Final.

Hendo takes its first lead of the night with two minutes left to play and then holds on for the win.

Great game here!  Don't honk much separates these teams and you can throw in Daviess County too!

Apollo driving all the way down to the 9 before fumbling.  They gave this one away.  This is how Hendo plays...they want it ugly and beat you by 5 points.

I feel like Apollo is still working to overcome a trend from the last couple of years of putting themselves in a position to win against a beatable opponent and then starting to play “not to lose,” as opposed to “going for the kill.” It was repetitive last season, as Warren Central (should have been an easy victory that was closer than the score would show), Henderson County (ahead at half, injured QB didn’t help), Marshall County (another one win that should not have been close but went down to the wire), and Daviess County (I believe lost in final 2 minutes after leading most of game) were prime examples. The same case could be made for the playoff loss to McCracken as MCHS was without their top offensive threat and the regular season contest was all offense.

Several things I’ve witnessed on the sidelines the first four games of this season make me believe Coach Edge will correct that. There are great athletes here, and the strength and conditioning program is second-to-none, but the mental game is so important. 

I concur @wrn1979.  Step on the throat.  Lovinsky and Hogg are too good behind one of the best Offensive lines in the state.
