Failing to get out of a region that has produced the state champion 8 of those 10 years, Highlands and CovCath, is nothing to hang your head about, neither is the state-semi loss to state champ CCH in 2006. What is Southwestern's excuse? I mean they can't even hang with a team that JC has defeated 5 of the last 6 games even after refusing to play unless they can have the home field advantage each of those years.

JC was also in the a very tough district with Russell and Belfry from 1978 to 1986. That 3 team district produced 4 teams to play in the 3A title game in a 8 year span of time. Keep in mind back then only one team went to the playoffs and there was only 4 classes! That 1978 Russell team won the 3A title and the 1979 Belfry team was 3A runner-up, throw in the 85' and 86' Belfry 3A runner-up teams too. That 1978 Russell team didn't exactly blow JC off the field in a game I remember very well, Russell beat a very game JC team 14 to 0. For a program as new to football as JC was in the late 70's and early 80's JC more than held there own. The great 1985 Belfry team beat JC 28 to 14 in another game I remember well, had a Johnson County kid named Joey Couch not went to Paintsville that game could have easily been different!
