I would say a program needs to have success over a long period of time and have multiple title winning coaches to be considered a blue blood. For me this is the main difference in a team like Boyle County who would I would consider a blue blood, and a team like Belfry, who I'm 50-50 on.

Boyle County's history before the early 2000's is what keeps them from Blueblood status but makes them the richest of the New Bloods.

Boyle is kind of like Amazon or Google.

As a Rebel alum, I hear that a lot. 

But Boyle had success before the 90’s. 

Cases in point:
1963, first season went 9-0.

1965 Rebels make playoffs first time and lose 13-7 in runner up My Old Kentucky Home. 

1970 Boyle goes 9-1-1 but don’t have enough Dickinson points to go to post season. 

1975 set a still standing record of fewest passing yards given up in a season while going 9-2

1976 goes 10-2 with wins over Harrodsburg n Henry Clay 

1977 8-3 with a District Title. Lost to Defending Champ Corbin in Regional. 

1979 9-1 but one loss kept them out of playoffs despite wins over AA semifinal Washington County & AAA playoff Lincoln County. Also add wins over Harrodsburg, Somerset and Danville 

1982 8-2 lost in Regional to eventual champ Corbin. 

As you can see, it’s not like Boyle didn’t have some success prior to 1993.
