A book recounting Simon Kenton High School's run to the boys state basketball championship in 1981 was released Monday by Acclaim Press.
Pioneer Spirit, One High School's Rise From Tragedy To Glory, was written by Eric C. Deters. Mason County fans remember that Simon Kenton team. The Royals lost to the Pioneers in the state championship game. Most people didn't know that half of the Simon Kenton High School had been destroyed by a natural gas explosion in October 1980.One student was killed in the blast. Nick Clooney wrote the introduction to the book, and former University of Kentucky basketball coach Joe B. Hall wrote the foreword.
