Let's list some of the largest "turn-around's" from the Regular season game and the Playoff game between two teams.

 

Example:

 

1999 Reg. season: Bellevue 17 Beechwood 0

1999 Playoffs: Beechwood 35 Bellevue 0

 

2000 Reg. season: Beechwood 14 NewCath 0

2000 Playoffs: NewCath 17 Beechwood 14

 

2004 Reg. season: Dixie 31 Boone Co 20, Conner 42 Boone Co 6

2004 Playoffs: Boone Co. 10 Dixie 7, Boone Co 38 Conner 6

Bardstown beat Bethlehem 28-0 last year in the regular season, but Bethlehem came back in the second round of the playoffs to knock off Bardstown 23-14.

For the teams that win the second game, they are truly great memories.......

Monroe County beat Glasgow last year on the final week of the season, 19-0. Monroe got the #1 seed while Glasgow got the #4. The next week Glasgow knocked off Monroe 28-20.

Also last year, McLean County beat Metcalfe County 7-6 during the final week of the season. Metcalfe (the #1 seed) proceeded to rout McLean (the #4) in the first round of the playoffs, 40-6.

L.C.A. beat Raceland last season (at Raceland) and Raceland beat L.C.A. at their place in the 2nd round of the playoffs (district championshp).

Also last year, McLean County beat Metcalfe County 7-6 during the final week of the season. Metcalfe (the #1 seed) proceeded to rout McLean (the #4) in the first round of the playoffs, 40-6.

 

If Metcalfe was the 1 seed and McLean the 4, that means Metcalfe had their spot already assured, and may have sandbagged against a team that had a lot more to lose.

Trigg County lost to Fort Campbell and Caldwell County during the regular season last year. They beat Fort Campbell on the road in the first round of the playoffs and beat Caldwell on the road in the second round to win the district championship.

I know that in 1997, HHS beat CCH during the regular season and lost to CCH in the playoffs, in "The Mud Bowl."

 

Also, back in 2001, HHS beat CCH (badly) during the regular season and lost a close one to CCH in the playoffs.

1993: Conner Vs. Highlands

Regular Season:

Highlands 31

Conner 14

 

Playoffs:

Conner 29

Highlands 26 (OT)

I think when two teams are somewhat equal .. it is tough to beat a team twice in one year.

I know Pikeville beat Hazard 42-6 last year in the regular season, and lost 15-14 in the playoffs.

Its going to happen again this year to... even tho Dayton beat bellevue in the regular season I cant see them doing it twice in a row.... Bellevue will take the win this friday night.

Happened to Lincoln County last year I believe as well. The bigger question is will it happen to Lincoln County again this year?
