Football

Boyle County is perhaps most commonly known for its football dynasty under coach Chuck Smith, now an assistant (linebackers coach) for the University of Kentucky. Under Smith, the Rebels compiled a 142-33 record in 13 seasons. He built Boyle County into a juggernaut in the Class AA and Class AAA ranks, winning five consecutive state championships - a state record - from 1999-2003.

Smith's teams won the Class AA titles in 1999 and 2000 with perfect 15-0 records. Reclassification changed Boyle County to Class AAA in 2001, but was no obstacle for the Rebels, as they won the crown with another 15-0 mark. The winning streak ended at 47 games (second-longest in Kentucky history) during the 2002 regular season, but Boyle County went on to win the state championship again. The 2003 team returned to perfection with a 15-0 slate and state title. Smith's 2004 squad went 12-3, with a loss in the state finals ending the state-record streaks of five consecutive championships and 29 straight playoff victories.

As a result of KHSAA class expansion in 2007, the Rebels now compete in Class 4A (6A being the largest - by school population). Larry French is the current head coach. In 2008, French led the Rebels to a 13-1 record and a trip to the state semifinals. In 2009 and 2010 he led the Rebels to the state championship with perfect 15-0 records. The Boyle County Rebels currently have 7 State Championships in football.
