I originally tried to find some info on this game somewhere else, but the audience here at BGP is much larger, maybe I will have better luck, below is my original post on this game.

 

So I am working on a pretty big project to compile all KY HS football history into a single database and as I was working through 1989 I found what appears to be a gem of a game.

 

Someone who knows about this game please give me the skinny. I know from my research that going into this game that PT was considered 1st or 2nd in the class depending on what poll or rating you are looking at and Bowling Green was about 3rd.

 

What went down? Four overtimes and a final score of 7-6 on the books? So these two teams scored 27 (PT) and 49 (BG) in round 1 and held each other 0-0 for 7 quarters? Was it bad weather or just one hell of a defensive ball game?

Thanks! Looks like it must have been a pretty good defensive battle. Though looks like PT could have put it away in regulation if not for the flags.

So is this just a personal project of yours? Or anything you're intending on publishing anywhere?

 

For what it's worth, I know @gchs_uk9 is a pretty good resource for a lot of the football playoff history in Kentucky.

Well long story incoming, as a software engineer and web developer I despise the KHSAA website (if anyone from KHSAA lurks around here, your website needs work it's not 2005 anymore )

 

My goal is to compile all of the data I can and build a better alternative to what the KHSAA offers (football only). There are several resources on the web where you can find bits and pieces of information about different things but no one-stop-shop. I want to make that one-stop-shop available to everyone.

 

Currently, the database I am building has win-loss records, district win-loss records, playoff win-loss records, district standings, district titles, regional championships, state championships, runners up Class/Region/District/Subdistrict alignments, playoff brackets, playoff scores/results from 1987-present.

 

I also have some spreadsheets with full or almost full schedules and results for Belfry back to the 1920s, Tates Creek back to 1965, Highlands back to about 1915 or so, once I get the above data compiled my next goal will be to compile as much info as I can about each school individually.

 

I also plan to track each school's Litkenhous Rating, Pre and Post Season AP rankings, and any other rankings/ratings I can find.

 

I have several documents, newspaper articles, etc that will get me data farther back than that.

 

After all, that is done my next task will be to build out a database of statistics for teams and players.

 

Previously I ran the Belfryfootball.com website but had to shut it down due to foreign hackers trying to gain access daily. There was personal information about Belfry Alumni on the backend of the site where people had registered to keep up and I didn't want to compromise that private information to foreign entities. I loved running the site and digging into the history of KY HS FB was so much fun that I've been looking for a new hobby project since I shut it down and this seems to be the one that gets me most in gear.

Believe me, once I get to the point I need it I will be begging any and all for info they have.

ATL,

 

Remind me to upload that Belfry spreadhseet I have (same as you have), and send it to you qith some of the additional tabs I calculated.

 

I started breaking it down as Belfry vs. Geographical Region and Belfry vs. Privates and so forth.

Believe me, once I get to the point I need it I will be begging any and all for info they have.

 

Well if/when you're interested, I have a list of all-time game results for Covington Catholic with the exception of two games: 1980 Cov Cath vs. Simon Kenton and 1989 Cov Cath vs. Dixie Heights. The 1980 game was postponed from a Saturday afternoon game to Sunday because of weather, and the 1989 game was a Saturday game as well, so they didn't get any coverage in the newspapers.

I most definitely want that data :clap:

The 1989 game vs Dixie was a Friday Night at Dixie. CCH won 10-7 in OT. I don’t recall who had the ball first in OT, but Steve Schulte kicked the game winning field goal. Justin Kruer intercepted Matt Bloemer’s pass attempt in the end zone for CCH, but I don’t recall if that was for the win, or to give CCH possession and ultimately, Schulte’s field goal.

 

They played on a Saturday in 1988, also a 10-7 win in Park Hills for CCH. Kevin Butler kicked a very late field goal to win in regulation.

Perfect. Thanks for that @Samcro!
