R C Thomas was the difference in 76, I was very young but he scared me to death and I wasn't playing. Shame the way his life turned out but man he was special on the football field that day

In 76, I remember sitting in the stands at Commonwealth watching the 1a championship game before the Corbin/Mayfield game. I was freezing and shivering cold and the Corbin players were sitting just below me before they went into the locker room to dress. I remember a couple of there guys with full beards that looked like they were 25 years old. One stood out because he was huge and had on a tank top and some cannons for arms and looked like he was ready for war, almost frothing at the mouth and the look on his face was one where you knew you better not say anything to him or he'd take your head off. A very intimidating presence for sure. That was RC. Talking about looking like a player coming off the bus. wow. Of course, he backed it up with his play on the field. Had about 20 tackles, 3-4 sacks and half those tackles were for a loss.
