A lot of the older folks around here claim that 77 Corbin team was much better than the other teams of that era that one state championships, such as the year befoe and in 82 i think.
That 77 team was loaded with talent, but there were some major things happen that year.

I was a freshman when Boyle played Corbin in '77. Still have the film from the game. It was one of the largest and strongest High School teams I've ever seen. Just powerful in the lines and the backfield was good.

Boyle had cut a big deficit to 19-15 at halftime and started the 2nd half with a sold drive. Then a Corbin lineman ripped the ball out of a Boyle back's hands and all the momentum shifted. Corbin just buried us 37-15. They were by far the better team.

Both games with Mayfield were Titanic clashes and could have gone either way. They were much better in '77 than when I saw them in '82. I felt like the '82 team just got hot at the right time and were fortunate that Boyle had upset Somerset in the District (the jumpers had beaten the Hounds soundly in the season) for thier only loss of the year.
