[Old School Hound]

I think you know what a premium I put on exhibiting class and sportsmanship. The least couple of days, I have been thinking about the Boyle faithful on here. I don't know all the Boyle fans on here but I am aware of Jack Lambert,  Reb , Know1 , Hatz, and several others that I can't recall off the top of my head. I have been so impressed with the class showed by these people. They had, imo, the best team in the state this season, BY FAR. They went to Cleveland and demolished a nationally ranked team. How impressive was that!!!! It was a foregone conclusion , in my mind, that they would plow  through the playoffs, encountering very little resistance , on their way to their fifth straight title.

However, it was one of those nights last Friday night, a freak upset by an inferior team. Boyle would win by 35+ if they played a rematch. It was Appy State -Michigan all over again. Boyle came up just a yard short, on a questionable call at the goal line. How much tougher, and more disheartening, can it get than that for fans of the far superior team?   And yet, they didn't rant and rave, make excuses, call for firings,  or excoriate referees. They took the loss the same way they absorb their many wins--- with class and grace.  I don't know anything about the fanbase, at-large, but the Boyle fans on here are SIMPLY THE BEST !!!  Take a bow, folks.

2024 was the year I became a Boyle County fan, and the folks on here was a big reason why. Your wonderful team was, AND IS , the best KY team in 2024, you know it, and I know it.   This is my long distance dedication to all of you classy and honorable Rebel fans on here and your terrific football team.
