I know there are a handful of us in Ohio that not only travel all over Ohio to catch games but we go to different states. 2 of us, that I know of go to several states.

 

Is there anyone from Kentucky who does this?

My father and I do. We've been to games at 105 different stadiums. Our goal is to get to all 222. We try to get somewhere between 5-10 different places each year and never repeat a visit - the playoffs can make for long drives, though!

Hard to pick one,but the Male/Trinity state final back in 2002 has to be one of the best I have watched(Trinity 59-56)

That was the first state final game I ever attended, crazy amazing game!

Last year the game that sticks out to me the most was a 2-0 game with Quaker Valley pulling off a major upset of Aliquippa (PA) I took in four games that day and by far this was the most exciting.

What is the best game you two have seen?

 

Trinity/Male in 2002 was the best game I've ever seen in person.

 

As for games that stand out, not necessarily as the best game, but just as something really memorable:

 

-Rockcastle County beating Highlands 45-6 in 2002 was just incredible. It was hard to believe what I was seeing.

 

-Russell beating Mason County in 2002 when it came an absolute flood at halftime. I'm not sure I've ever been in a harder rain. @ChiefSmoke can confirm.

 

-Underrated game was Christian County beating Warren Central in overtime in the playoffs in 2010. The fire-breathing dragon on the scoreboard was awesome and so was the game.

 

-Franklin County's win over Anderson County in 2012 when Ryan Timmons ran the kickoff back for a touchdown at the buzzer.

 

-Johnson Central winning 8-7 at Ashland in 2015. One of the hardest hitting games I've seen.

Most unique places/memories:

 

-Bellevue: Parked at @Lawnboy13's house and walked over. They played Dayton. Looked at the Cincinnati skyline the whole night.

 

-Bath County: view from the visitor's bleachers toward the setting sun is gorgeous

 

-Central: one of the best places in Kentucky to watch a game. Great atmosphere, great food, great team.

 

-Fort Knox: checking into the base was just a maddening example of inefficiency!

 

-Fulton City: old and almost finished, but glad I got there. They only had 13 players but they fought hard all night.

 

-Highlands: when they had the cannon!

 

-Manual: saw St. X/Male there before X got their new stadium.

 

-Pineville: probably my favorite small school setting in the state. How you almost drive in over top of the stadium is just perfect.

He is referring to game 1 @ Russell. They won 12-7. At Putnam for the quarterfinals, Russell won 11-8. Two very tough losses. Only two of the season. The Red Devils were very good in 2002.

Yes. A downpour. Remember well.

Regular season, mid-September. Dad and I went there on Friday then on to a Pittsburgh Pirates game the next Saturday.

What if BGP had a reception/convention area at the state championships? Would people show up?
