Should turn into a pretty decent scrimmage. Two previous meeting, Brossart winning both. Betsy Layne coming off a decent year with a 7-4 mark. Brossart looking to rebound with a new coaching staff after going 1-9.

 

I heard Betsy Layne has upgraded their facilities. Looking forward to ssing how both teams fare.

What a horrible bus ride. For a scrimmage? no thanks.

I think it is an overnight trip for Brossart.

That's pretty cool. Probably a good opportunity for lots of the Brossart kids to see a part of Kentucky most have likely never been to.

I didn't make the trip since it was a scrimmage and not a game, but had made the previous two in 2009 and 2010 - both Brossart victories.

 

It took me three days to get there, but of course I took a circuitous route. We played at Betsy Layne on Friday, so I left Alexandria early Wednesday morning, giving myself enough time to get to Cross Lanes, West Virginia and arrive at the Tri-State Dog Track in time to bet the Wednesday Saratoga horse races via simulcast. Had dinner following the horse races while playing the live dog races, and did the same thing on Thursday. On Friday morning after breakfast I departed Cross Lanes and headed to Pikeville, Kentucky via Charleston, West Virginia to Pikeville, Ky on Highway 119. Straight downhill via divided highway for about one hundred-fifty miles decorated by those little white crosses about every mile and a half.

The route passed several major coal mining operations. When I reached Kentucky, I passed Belfry high school and Pikeville College.

 

It took two days to get home. I left Betsy Layne after the game on Friday night, and traveled the Mountain Parkway to Lexington where I stayed overnight, and then played the Saturday Saratoga card via simulcast at Keeneland, had dinner, stayed the night and did the same on Sunday before returning home Sunday night.

 

A little five night outing for our Betsy Layne football game was a welcome respite following the weeks of preparation and execution of the Nathan Seiter Memorial Golf Outing the previous week. Maybe I should have gone again this week - lol!!!

Sounds like Mustang took the scenic tour.

Heard from a poppa of a player that the short route was 3:10 one way.

Betsy Lane won 28-0 is what i think the final score was.
