Article from the Bowling Green paper.  Former Owensboro coach Gerald Poynter's grandson will be playing for Bowling Green.  He died Littlefield's freshman year on an Owensboro / Bowling Green gameday.   

Really looking forward to this one!

Made it to Lexington and watched the 3A game.  Now looking forward to the main course.  Going to be a good one!  I'll post early but then likely enjoy this one!

Go Purples!

Hopefully a bunch of us will be sharing during this game, enjoy yourself @Purple88!

My fam is in town and stopping to eat before all of us go over.  I too will be enjoying this one and not posting during game.  Typically I post everything I can during an OHS game, much like my counterpart @Purple88 for BG.  Hoping for a good game!

Yep.  Pointer coached our first championship season in 74 - undefeated.  Fun fact :

 

The last time OHS entered the playoffs undefeated was 1993.  Drew Hall and Joe Tutt - 2 AMAZING players - they had already beaten BG and Warren Central (Does everyone remember the Warren Central days of the 90’s - VERY TOUGH).  Lost to BG at home 20-12 I think.  Pointer coached that team as well.  HOPE HISTORY DOESN’T REPEAT ITSELF!!!  Big tidbit - Mr. Drew Hall, who was the all-everything back on that team is the Devils current Defensive Coordinator!  REDEMPTION??

Owensboro had gutted out a double overtime victory at Rash just under a month before that playoff matchup.  From reading the article, they jumped out to a 12-0 lead in the first half, but BG scored with five seconds left in the half to make it 12-7 at halftime.  BG switched defenses during the break and Owensboro just couldn't get back in the end zone.  That district back in the day was STUPID tough, and then you had the likes of Hopkinsville and Paducah lurking in the playoffs.  Ah, the four class system....

Well it's finally game time!  Going to be a good one!

BG comes out in the traditional gold helmets and pants with white jerseys.

Red Devils out in their traditional black helmets and pants and red jerseys!

About 26 minutes before kickoff!

Lets get it Purples!

The broadcast has started. 

Oboro in black helmets and pants, red jerseys. 

Purples in white jerseys and all gold. 

Really excited to see how this one plays out. You love to see rival schools get together anytime, but when there's a state championship on the line, the stakes go up a hundred fold. 

Anyone else getting buffering issues?

Purples receive and have the ball on their own 25.

When I first turned it on, on the computer stream but not at the current moment.
