Northfork High School Blue Demons PM Magazine Feature Story

Feature story on Northfork High School, Northfork, WV, (1981) and their incredible basketball program helmed by legendary Hall of Fame coach, the late Jennings Boyd. The Blue Demons captured their 8th consecutive State Championship Basketball title that season, breaking the National Record. This clip also contains the last few minutes of the final state championship game in 1981, (with the incredible last minute shot to win the game!) and Jennings Boyd addressing the crowd postgame at the Charleston Civic Center at the awards ceremony.

I graduated from Northfork High School in 1972. I remember all the Blue Demon fever and the SUPER SUPER NICE COACH BOYD. HE ALWAYS SMILED AND SAID HI. Proud to have graduated from Northfork High........so sad to hear that it's being torn down:(. My Daddy was proud as could be of the Blue Demons.

A lifetime ago, yet seems like yesterday. The devastation and demise of such an institution and its community is heartbreaking. Thanks for the memories.

I was in Morgantown during the first championship in 1971, but missed the game because of Mononucleosis. I was at the scorers table for semi final but coming from 17 points down at half was incredible!!!
