The HS in Ashland, Kentucky?

Dang! How did you find that?

This is my High School that I went to, so that is how I know it.

The name of the school back then was just Ashland High, it is now called Paul G. Blazer High School.

I looked at your location in the upper right hand corner of your profile.

You'd have to be old as dirt and from the Denver area to know that answer. Larry Farmer was sixth man on his high school (Manual) in Denver. He didn't improve that much in college to make All America as a senior, his high school team was that good. This is easier-- Larry Farmer holds a record as a player at UCLA, what is that record? Hint: freshman didn't play in this era.

Bill said that the Red Sox became the first team in 35 years to clinch a playoff berth by defeating a 20 game winner.

Try and name the team that did the same thing in 1973 and the 20-game winner who was victimized.

I will take a wild guess here....The Mets beat Fergueson Jenkins to Clinch the NL east.
