Most Heartbreaking Loss By Your Team
#38
Big Jim Wrote:Oh, this is easy. Sophomore year, ranked #1 in the 15th, last regular season game. It was senior night in P-burg, and they were ranked #2 in the region. Hard fought game the whole way thru. We go up 1 on a 15 footer from the elbow by Jerry Pelphrey with 3 seconds...Blackcats call timeout.

Coming out of the timeout, we set up a 2-2-1 zone press and I'm the 1 in the back of it. Scott hall throws it into Chris Slone who takes 2 dribbles to get to the opposite free throw line, slings one up just before the buzzer and I caught it as it went thru the hoop...we lose by 2.



Big Jim, what poll was it that had you all ranked #1 and P'burg #2? If I am not mistaken, most polls had McDowell #1 that season, with Paintsville and/or Pikeville #2 most of the time. I remember, because I was a Daredevil that season, starting with Henry Webb, Dickie Joe Shannon and Rady Martin. We had the most heart-breaking loss that season, up 11 at halftime over P'burg in the regional finals, only to lose by 11 in the end. We also had the 2 most heart-breaking losses the season before that, and the season after, in the regional tourney. Lose to Phelps in '88 on a tip-in shot at the buzzer, in OT, in the regional semi's, then lose by 1 point to Jody Thompson and Feds Creek in '90 in the region semi's, a week after beating Pikeville in one of the greatest 15th region games ever played, one of the greatest comebacks!!! 3 years in a row the Daredevils should have went to state.
