Hey EKU, I was just going to start another thread about the winningest decades in Eastern Kentucky History. Pikeville had 107 wins in the 1990s and Belfry has just passed that with their 108 and, hopefully, counting. Bell County had 110 wins in the 1990s and the most they can get to is 106 for the 2000s. According to the KHSAA, they were 92-22 coming in to this year. This is a couple of games different than one of the previous posts abouve. So, theoretically, if Belfry were to win 3 more games, they could have the winningest decade, by total number of wins, in mountaing history. My research has not found any other team that has won this many. The only decade I am not completely sure on is the 1980s. Obviously, Pikeville won 43 games in the final 3 years of that decade. I do not know the totals for the other years. I asked my buddy Andrew Joyce if he knew and he said he was not for sure, but that he thought it was around 115 or greater. He was supposed to find out and let me know, but he hasn't yet. If you do the math, it would be hard to get from 43 to 115 in 7 years. At 10 wins a year, that would be 113, and I just don't remember Pikeville winning an average of 10 games a year, until those final 3 years. Maybe a Pikeville fan can do a little research and list the Panther's year by year for the 1980s.
As far as this year, it is Bell County by far. Maybe we can have two threads in one. One for this year's team and one looking at some of the winningest programs over the last decade or several decades.
