NO excuses from me the better team won those games fair and square. Paintsville had a great group of guys too. There is know way to know what would have happen. It was ashame that Ronnie didn't get to coach those years. I do know that Ronnie took his Freshmen and Sophmores up to Pikeville and beat them up there in JV game that Deramus, Honaker and Macme played in. Ronnie ran that Green Bay Packer sweep with big Brain Hall. Only person that could stop it was Steve Trimble, he refused to run that play for Bryan in 88. I will never forget Greg Slone returning a Punt for a TD vs Belfry. Most awsome run I ever saw in High school football. I think JJ Jude is the only RB that Johnson Co has produced better than Greg. Greg was really a Great athlete. His Freshmen team at JCHS was maybe the best class I ever saw, Big James Davis who played a Paintville was a part of that team. That Group also has a fullback that was 2nd class 3A in the High jump who jumped 6 feet 8 inchs and he could run like a deer. Steve Trimble didn't like tall RB's and moved the guy to offensive tackle. The High Jumper told after the Apple Bowl Ronnie hugged him and all he said was "I am so sorry for you not gettin to carry that pumpkin". I will never forget the JCHS players crying when they found out he had been fired. Ronnie Wells is a great man and coach and to this day he treats me better than anyone from JCHS! TRUE CLASS ACT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
