Losses that still stick with you...I will give you my top ones.

Buc-a-roo Wrote:1978 Russell beat Belfry in the semifinals 7-6 in a controversial XP call. Russell went on to win the title and Belfry fans thought they had one taken away from them.

1979 Belfry's entire backfield out with injuries and Franklin Simpson takes the Pirates to the woodshed in the State Finals. Joker Phillips and Kerry Baird were fun to watch, but that loss was tough on this young Pirate fan.

1985 finals loss to Paducah Tilghman. PT led 16-14 with about 2 min to go and they ended up getting two quick scores to ice it. PT was the more talented team but we hung with them. Very hard emotionally for me.

1986 Belfry was good enough to win but we fumbled 9 times and gave Owensboro many opportunities and lost 14-0. Hard to play that badly on the big stage.

1989 Fort Thomas beat Belfry in OT in the semifinals in a great game at Highlands

2012 State Finals loss to Central was a tough one to swallow

I've heard several Pirate faithful say that game in 1978 was garbage, and the play was cleared with an official before even being ran.
