Does anyone know where the live scrimmage will be? I know it is a two day event. Also does anyone know the dates yet? Thanks

2016 EKC Grid

Friday August 12 at West Carter

6pm Nicholas County vs Fleming County

8pm Greenup County vs West Carter

 

Saturday August 13 at Russell

5pm Bath County vs Raceland

7pm East Carter vs Lewis County

9pm Rowan County vs Russell

 

Several of these games are repeats of last year. I think they try to put teams together that don't play in the regular season.

If all goes as planned I will be making my first trip to West Cater and to Russel, to catch all of these games.

 

Hotels in the area?

You will have to stay in Grayson or Ashland.

You can get a cabin at Carter Caves. That's about the nicest we have in Olive Hill. Spanish Manor Inn is a place too but most would choose to stay in Grayson which is 10 minutes away.

Grayson would probably serve as a happy medium between both schools. Approximately 21 miles to Russell High School and about 12 miles to West Carter High School.

Guest House Inn & Suites

Days Inn

Super 8

 

If you enjoy the beauty of the country, you can choose from 2 State Resort Parks.

 

Greenbo Lake.=Russell 12 mi.

W. Carter 27 mi.

 

Carter Caves =W. Carter 7 mi.

Russell 33 mi.

 

Greenbo's Lodge us currently closed due to a fire in the kitchen early last fall, but reconstruction should be near completion and they should re-open soon.

Thanks all. Looking forward to the games and making some new friends and seeing some old ones.

I bought a Bath County T-Shirt last season, when I was there at a very good price.

 

I plan on buying another shirt at the event this time around.

 

Hopefully they will be sold at least one of the locations.

Holler at me before the grid and let me know your size. I'll hook you up with a Comet T!

Watching another Arena league football game and I started to wonder about this event.

 

I was wondering are the same teams always in it?

 

Thanks.

All the teams in the EKC play in it. Some teams have dropped out and some have came back in recent years and that has caused an odd number of teams at times. In that case they will invite someone else to fill the open spot in the grid.

EKC is the oldest conference in KY, at least according to local lore. Same teams, unless a team is added or leaves the conference. For instance, Russell is a new addition from the last few years. As much as possible, teams are matched up that don't play in the regular season. Sometimes that's not always possible, but it's the goal. The sites rotate. Money goes toward the EKC banquet. Overall the EKC does a great job promoting area football.
