I would put the 1998 Middlesboro team up against any Class A team in the mountains. I can not see the Pikeville 87 team being much better in my book.

Can't agree with this..

That Middlesboro team was great, but the 1987 Pikeville team was transcendent.

The closest a mountain team has ever came to being a Top 50 team Nationally was that Panther team.

Here is my Top 5 list, I only consider teams who won their State Championship:
1. 1987 Pikeville
2. 2004 Belfry
3. 2002 Breathitt
4. 1991 Bell County
5. 1996 Breathitt
