[The Chief]

1) always was remember this Chief. Heston Beverly is goat and has "the goat" in his back pocket.
2) Punkin Combs tells nobody at that school who to play and neither does Heston Beverly. Coach Hoskins makes his own decision on who plays and doesn't play for PCC & he will tell you the said thing.
3) tell me which program in the mountains that hasn't had a couple down years especially when they have to beat a team like KCC has had the last 3/4 years to go to state.
4) if may memory is correct the last year Al coached hat PCC they got beat out of district by Buckhorn by 30. Is that the loss your talking about that set PCC back 20 years?

1. What does that even mean? How is he "goat"? I guess that's short for "greatest of all time". Funny to me because if my memory serves correctly, he wasn't even the best player on his high school team (a man who wears navy in the next county over held that distinction).

2. Saying those two don't have influence on who plays and who don't for Perry is about as believable as saying Billy Gillispie is a better coach than John Calipari. Seriously, the gym is called the Punkin Palace for a reason. Give me a break.

3. There's no denying that every program has down years. But in 2012-13, Perry dominated all season long and choked away the regional final and last year, had home-court advantage yet still lost, with arguably more talent than KCC both seasons.

4. No, I clearly said 2012 when referring to the Buckhorn loss. You know, the year Perry was rated number four in the state with a major D1 prospect and fans booking their rooms in Lexington when a bunch of mountain boys from the "other" county school came to Hyden and shot their dreams all to pieces. Losing Al in 2007 hurt them a ton but they thought they had finally recovered, only to have their dream season ended in the first round by a bunch of kids who Perry didn't think were good enough for them. I know PCC fans who still can't get over that loss.
