Somebody found this little gem while surfing around Facebook tonight. It's the final minutes of the 1985 16th Region final between Greenup County and Boyd County. The game features former Kentucky Wildcat Mike Scott playing for GCHS.
11 years after consolidation created Greenup County High and the modern Boyd County High School.
Greenup ( I hope you are saying it as 'Green Up') County was created by bringing together Wurtland High School (Warriors), McKell High School (Bulldogs) and Greenup City (Tigers). The 3 rivals came together and made the new county school, hence the mascot being called 'Muskateer'. BCHS had previously existed, but also in 1974, they were merged with Catlettsburg Independent Schools, amid promises of a new school and better opportunities for Boyd County students. None of which happened. in 2013, a new high school was finally erected in Cannonsburg. Boyd County basically continued on as always with the merger being more akin to a takeover or assimilation of a culture, and Catlettsburg became a footnote to progress.
Anyways, here is the game:
