About Wickliffe

Wickliffe High School was a community-focused institution located in the river city of Wickliffe within Ballard County, Kentucky. Its athletic teams were famously known as the Blue Devils, and they competed in the school colors of blue and white. The school served as a vital educational and social anchor for the county seat and the surrounding river valley for much of the early 20th century. The high school's independent existence came to an end in 1952 as part of the comprehensive county-wide consolidation that created Ballard Memorial High School. During this reorganization, Wickliffe High School merged with neighboring community schools from Bandana, Barlow-Kevil, Blandville, and La Center. While the high school students were relocated to the new centralized campus in La Center, the Wickliffe building continued to serve as a local elementary and middle school for several decades until modern district updates led to its retirement as an active school facility. In boys' basketball, the Wickliffe Blue Devils were active members of the KHSAA 1st Region and a respected force in the 2nd District. The program enjoyed a period of significant success during the 1940s and early 1950s, characterized by intense rivalries with neighboring river towns. A notable high point in the program's history occurred in 1952, its final year of operation, when the Blue Devils secured a victory in the 2nd District tournament before the schools were unified the following fall. The legacy of the Blue Devils remains a foundational pillar of the Ballard Memorial "Bombers" athletic tradition, which consolidated the histories of these historic small-town programs.
