[Texans_99]

No offense to any Pikeville fan on here. But I don’t think that team was anywhere near being nationally ranked. Lit rankings had them at #12 in the state. A great KY High school football team and one of the best ever in EKY. But to say they had National ranking is incorrect. Here’s USA Today’s poll from that year.
