have been #1 and certainly no worse than 2nd or 3rd.

For the sake of comparison, Mayfied was ranked #18 in all classes at the end of the 2010 regular season according to that site.
