I remember the Lex Catholic game at Paintsville, but I believe that was in 97, Josh McKenzie's Senior Year. His grandmother passed away that afternoon. 2000 plus people in a gym that holds 1300 on a good day.........HOTTER than the gates of you know where........College coaches from all over the US were tuning in to the WYMT feed to watch Tackett, McKenzie, VanHoose, Graves, Fields, and many others. I know 4 players went on to play D-1 basketball, maybe a fifth, plus another 2 or 3 that played NAIA.

What about the Clay County/Paintsville game in the late 80's with Farmer bring his team to take on Pelphrey and his group of players? That was another game that sold more tickets than seats.

I knew it was Josh's senior season, but I was thinking he graduated in '96 with Craig. I was thinking that it was his grandfather though. He only lived about a 1/4 mile away from my parents. Regardless, yeah your right, I do remember him losing a grandparent that day.
