THAT CLASSIC STYLE Helps Bearcats to a 10-0 Season! Although the preseason polls didn't predict it, ACHS would go into the record books this year with an undefeated regular season record. The big surprise came after the first game. The 'Cats were favored over the Frankfort High Panthers, but not by 43 points. The 'Cats de- feated the Panthers 57-14 in a game played with an extreme hun- ger for victory This same hunger was displayed at home against Mercer. The 'Cats used that Classic Style and senior running back Ricky Roberts, who took 19 carries for 120 yards. The 'Cats next game would be against the best team in the entire schedule, the Pikeville Panthers. The 'Cats began their scoring drive early in the first quarter with a long reception by sophomore Chris Franklin which brought a 23-yard gain. The 'Cats had excel- lent ball control as they ended the game with a record low zero fum- bles and a 21-7 victory Freshman Spencer Barnett rushed 153 yards in 19 carries, which was a personal best. In the next game against Wood- ford County the 'Cats used senior quarterback Brian Renaud's scram- bling and rushing abilities to se- cure a victory Renaud rushed for over 40 yards, including a 37-yard bolt. Next up to bite the dust was Washington County who fell to the 'Cats 28-0. Barnett rushed for over 100 yards. The next team the 'Cats mauled was Bardstown. Renaud returned an interception 50 yards for a Bear- cat touchdown as ACHS won 19-6. This victory the first in thirteen years against Bardstown, clinched the sub-district title.

Brian was selected by Kentucky coaches to represent Kentucky in the Ky!Tenn. All-Star Game. The 35-man squad will play in Knoxville this summer. Brian is considered one of the 35 best in the state of Kentucky said Coach Sam Harp. That's a pretty good honor. 36 - Football were also dominated by that 'Cat Classic Style. The Pioneers fell quickly while Chris Franklin was racking up receptions and inter- ceptions. The Wildcats also met a quick doom as junior Rudy Iohn- son and Barnett rushed for a total of over 150 yards. The 'Cats would now face archri- val Bourbon County with an untar- nished record. The 'Cats defeated the Colonels 22-21 with outstand- ing play Highlights of the game included two breakaway runs by Barnett, a 37-yard field goal by Renaud late in the game, and a pass interception in the end zone late in the game by Chris Franklin to clinch the win for the 'Cats.

TH T CLASSIC STYLE . . . Earns the 'Cats a Homecoming Victory The Bearcats on Homecoming night looked like two entirely different teams. They had only 106 yards of offense in the first half and only two exciting plays. After the opening kickoff, it took only two plays to go 70 yards as Rudy Iohnson ran a flanker reverse for his first rushing touchdown of the year. With Brian Renaud's extra point, the 'Cats led 7-0 only 54 seconds into the game. The only other exciting thing in the half was Chris Franklin's interception, his eighth of the year, when he picked off an option pass with 39 seconds left in the half. But in the second half, the Bearcats looked a whole lot different. This time they controlled the line, per- mitting Henry County inside the Bearcat 10 only twice in the half. The Bearcats rolled up 208 second half yards C140 of those contributed by Spencer Bar- nettj. Other players singled out for praise by Harp were linebacker Lee Aldridge for an exceptional block which permitted Barnett a 48 yard run, Chris Franklin for a ninth interception, and linebacker Brian Frank- lin for recovering a fumble which prevented Henry County from scoring late in the game. Followed by their teammates, seniors Ricky Boggs and Tony Puck- ett lead the 'Cats to a Homecoming victory 38 - Football Struttin' his stuff, freshman Spencer Barnett is all alone running for one of his many touchdowns. Running with a few extra burdens, this Bearcat's having a hard time gaining yardage.
