Just wondering JR, do you think your State Championship team was better than the Pelphrey teams of the late 80's? Just wanted to hear your thoughts.

Different times, different styles, different opponents. I have always heard Coach Runyon say that if they could have just beat Louisville Ballard (and Allen Houston) that they would have won it all that year. They had already beat Clay County that year and that is who they would have faced in the finals.

As far as which team was the best, it seems that we were almost similar to each other - with the 96' team with the advantage. John Pelphrey - Myself; Joey Couch - Josh McKenzie; Keith Adkins - Todd Tackett; Mike Minix - Matt Ratliff; so what player from the 87' team matches up (size wise, skill wise) with Craig Ratliff from the 96' team? Slight edge for us I guess!!!
