I thought coach Wolfe should have kicked field goals in the first half when they were close rather than go for it on 4th down. I know he was trying to put them away, but he could have gone up three scores early. 

 

Congrats to BE they earned this win.

Mike is Travis’ grandfather. 
 

Travis’ father, Brandon, was the QB for that Chargers team. 

Thought that might be the case. Thanks. That was a good team.... Danville was loaded!!

Male pulls the Buffalo hat trick!

4 straight title losses. Is that a record nobody else wanted?

Congrats Bullitt East.

Definitely tough for the Bulldogs. Great run for sure, this being the fifth straight trip, they had to think this was the year after last week and knocking off St. X. Tough for both players and coaches.

One of the best trends in football at all levels the last several years is winning and losing on your terms by going for two.  In other words, not playing a scared game and going for the win instead of kicking the can down the road.  It occasionally leads to some heartbreak when it goes wrong, but I absolutely love the guts to go for it.

Truth. I thought Mayfield should have done it yesterday and I’m happy Bullitt East did go for two today.

Egan for Mr. Football!!! Congrats to Bullit East. Would’ve never guessed at the beginning or even middle of the season the Chargers would be wearing the 6A crown. Well deserved.

He was 20/29 for 286 yards and four touchdowns, plus another 66 yards rushing.

Swinney (118 yards on 22 carries) was good too, but this is all Egan. The early fumbles don't mean a thing.

Congratulations to Bullitt East! What a way to end a season! This marks the first time since 2013 that someone other than Trinity, Male, or St. X won the title.

Last season Bullitt East went 0-2 against Male losing by a combined 22-111

This season Bullitt East went 2-0 against Male winning 24-17 (regular season) and 28-27 (State Championship)

Insane growth by the Chargers in a single season. I don’t think anyone predicted this coming into the year and especially not after week one. 

 

Amazing what happens when you change coaches.

I know they lost '94 AA game to Danville....I officiated that one. Mike Egan was the BE coach. I wonder if maybe the QB was related to him.

Yes, 1st ever….but there will be more in the future.  There is talent in bunches in the Mt Washington youth league

Male won in 2018

Egan is Mr Football….and Coach Kendrick should be coach of the year.  Everyone both in the regular season & in this game kept alluding to he & his staff being inexperienced & potentially outcoached.  It didn’t happen.  I said on this site back in the spring that he is our coach & we’re dang lucky to have him.  Now you see why!  Not a better coach or person I want my son learning from.

Yesssssss!!!!!!!!!!

I've been out getting dinner and hopped on here to see how badly Male beat Bullitt East, but I'm MUCH happier to see that Bullitt won!!!!
