Holcomb also had a win over Haywood in 1997 41-6 seems like was the score. It was 1st game of season in the Honey Bowl at Breathitt.
I remember I was on that team.

That would make Holcomb vs Haywood 9-9

I was there too, watching a relative on the Belfry team.  If I’m not mistaken that Breathitt team won 42 consecutive games and were upset in the playoffs by Lawrence Co? Maybe??

Breathitt Co was the best team I saw play that season, too.

Who was Holcomb's mentor? Did he coach somewhere else before being head coach at Breathitt County?

He played in Nelson Co in high school and of I am not mistaken his 1st job was at Madison Central as a volunteer assistant. Something a lot of people probably don't know about him was after Breathitt Co basketball coach "stepped down" he took over the basketball team. Lets just say he is a much better football coach than basketball.

Breathitt Co was the best team I saw play that season, too.

Breathitt got beat in the region final at Lawrence that year on a cold and muddy night. We were the better team but it was just their night. The mud slowed down our pass heave offense plus Lawrence was hitting on all cylinders even hitting a long TD on a hook and lateral. After the game the Lawrence Co fans tore down the goal post and packed them down to where we were huddled trying to comprehend what happened. Needless to say a huge fight broke out with at least one stabbing. That was a long rode back to Jackson that night.

Lawrence went on to lose the next week to an underdog Bourbon Co team who was the #4 seed in their district. Bourbon is coach was Dudley Hilton who went on to win 2a that year.

That ended the 42 game win streak. Ad you probably tell that one still hurts.

He played in Nelson Co in high school and of I am not mistaken his 1st job was at Madison Central as a volunteer assistant under legendary Lynch coach Ed Miracle. He then went to Breathitt and was assistant under Dudley Hilton for a couple years before taking over in 1983. My uncle actually got the chance to have both as a head coach. Probably the only guy that can say so.

That almost mirrors what happened to Danville in 1993 when they lost to Prestonsburg on a cold, muddy night ending their 42 game winning streak.  Danville did lose at home though.  The mud neutralized their speed as well.  IMO opinion, on a dry field, Danville would have won that game.  Anyway, Prestonsburg lost the next week in the finals against Mayfield.  That's one of the reasons I miss natural grass fields.  They were a wild card that gave underdogs a fighting chance especially this time of year.
