That school closed in 1974. “<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flaget_High_School#History" rel="nofollow">By the 1970s, the school was a victim of changing times, as white flight had seen what was once an all-white neighborhood become integrated and most Catholic families left for the city's southern and eastern suburbs</a>,” says Wikipedia. So, I suppose, you could sort of count Flaget as part of the Trinity/St. X success.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11218278987255792995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1697242053625998558.post-54624758587487242092015-02-28T11:27:25.446-05:002015-02-28T11:27:25.446-05:00Of course, there are several former state champion...Of course, <a href="http://www.heathpost.com/2011/03/gone-with-wind.html" rel="nofollow">there are several former state champions that no longer exist</a>, but several were part of consolidation into schools that have qualified for their regional tournaments. For example, Maysville, the 1947 champ, is part of Mason County. Others:<br /><br />— Cuba, the 1952 champ, was consolidated into Graves County, which is in the Region 1 tournament.<br /><br />— Corinth, the 1930 champ, was consolidated into Grant County, which is in the Region 8 tournament.<br /><br />— Midway, the 1937 champ, was consolidated into Woodford County, which is in the Region 11 tournament.<br /><br />— Carr Creek, the 1956 champ, and Hindman, the 1943 champ, were consolidated into Knott County Central, which is in the Region 14 tournament.<br /><br />— Inez, the 1941 and ’54 champ, was consolidated into Inez Sheldon Clark, which is in the Region 15 tournament.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11218278987255792995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1697242053625998558.post-24962108665273457972015-02-28T11:01:01.308-05:002015-02-28T11:01:01.308-05:00Here are the former boys state champions who have ...Here are the former boys state champions who have moved on to the regional tournaments (and the statewide round of 128) ...<br /><br />Region 2: Hopkinsville, 23-5 and champs in 1985; Hopkinsville University Heights, 8-20 and champs in 1992<br /><br />Region 3: Breckinridge County, 18-9 and champs in 1965 and ’95; Edmonson County, 17-12 and champs in 1976; Owensboro, 24-4 and champs in 1917, ’49, ’72 and ’80;<br /><br />Region 4: Bowling Green Warren Central 21-7 (and playing in the 14th District championship) and champs in 2004; Logan County 19-8 and champs in 1984<br /><br />Region 5: Elizabethtown, 17-8 (and playing in 17th District championship tonight) and champs in 2000<br /><br />Region 6: Louisville Pleasure Ridge Park, 18-7 and champs in 1989<br /><br />Region 7: Louisville Ballard, 28-2 and champs in 1977, ’88 and ’99; Louisville Central, 17-8 and champs in 1969 and ’74; Louisville duPont Manual, 23-5 and champs in 1921, ’23, ’25 and ’31; Louisville Eastern, 17-9 and champs in 1997; Louisville Male, 15-13 and champs in 1945, ’70, ’71 and ’75; Louisville Saint Xavier, 19-9 and champs in 1926, ’35, ’58 and ’62; Louisville Trinity, 23-5 and champs in 2012<br /><br />Region 8: Independence Simon Kenton 15-13 and champs in 1981; Shelby County , 21-7 (and playing for the 30th District championship) and champs in 1966 and -78<br /><br />Region 9: Covington Catholic, 26-5 and champs in 2014; Covington Holmes, 21-8 and champs in 2009<br /><br />Region 10: Mason County, 27-2 and champs in 2003 and ’08<br /><br />Region 11: Lexington Catholic, 21-8 and champs in 2002; Lexington Henry Clay, 20-10 and champs in 1918, ’19, ’20, ’22 and ’24 and ’83; Lexington Lafayette, 20-11 and champs in 1942, ’50, ’53, ’57, ’79 and 2001; Richmond Madison Central, 18-11 and champs 2013<br /><br />Region 12: Pulaski County, 19-11 and champs in 1986<br /><br />Region 13: Clay County, 22-6 and champs in 1987; Corbin, 16-10 and champs in 1936; <br /><br />Region 15: Pikeville Shelby Valley, 18-12 and champs in 2010<br /><br />Region 16: Ashland Blazer, 5-26 and champs in 1928, ’33, ’34 and ’61Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11218278987255792995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1697242053625998558.post-62571604891368067342015-02-24T16:55:13.453-05:002015-02-24T16:55:13.453-05:00The Breckinridge County Fighting Tigers--champs in...The Breckinridge County Fighting Tigers--champs in 1965 and '95--beat Cloverport Fredrick Fraize, 84-59, in the 11th District last night.<br /><br />The Corbin Redhounds--champs in 1936--beat Whitley County, 56-45, in the 50th District.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11218278987255792995noreply@blogger.com
