Edmonson County Game Incident.

[the nail at the foul line]

This explains it thoroughly.

Yes you're correct. Didn't win district.

It really is one of the most amazing sports stories.
Corn fed Phil Rich Was a dominant force.

Yeah he went on to WKU as a football player. Chester Bethel wasn't bad either

Ohio County went all the way to the state championship game in 1969, where they ran into Louisville Central and the buzz saw that was Ron King.

I was only in elementary school, but I remember pretty much the entirety of Freedom Hall was cheering for Ohio Co, except for Central’s small section, lol.

Also, if I recall correctly, an Issel-led UK team was winning their NCAA tourney game at the exact same time. I remember my dad had a transistor radio trying to listen to the game while in the upper stands of Freedom Hall. 😊

Great memories!

Gary Raymond was a guard on that team ,the other guard was also pretty good but I can't remember his name.

Good ol Otter Gap Rd. Probably one of very few 3 mile stretches of highway in the USA that produced a world series pitcher, who has a bat in the hall of Fame

There’s a county in KY called Edmondson? I’ll be damned.

 

[Rockford]

That's not true. They do have a trophy Case in the cafeteria with the trophy and net.
It is very important to everyone in the county

Thanks
That is what the guy told me.
Never been there myself.

Can’t remember all of the players and their positions, but along with Raymond, seems like Everett Taylor, John Robert Parker, and maybe the center was John White?
Ralph Underhill was the coach. He was a good one.
