Also, from host Al Mayo:

 

Hey folks--it's been great using all the nominees (last year) week after week on the show, and we'll continue to use them for the foreseeable future. I wanted to remind you of a couple things. When you nominate a player, I need his height, weight, and class designation (Freshman, Sophomore, Etc). I also need the stats to be correct. Just telling me it looked like he ran for over a hundred yards won't do it. Please include all pertinent numbers like carries, pass attempts, completions, yardage gained, number of tackles--you all understand what I need. Otherwise, I have to track these numbers down. Not that I mind doing the legwork, but I normally save this part of the show for last, so I can take nominees until the last possible hour, so I just don't have the time to look it all up. I'll usually pull the information from here by Thursday afternoon, so try to have your candidates nominated by about 2:00pm Thursdays. I couldn't be happier with the information you've all provided, and I'm looking forward to continuing our association with BGP!

KNN High School Scoreboard Show

Our KNN Scoreboard Show/Bluegrass Preps.com Player of the Week is Caldwell County sophomore quarterback Will Barnes. Will completed 13 of 19 passes for 261 yards and four touchdowns in the Tigers' 45-7 win over Webster County. In the process, Barnes set Caldwell single-season records for passing yards (1,831) and touchdowns (23).

For this week, I nominate Bethlehem's 6'1" 210 lb. senior tailback Billy Jackson, who had 36 carries for 168 yards and 10 tackles on defense to lead the Eagles to an upset 23-14 win over top-ranked Bardstown at Bardstown.

last chance guys--I need these today!
