That’s the one

I can still smell the Mercer Mall Steve and Barry's.

Sadly there are 0 common opponents or even teams that could be used for a comparison. However when Belfry fans comment and say this was and still is one of the best teams to ever grace EKY it turns your head. They went through Beechwood and Mayfield to win the championship and only lost to Bell county due to the Refs that you mention. Bell county is called "Flag mountain" for a reason, that and they kept it close when Dudley Hilton was in his prime. Its close for both teams and your own bias will give the edge to each team.

This is close but hancock Co is where you have to be 30 points better just to beat them by 7

Middlesboro is the 5th on the all time wins list for all Kentucky teams. Late 90s they had teams as good and several better than the 98 pv vikings. Their coach died and then they took a page out of lee highs playbook with coachevery 4 years before settling on coach French who is 2nd or 3rd on the all time wins as a coach. As far as reffing goes they do the exact same thing the AoA does in VA. They send their more experienced refs to other match ups and use their inexperienced refs for their out of state match ups.

Why would you hire someone from outside the district that you may have to "create" a job for and they may not even be able to field a team? Then that person has to turn around and look for a new job and move again. If you hire from within, maybe you can find a good fit and they are already a part of the school/community. Just a thought.
