[Pulp Fiction]

1999 (15-0) & 2000 (15-0) - 2A
2001 (15-0), 2002 (13-2) & 2003 (15-0) - 3A
In Boyle County's heyday... the Rebels had an incredible 73-2 record and won five consecutive state football championships.


During that same time frame..... specifically 2001, 2002 & 2003.... JC went 5-25 and had zero playoff games.


My point is with the right coaches and support in place, a programs success can be maintained & just because your team doesn't win state championships year-in and year-out doesn't mean that your program is doomed forever.

Matney has talked about coming to watch JC play on a Saturday before he took the job. The game was against Rowan County, the Saturday after the Sept. 11th attacks. There might have been forty people in the stands for both teams..... and you guessed it, I was one of the forty. Eighteen years later, JC sells the most amount of tickets and has a top 5 attendance record for the class 4A game where people had to drive about two hours to get there.
