[PHSFAN]

I would say Phelps in 1999 for me. They came to Pikeville 6-0 and ranked in the top 10 in class A. They talked trash all week in the newspapers and pregame. When the game was over the scoreboard read Pikeville 56 Phelps 13.....I almost had to open up a can of whupass after the game on a certain player. I'm glad I didn't though because that same player is one of my best friends now.

I agree we at Lynn Camp played them in the first round of the playoffs, and the winner got Pikeville in the second round. They were very for sure that it was going to be them that was going to play them. I was standing there when they got off the bus, and I heard a couple of the players say we had to come all this way to play this piece of crap team, well needless to say Phelps put up a good fight, but lost 48 to 14. They also kept talking about how they were going to shut down Quentin Henson, and Henson has his top rushing games of his career, rushing for over 330 yards. Phelps had a very good runningback who was held to 40 yards for the game. I also remember a coach of their's telling me, you may have beaten us, but I beat you 100 dollars you can't play with in 50 points of Pikeville. Well he was somewhat right, we lost to Pikeville on a last second field goal 25 to 24. I'm still waiting on my 100 dollars.

That 1999 game between Pikeville and Lynn Camp is one of the best games I have ever seen. Pikeville was up 14-0 at halftime and Lynn Camp scored 24 unanswered points in the 2nd half. Henson had a great game and he was the entire Lynn Camp offense the entire game. He had to carry it over 40 times. Pikeville kept hitting and hitting him and trying to contain him. Henson was a great back...he took hard hits all night but just kept going. The hitting finally caught up to him and he had two crucial fumbles late in the 4th quarter. One that gave the ball back to Pikeville so that they could kick the FG with about 3 minutes to go and then another one to give the ball back to Pikeville where they just had to take a knee to win. The year before LC put a beating on us at LC in the 1st round of the playoffs ending our season at 5-6 which is the only losing season at Pikeville in the past 40 years I believe...so getting them back in the playoffs the next year in such a great game was defintely one of the highlights of my high school football career.
