If anybody ever needs me on a Friday night -- or for any Saturday event -- hit me up.

 

I've got a day job in Shepherdsville from 7-4 on Monday-Friday, so I'm available.

 

Will also be doing the Danville at Campbellsville football game for the Danville AM News later this season.

 

Last fall, I called high school football and soccer for HCEC-TV in Hardin County, wrote five articles for the Courier-Journal (three soccer, one golf, one cross country) and took photos/videos for KYTrackXC.com.

 

I'm also a creator of one of the best football stat sheets known to man. Several fellow Kentucky journalists use a stat sheet I made.

 

I'm also cheaper than many freelancers (I'll do it for free depending on when/where/what the assignment is.

Great breakdown!

Add Somersets Jordan Doan 16 rush for 155 yds and a TD along with Mason Reese 15 rush for 103 yds and 2 TDs to the rushing and it looks good to me :)

Souths Litten also had 135 yds rushing and 2 tds in 1st half he passed for about 260

Hayes 5 catches for 91 and a Td and 1rush for 56 all in 1 half

Not sure how to edit an article after I post it.

 

Had it just been a regular thread, I could change it.

Next week I'm adding a Versatility/Dual Purpose area for people who score multiple ways.

Is this best of the Bluegrass or just some of the best of the Bluegrass?
