Yes it is a two way street. The year Hazard beat Perry on a Hail-Mary pass at the end. Perry's fans where getting ready to rush the field right before the pass. Dont say it was never a big deal to Perry because it was.

Hazard don't look at the 5A and think that Perry should beat them. Hazard plays Letcher Central every year and Hazard has beaten Letcher the last 4 times. So if Perry and Hazard did play and Perry somehow won the game it would be a BIG win for Perry, because Hazard is a very respected football program and Perry has took 10 steps backwards since Haddix left.

2008? Yea, the students might have rushed the field, what do you expect in a rivalry game that played out the way that game did. The 1A runner-up beat a 5-6 5A team on a hail mary was the net result of that game. Frankly, to the bolded, no it wouldn't. Bragging rights for one year over a 1A school, maybe a larger than usual slice of money on the gate, but who cares. Beating Harlan County for the first time in school history, or winning the district would be "big" wins. We beat Hazard when I was there, it was a nice little distraction with the black gold bowl and all that, but district play starting the week after was the important goal. You'd like to think it's more of a big deal, but it's not.
