So these "bowl" games that only involve a single game, and are held at one of the teams' home field, and take place on a regular day at a regular time. Can someone explain what the deal is there?

 

Do the sponsors get anything out of it, aside for having their name attached to a high school football game? Do the teams...say Pineville and Paris, playing each other on September 6th at Pineville in the "Laurel Bowl"...this will make the 5th straight year that those two teams have played each other, so I'm gonna assume the game would have taken place already, "bowl game" or not. So what makes that a bowl, and why?

Just a way for businesses to support the local school and get some advertising from it.

Every home game at Mercer County has a sponsor. It helps us raise funding for our program. The sponsor chooses a Hog, Dog & Titan to recognize at the end of each quarter. Those sponsorships have really helped our program and it has helped involve our community on Friday nights. This makes 5 straight seasons with all the same sponsors. Has been very successful and a huge positive.

KOB bowl at Fairdale Bullitt East and Fairdale play on 8/24 also. Game times are 6:00 and 8:00

Thanks for the update, @dawgs83. So there will be two games played at Fairdale on Saturday for the KOB, but then nothing will be taking place on Friday night?

Thanks! That really helps with some real insight about what I was asking.

Correct!

Correct!

 

Good deal. Thanks!

Does anyone know the schedule and name for the bowl Henry Clay is hosting on Aug. 23? It's Henry Clay-Simon Kenton in the opener and Johnson Central-Lafayette in the nightcap.

I just looked on the K.H.S.A.A. page and they have the Bluegrass Bowl listed as a single game on Friday, August 30th. That game is the Highlands vs. St. Xavier. That games is slated for 6 PM. I know Lexington Catholic is playing Bishop Chatard (IN). I am guessing the kickoff will be shortly after the first game. Can anyone confirm? Thanks.
