Athletics

Somerset was one of the first schools in the state of Kentucky to have a football program. For much of the school's history, it has fielded a perennially competitive team. Despite this, they have never won a football state championship and have gone 0-5 in such contests.

In 2009, Somerset played in their 5th state championship game. Unfortunately, they lost to Paducah Tilghman 21-0. They were 14-1 that year, and followed up the next season at 13-1.

The 2013 Somerset Briar Jumpers made an improbable run to a regional championship. Finishing the regular season 5-4, the Briar Jumpers went on the road for every playoff game, where they were underdogs in each game and defeated Betsy Lane 29-20, Middlesboro 19-13 and Prestonsburg 28-21, to capture their fifth consecutive regional title. Somerset played modern playoff rival Newport Central Catholic and lost 49-48 in overtime, ending one of the most unlikely playoff runs in southeastern Kentucky high school football history. The 2013 Jumpers were dubbed the "Road Warriors."

The following year, however, Somerset was unable to follow up its miraculous recovery, as the Briar Jumpers finished 0-10 in 2014 while losing leads in many contests late in the game. On Senior Night, the Briar Jumpers held a 21-0 lead over the Eagles of Lexington Christian Academy only to surrender 22 unanswered points and fall in defeat. The coaches used the slogan "0 and 10, never again!" to rally the team for the upcoming 2015 season.

Somerset has one state title in baseball, earned in 1974. Of the four major KHSAA boys' sports (Baseball, Football, Basketball and Soccer), this is the only state championship Somerset has to show for.
