CANNONSBURG For the first time since 2010, the Greenup County Musketeers are heading to the playoffs.

 

The Musketeers clinched their spot in the postseason with an 18-17 win over Boyd County on Friday night at Tom Scott Field at Boyd County High School.

 

“This means everything, because (the seniors) deserve this game more than they deserve anything else,” Greenup County coach Chris Mullins said regarding the significance of reaching the playoffs for the 2015 class. “They made it through four years of a struggling football program. We had a no-win season, a one-win season, a two-win season, and now a three-win season with the playoffs.

 

“We are making strides, and they put their signature on a win tonight that really means a lot for our program moving forward.”

 

Greenup County (3-6) will travel to Covington Catholic in the opening round of the playoffs.

Boyd County (2-7) can still make the playoffs with a win over a Tolsia (West Virginia) next Friday or a Rowan County loss to Montgomery County.

 

Trailing for more than 20 minutes of the opening half, the Musketeers scored 12 points in the final 2:15 to take the lead.

This was actually another no win season also. These seniors lost like 23 in a row before winning a varsity game last year as juniors. Several of them had to start varsity as freshman. A couple of really tough years but the program is getting better and headed the right way now.

Proud of my Musketeers!!!!!!!
