Shaping up to be another classic. Someone monitor that water bill at the stadium though. With this forecast hopefully it won’t need the usual watering to slow folks down like it did last time Beechwood was there. ?
 

come on, laugh it’s funny. Good luck to both teams and Congrats on another classic to be….

It takes 500.00 to stream the semifinal round. We have already paid that, and we will be live from War Memorial on Friday. Thanks to all the kind people who donated so that we can be on the air. GO BIG RED!

(Cardinal red, that is ?)

Fantastic!

I do have a story here, last night (Saturday night) I had a very wealthy alum of Beechwood reach out to me wanting to know about the Red Helmet Video Broadcast and what it was going to take to make it happen.  Then he saw this post by you and apparently had is midnight snack and went to bed. ?

Thanks so much for doing this @GBR!

I don't think there is a team that can go to Mayfield and win. It also seems like they are the only school in KY that still has a grass field. 

Mayfield 35- Beechwood 28

Most of Louisville publics still have grass fields. 

This is KHSAA website. Goes back to 2002. I also know that Mayfield beat BW in the 95 state championship game. That would be 9-2 record. Recent success yes, kryptonite no. I can’t see where the games were played over the years but I know the only 2 wins recently were not at War Memorial so I can say BW has never won at War Memorial. It’s tough to do.

Thank you all I wanted to know  was the series record with it being 9-2 that means at one point it was 9-0...not saying kriptonite or ducking anyone but both are pretty good records against a good program like Beechwood...when you factor in Mayfield has won at Beechwood and Beechwood has never won at Mayfield it gets interesting....forgot about the 95 championship also thanks for correcting me...not sure about watering the field but I do remember that being mentioned on this site...again in my opinion Beechwood is KING of 2A with 3 straight until someone beats them.... and beating Mayfield at Mayfield appears to be a tall task even for them...good luck to both teams and it appears the weather is going to be nice....

Beechwood is 2-8 against Mayfield. There are 9 games on that list and the other is the ‘95 state championship game. Beechwood has never won at Mayfield. They were 0-8 all time until winning the last 2. Tigers will have to play their absolute best game of the year to win on Friday.

Ballard is the only one I can think of that’s turf?

Donation coming from this Tiger fan. I really enjoyed your LCA game broadcast. Perfect blend of homer/fan and honesty.

Subject for another thread, but If so, that's ridiculous.

 

How old is War Memorial Stadium?

Built in 1948 if I’m not mistaken.

Ahhhh, so it's not just a clever name.

You know what the semi finals at War Memorial means. Camp Cardinal and a pig roast.
