Franklin Simpson 14 Johnson Central 12 (4A State Championship)
#62
Pulp Fiction Wrote:These past four seasons are something JC fans will remember as long as time endures and all future teams will be compared to.

The senior class ends their career with a 51-8 overall record (only 14 games were played in 2015).
12-2; 14-1; 12-3; 13-2.
3 district championships.
4 regional championships.
4 semi-state championships.
3 4A state runners-up.
1 4A state championship.


Four of the eight losses came against teams that won the state championship in their respective class.
Belfry - 3 (2015 & 2016 (5 points) won the 3A state finals those years).
Franklin-Simpson - 2 (2017 & 2018 (2 points) 4A state finals).
Capital, WV. - 1 (7 points).
South Warren - 1 (2015 4A state finals).
Ashland - 1 (3 points).

Only two losses at home out of thirty two games by a total of twelve points. A 30-2 home record has to be one of the best W/L records in the state the past four seasons.



The JC family lost a super-fan before our second game this year. "Big" Ben Johnson came to the first game in a wheelchair, but passed away a few days later. That week, a football game was more than a football game. The crowd from both teams were cheering for #3 when he ran it to the end zone for the first time that night. The song Dixieland Delight by Alabama will always remind me of this season.



The 2019 season started Sunday. There's no reason the next four years can't be just as good if not better.


Coach Matney has really built a powerhouse in Paintsville. The JC Football Family has much to be proud of. July will be here before you know it :biggrin:
