[3wishes]

3wishes, Rocksolid69 or former might know this, didn't Rock have a team in the early 90's with J.D. Harris and Scott Parkey that was a favorite/contender to win state, but got beat by Corbin? Maybe I am dreaming?.

It was 1991, they weren't favored. That was the year that really put Rockcastle County on the map as a football power. They beat Corbin twice that year and Corbin had beat the 3A Champs Bell County that same year. Rock fumbled the ball inside their 30 yard line and Danville ran it back for the go ahead score late in the 4th. Rock got inside the 10 yard line to score with about 2 minutes left and on 2nd down got a HOLDING call that backed them up and ultimately lost the game AT DANVILLE.

1995, had the leading rusher in the state and demolished their competition and was headed for a STATE but the RB fell during the 6th game of the season to a near fatal head injury and couldn't play again. They still made it far but losing him hurt.

Since that 1991 game Rock has been very close losing in the semis, region or state each year.
