Final.

Lou Moore players took a knee for National Anthem and others turned their back. Loudspeakers didn’t work well for National Anthem so Rockcastle players/fans sung the song for them while they continued standing and Moore kneeling down.

This really motivated the Rock boys as they had never actually witnessed this and what they saw as disrespect.

Rockcastle goes to 2nd round and Lou Moore season ends.

Was this an upset?

WAY TO GO ROCK!!!

Was this an upset?

 

No, but yes.

Rockcastle was 3 seed and Moore was a 2 seed.

First I've heard of a ky high school team kneeling......

I'd say Rockcastle is the better team but having to go to Louisville to play a Moore team that has been fairly solid this year was a tough assignment. Not an upset but a very nice win nonetheless.

Waggener did as a team early last season.

We are going to keep this one about the game, not the pre-game.

Way to go Rock, you represented the County well.

That is conpletely incorrect. Waggener did NOT take a knee as a team during the national anthem. One player did so, and the following week the team discussed the issue and chose to stand in attention for the National Anthem the following week. On the first play of the game the team decided to all take a knee while taking a delay of game penalty, and scored on the ensuing play.

The team chose to show respect to the flag and to those who serve our country so we STOOD. We also chose to make a stand for racial injustices that our young men experience on a daily basis, but we chose a time that could not be interpreted as being disrespectful to the flag.

 

Sorry for the rant but really gets old listening to people's misconceptions.

Thank you for the clarification. I was wrong in my initial response. I should have went back and reviewed what took place before posting.

I never said anything about Waggener, but I’m sure proud The Rock represented their County and Fans respectably in the big city.

Strength killed speed last night and was glad to let a school in Louisville see what it’s like for a bunch of country and farm kids to play football.
