Pikeville vs. Paintsville (1988 Highlights) The Thrilla in Pikevilla
The best description would be to copy an excerpt from the article prior to the game published in People Magazine:
'The Boys of Autumn' -Nov. 7th, 1988
By Alan Richman
'Only one coach in eastern Kentucky has a record to rival Hillard Howard's, and that is Walter Brugh, 62, of Paints-ville High, who has won more games over his 32-year career than all but one other coach in the state. Hillard and I are friends, says Brugh, whose own team was undefeated going into the game against Pikeville this year. Friendships like this one bring back memories of the Hatfields and the McCoys. Says Jeamy Holbrook, the quarterback for Paintsville: Coach Brugh would rather beat Coach Howard than eat.
Paintsville, which has about the same population as Pikeville, wasn't nearly as blessed with the federal funds that flowed from Lyndon Johnson's Great Society programs. Or, as Brugh puts it, We had to work for our money. Paintsville is picturesque, more like a small town is supposed to look, with tree-lined residential streets and a dairy bar across the road from the high school that is painted in team colors and calls itself the Home of the Tigers. Three years ago, when Paintsville was on the way to a second-place finish in the state football tournament, the Tigers defeated Pikeville 48-21. The prevailing view is that Paintsville, which scored its 48 points after being down 21-0, ran up the score.
With a minute and 27 seconds left to play, they were still throwing the ball, fumes Howard.
We were just trying to play football, smiles Brugh.
Last year Pikeville won 59-0. This time Pikeville was accused of running up the score.
What do you think? asks Brugh, not smiling now. Howard recalls that after Pikeville won the state championship, Brugh was one of his few coaching acquaintances who didn't call with congratulations. Going into this year's Pikeville-Paintsville game, neither coach was predicting victory. They sounded as if they weren't even sure their teams would show up.
Maybe once we see them, we'll turn and run, said Brugh.
They're undefeated, Howard reminded his players after practice one afternoon. If that scares you and you need to be home the night we play, let me know, and I'll give you the day off.
On the morning of the game, Howard received a telephone call from his brother, Eddie, 55, who said he wasn't coming to the game because Paintsville wasn't tough enough. He's trying to aggravate me, that's what he's trying to do, said Howard. Later, when the coach stopped in at Jerry's for his usual pregame iced tea, a former player came over and said the betting line on the game had Pikeville favored by 29 points. I should put $20 on Paintsville myself, Howard said in disgust.
A couple of hours before kickoff, he went home to change clothes. He came out of the bedroom wearing a short-sleeved white polo shirt and shimmering maroon slacks, the Pikeville colors. He had on his game face, the short-tempered one.
Marsha, do I need a coat? he asked.
Yes, it's freezing, she said. You should be wearing a long-sleeved shirt, too.
Marsha, don't tell me what to wear.
The confrontation that Howard was calling the Thrilla in Pikevilla was drawing near. When the coach arrived at the field, he found fullback Cox in the school parking lot, adjusting the air filter on his Trans Am instead of preparing for the game. Will you stop dinking with that junk, he yelled, waving for Cox to get inside. Once dressed, the players filed into a world history classroom, jamming their bodies behind desks not designed for 200-pounders in pads. On the blackboard was an outline of the rise and fall of Rome, but Howard provided his own history lesson, reminding his team of Paintsville's humiliating 48-21 win. I don't want that ever to leave your minds, he warned.
Four times that night, Paintsville drives deep into Pikeville territory. Four times, Paintsville has first down and goal to go. The Big Dawg goal-line defense, so tough a pickup truck couldn't go through it, holds every time. Pikeville wins 22-0. The next morning, Howard goes down to Jerry's for breakfast. As he steps into the restaurant, he hears it, just as he knew he would. Hillard, someone asks, what went wrong last night? '
Pikeville would go on to win the 1988 Class A State Championship. Their 2nd of Kentucky's first ever 3-peat.
