We have a Thursday night special to open up the 2026 Kentucky High School Football season.

I know nothing about these teams, who wins this one?

Also, the game is available (paid) on the NFHS Network:

The Bomber’s last win was back in October 2024, a 42-34 game with the Pilots of Fulton County. They graduated their top player from last season but they have a few JR’s that can play. Numbers are up, should be a fun next couple of years for Ballard.

The Rebels have struggled as well, 1-9 last season with their only win being in this matchup that ended 32-28 on the road. 4th season in a row where TCC will be starting the year with a new Head Coach. Another rough season ahead for the boys in Elkton, very tough district as well with Caldwell, Mayfield, and Trigg.

I’ll take Coach Hedges and his Bombers this Thursday night, 36-20.

Bump.

36-0 BM and not sure on time.

Running clock in Elkton.

Bombers up 36-0 2Q, 4 minutes remaining until half.

Congrats to the Bombers on what looks like a win.

Wow maybe that’s a sign they are going to be a little better this season.

42-0 in the 3rd.

48-6

Good win for Ballard.They scored more points tonight then they did all of last season.

Not sure if the Bombers looked good or if TCC was just that bad. Turnovers on both sides, sloppy football and a prolonged 1H. Regardless a win is a win and I know Ballard has to be excited about that, first one in nearly 2 years.

Go Bombers Go!!!!
