In 2012 Newport Central Catholic defeated Caldwell County 30-26 to capture the Class 2A state title (their 5th state title). The head coach of the Breds was Eddie Eviston.
This is the 57th year my Dad or myself have been involved with NewCath Football. Last night was the 480 win over those years (480-265-2). Miss him every day.
Throwback to 1980 and some great games with The Newport Wildcats, from the mid 70's to the Mid 80's was the heyday of the battle for the Fireman's Bell.
There are 12 schools who have played in 10 or more state title tilts since 1959. Louisville St Xavier-18, Danville-15, Belfry-15, Newport Catholic-14, Louisville Male-13, Boyle County-12, Bowling Green- 11, and Franklin Simpson-10 round out this elite group.
@woody14263@history_trace As I sit here thinking of so many more players I watched play or we play against over the years many of them I can’t remember all their names. 2 RB from Danville Donnie Reed & ? , QB Andrews Fort Campbell , Brandon Berger Beechwood , RB/LB from early Boyle Dynasty and many more
