State Tournament Trivia!
Since I graduated from high school in 1984, only two of Kentucky's 120 counties have had at least three different schools (including private schools) win the Boys' Basketball State Championship. One of those counties, of course, is Jefferson. Since 1984, six different schools from Jefferson County have gone all the way: Lou. Ballard (1988 and 1999), Lou. Pleasure Ridge Park (1989), Lou. Fairdale (1990, 1991, and 1994), Lou. Eastern (1997), Lou. Jeffersontown (2006), and Lou. Trinity (2012). The other county, by the way, is not Fayette -- the only state champions from Fayette since 1984 were Lexington Lafayette (2001) and Lexington Catholic (2002).
So which county is it?

Gone With the Wind
Here is a list of high schools that won the state basketball championship but no longer exist. I always wonder what happened to the trophies. Someone could write a good book about Kentucky by visiting these places and learning what happened to them. Since I am very familiar with the history of at least one more school that will be added to this list in a few years, this is all very poignant to me:
1927: Millersburg Military Institute (closed in 2003)
1930: Corinth (consolidated into Grant Co.)
1937: Midway (consolidated into Woodford Co.)
1938: Sharpe (consolidated into N. Marshall, which was later consolidated into Marshall Co.)
1939: Brooksville (consolidated into Bracken Co.)
1940: Hazel Green ("defunct", according to Wikipedia)
1941 & 1954: Inez (consolidated into Sheldon Clark)
1943: Hindman (consolidated into Knott Co. Central)
1946: Breckinridge Training (defunct)
1947: Maysville (absorbed into Mason Co.)
1948: Brewers (consolidated into S. Marshall, which was later consolidated into Marshall Co.)
1952: Cuba (consolidated into Sedalia, which was later consolidated into Graves Co.)
1956: Carr Creek (consolidated into Knott Co. Central)
1959: N. Marshall (consolidated into Marshall Co.)
1960: Lou. Flaget (closed in 1974)
1967: Earlington (consolidated into S. Hopkins, which was later consolidated into Hopkins Co. Cent.)
1982: Laurel Co. (split in 1992 into N. Laurel and S. Laurel)
"Dear GoHeath, I hope you don't mind that I'm simply adding these photographs directly to your interesting and evocative post. It doesn't appear that images can be added in comments, so here are some from a Mexican restaurant that has opened in a bank in Earlington. We most recently visited on the night that Murray State lost in the OVC tournament; we left before the game ended, but you could tell that the Racer fans were already nervous. Anyway, the story was told among customers in the place that night that the restaurant operators were granted the lease only if they agreed to keep intact and publicly accessible a wall signed by various locals (including several members of the '67 state champs) and visiting celebrities (such as Kenny "Sky" Walker). ...eric"

Oh, Kentucky
A lot of Kentuckians will be able to much more quickly access The Heath Post soon.
Few University of Kentucky football coaches took the job with seemingly as good of chances for success as has Joker Phillips. Check out Page 2 of Brett Dawson's story.
Speaking of Phillips, who quarterbacked the Wildcats to two Class 3A state championships, it appears that he and Kenny Perry might not have overlapped at Franklin-Simpson High School. They are within three years of age of each other, but Perry wasn't at F-S long before his family moved to Paducah.
Before heading out with his team for three exhibitions in Canada later this month (the first of which is already sold out), University of Kentucky men's basketball coach John Calipari was in Maysville looking for the next Darius Miller.
