Yes they were.Greenback beat them in 1987 on the way to our first and only state championship,that was one of the coldest playoff games I can remember(thankful I was playing the kids one the sideline were miserable).FRA had a DB that only had one arm and he also played receiver and was one of their best players.....and we should have beaten them in 91 also!

So what happened? Not often do we see 8-6 games anymore.

Paducah Tilghman must have been insanely good in the early 1990's. Only team to defeat BA in '91, and I believe they were also the only team to defeat Gallatin in '92. Both went on to win state championships.

Yep. They also beat AAA state champion Oak Ridge in 1991. Billy Jack Haskins was their QB that year, and he went on to play at Kentucky.

FRA was not a top team in 87. Had a few games where injuries helped them win. Still remember then throwing the ball 40 times a game in 87.

 

Since 1991 they have beaten their biggest rival 3 times. Decent program with a good coach now. BW is going to do good things there. Very likeable guy too.

    • Did this happen? Does anyone know? Ripley has their HC job posted on the bulletin board over the weekend.
    • Coalfield definitely isn't the same team they've had the past few years. They are still the favorites to make it out of their region because of their pitching. They have 1 arm that sits low to mid 80s and 2 other arms that are mid to high 70s with good off speed stuff. If you can avoid their top 3 bats in their lineup then you have a shot to beat them. Their 4-9 hitters are average at best. Wartburg's ace was able to shut them down last week in the game Wartburg won 4-2. 
    • It is the longest season. Plus, 30 games a year. No Christmas break. I would say basketball is the most time consuming. 
    • No movement on Chester? South Gibson? Gibson County?
    • Winfree's senior year was the season she needed to secure more college interest. That opportunity was taken away from her. A lot of false assumptions can be made about what happened and what the options are. Unfortunately, the former coach and administration did not allow Winfree to have due process. A lawsuit was filed for a reason, and it will run its course by people who conduct discovery and take depositions. Unless the parties settle out of court, a lot of the pertinent issues will come to the public surface. I wrote about many of the issues here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/11/17/grounds-for-investigation-and-suspension/ I interviewed Winfree after she was dismissed from the team and wrote about it here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/12/01/a-new-interview-with-sable-winfree/ Winfree had been on teams in Warren County since the fourth grade and never been dismissed from a team. The real questions are why was Winfree dismissed from the team, and why the administration backed a coach whom they did not rehire.
