Conner is traveling down to Georgetown yet again to face the Scott County Cardinals to open the playoffs.

Last season, Scott County won in a barn burner 47-40. Now Junior Timmy Emongo had a key interception to ice the game, but then senior Buddy Collins was the star. He played an excellent game in only his 3rd game all year to give the Cards their opening round victory.

The skill level of the teams are much further apart this season. Scott County played a challenging schedule and managed a 7-3 record. Conner played a pretty tough schedule as well, but lost all of their games vs good opponents, Usually via running clock. 

Scott County is eyeing round four with Cooper. The series is currently 2-1 Cooper, but SC has their best team since the 2022 team that was able to running clock Cooper. Cooper is also slightly down after losing some elite firepower to graduation.

On the other side, Conner is looking at an opportunity to play Woodford if I’m not mistaken. If they are able to pull off an upset this would be a monumental moment for their program. SC has been a throne in their side for a few years now, they would love to finally win one.

Will SC roll Conner, and confirm another date in Union? Or will Conner upset SC marking the Cards first round 1 loss since ‘07?

Running clock in this one.

Afraid you are right.  But hope the Cougars know they stood tall this season.  They made Dave Trosper proud.  Thanks Coach Rash.

This game will be similar to their meeting two seasons ago.

I predict 56-7 Cards.

Get JV in fast. You went into Union with all your top players dead last year, can’t have that happen again!

Scott Co. 49-7.

Emongo is a stud - I look for Scott to Roll here and try to outscore Cooper round 2.

GAME TIME HAS CHANGED!!

The game will now be on THURSDAY at 7 PM.

Smart move with the weather coming in. Seems like it is going to be pretty gross Friday. 

Bump.

Has it ever been this common state wide to move games up a day the week of the game? Especially a day or so before playing on Thursday.

Also. Conner's biggest disadvantage is not being able to run the ball or stop the run. Any chance that changes in the next hour and a half?

I think many coaches/teams are smarter about the weather now.

On tangent, I am glad we went to the wet-bulb temperature measurement because now it is never too hot to play, just too wet.

Lol I myself appreciate it what it does for the quality of the game but if its wet and nasty on Championship weekend they will not be moving games around.

I think all the teams/coaches that moved the games to Thursday all have the best of intentions.  

And at least in NKY, both nights look good.
