Ive seen a lot of games over the years, Ashland v. Ironton, Pikeville v. Beechwood, North v. South Laurel, even P-burg v. Paintsville, but the best game I believe I have ever seen especially in a rivalry game was the 1988 Apple Bowl. I believe Paintsville won over JC in double overtime. Final Score 23 - 20. Mitchell Johnson was QB for JC and Holbrook was QB for PHS. Trimble was coaching JC then and his team was big and strong. Had Deaton who played for Marshall and Hall in the backfield guaranteed 5 yards every carry. After neither team could get a field goal in 1st OT, PHS stopped JC's Hall on first two carrys then Pelphrey cam out of nowhere to tip a pass away from a wide open JC receiver. 4th down failed to convert and PHS kicked a field goal for the win. I think that play by play is right it was 4 to 5 deep around the rails with the bleachers full at PHS. Great game with both teams undefeated coming in to the game.
