Before Rockcastle County HS football existed in 1972, Mount Vernon HS was the only school out of the three schools in the county had a football team. 1963 was the 1st year that MVHS had 11-man football, they only had one winning season prior to 1957...1959 was the 1st season victorious, this season @ the height of the JFK Presidency, MVHS had a record of 7-0 remaining the only undefeated team in Rockcastle County history of any sanction sport. The W-L column for ROCK in the last 5 years have been a rollercoaster WHICH we are still in that direct path. From 1986-2006, ROCK secured 21 straight winning seasons, 16 straight playoff appearances winning 27 playoff games out of 43 establishing an incredible 22-6 playoff record @ home scoring 728 points and allowing 368. So we did have a fun time making ROCK football an exciting atmosphere for Ky HS football fans.
