Sacred Heart vs. Lexington Catholic

 

Ohio County vs. Highlands

Gunner, who do you like?

Don't know about Gunner, but look for LexCath vs The School from Ft. Thomas to be in the finals with I think the team from Ft. Thomas taking the Trophy Home. As I said when NDA played the Team from Ft. Thomas in the Regional Finals, the winner will be my choice to win the whole show......

 

Go BlueBirds........

Games postponed this evening for rain. Strange considering Georgetown has had less than one half an inch of rain... Field is in very good condition as well. Girls games have been pushed to Friday. Silly.

Gunner, this will certainly hurt the gate big time, as both LexCath and The School from Ft. Thomas will be playing Football games that night.

 

My guess is Gerogetown is concerned about their Football field, and the KHSAA is just going along with it.

 

If the quarter finals are moving to Friday, when are the finals going to be played Saturday? With no days rest? Strange indeed......

I think you are spot on old guy. Which is kind of surprising considering that the football team has one game left at home this season(however I do not know how the NAIA playoffs work, so they may have more home games that would be a legit concern). What was surprising was the rationale for not moving everything back a day. The boys are supposed to play Thursday night and the reason that was given for not moving everyone is that this way it only effects 4 teams instead of 8. The final is still set for Saturday night so one team will be playing on 24 hours rest the other on 22 hours. That would seem to be a little more of a safety concern to me than the .36 inches of rain Georgetown received today. We were told that the field was under water. I spoke with several people who said the field was wet, but not under water. The field is actually in much better condition this year than it was last year so it should be fine for Friday even after the boys play on it on Thursday. Like we discussed in a previous thread, thankfully the game will not be decided by how many people there are in the stands but by those on the field and I would like for the game to be played under the best possible field conditions even if that means playing on Friday night. What might be an option is to move the girls final to a Monday night(to give an extra couple days between the two biggest mathes of the year)??? Not sure if that is being considered though. Bottom line is that sometimes the weather just sucks!!!

The no time to rest between games will help LexCath the most. Your girls will either have to spend the night in a Hotel, or drive back and forth to Ft. Thomas which will make for some rather tired young ladies either way, with the LexCath girls sleeping in ther own bed within minutes after their game on Fiday night is over.....

 

Why not play the game Thursday night at another location in either Lexington or NKy. The field at St. Henry comes to mind right off the bat...... Great lights, good field.........still in great shape since no football games are played on it, and I believe none of the District, or Regional games were played on it either.......

I believe there are contractual obligations to have the matches played at Georgetown. Thankfully the travel time is not that great, only about 1 hour and 20 minutes to get to Georgetown. Hotel may be an option though for either of the 4 teams.

Just as a matter of note: Scott County High School also uses Georgetown College's field for home football games. I haven't looked at their playoff schedule though.

Anyone know the game times?

As of now, Sacred Heart vs. Lexington Catholic 6pm Friday night. Ohio County vs. Highlands 8pm Friday night.

By moving the games to Friday and competing with high school football, how much will that hurt the attendence?

As of now, Sacred Heart vs. Lexington Catholic 6pm Friday night. Ohio County vs. Highlands 8pm Friday night.

Are you going?

Scott Co. is on the road on Friday. Imagine the possible mess if they were the 2 seed and had a home game friday night.

Sorry, but the field was NOT in good condition. The top layer was very soggy. Sad to say I didn't get the word it was cancelled and went over there. Several spots (worn by football) were terrible. Won't really be much better this weekend but will at least be dry. About time Bengals/Toyota turfed that place.
