Belfry lead series 25-4-0

1988 was the year that Belfry used ineligible players and were forced to forfeit the JC game and their district title. Without those players Belfry lost in the opening round of the playoffs to a 5-6 Ashland team. JC finished in a 3 way tie for district runner-up with Breathitt Co and Clay Co. Breathitt (who JC beat that season) won the tie breaker and lost 13-8 to Russell in the playoffs. Ashland would beat Russell in the rematch and lose a close game (6-0) to eventual 3A Champ Covington Catholic. Note: the 88' JC team was lead by Marshall All-American Chris Deaton and was one of the best JCHS team of the 80's. The 88' team was handicapped by a first year coach who had never been a head Football coach at the Varsity HS level!
