[Pulp Fiction]

Johnson Central had some of the lowest numbers in school history in '01, '02 & '03, but no seasons or games were missed. Rumor & innuendo was that the football program was going to be cancelled and the football field was going to be turned in to a parking lot if something didn't change by the 2006 season. Thank God for changes.

2001: 2-8
2002: 2-8
2003: 1-9

(Rumored season for the program to be cancelled)
2006: 13-1; 3A State semi-finalist.

Fast forward ten seasons to 2016 & JC brings home the 4A state football championship.

Every situation is different. What's going on with Trimble County is bad for the players, the students and the community that supports them. Hopefully they can field a team and be able to play at least some game this season and build towards the next year.
Johnson County finally made some much-needed changes in the BOE and got it together with a new superintendent (not sure of the year) and hired coach Matney after the 2003 season. The team that went 1-9 in '02 went 7-3 in '03.
