I've been told that Knox County's Middleschool football team beat Johnson County today to advance to the state semi-finals. I was unaware their was a championship format for football at this level. Can anyone shed some light this for me?

I've learned their semi final game will be against Farnsley. A quick check with Google tells me that's a Jefferson County Magnet school. Any info?

The other side of the bracket is Lone Oak and S.Pulaski Co. Middle.

Williamsburg Middle beat Cumberland 38-14 to advance.

I did the PA the other day for a Bardstown-TK Stone middle school playoff game. The organizer said it had been going on about 3 years. There is something called the Kentucky Middle School Football Association, and they play an elimination tournament with the top 2 schools from each district advancing. I didn't know it existed either, but I got a free pork burger and coke out of the deal, and the game was entertaining, so its all good.

Yeah, apparently there are 3 divisions plus a 7th grade playoff. Seems to be a lot of schools involved but I'm curious as to if this is truly a representation of the best in the state. I did see a lot of feeder schools for some of better high school teams involved.

That's it. I believe I saw the name TK Stone mentioned as a D2 participant that was eliminated by Corbin, maybe?

Southern Pulaski Middle School won the championship game over Farnsley..... You can watch it here.. http://www.ihigh.com/ckysports/broadcast_134700.html?silverlight=1

Corbin won the Division 2 8th grade title beating TK Stone in the semifinals 38-0 and Lexington Catholic in the finals 56-28. They also won it as 7th graders last year when there was only one division. The Hounds have a pretty good group coming up to the high school level next year.

I think Williamsburg won the small school division. That coupled with the Corbin and Southern Pulaski wins plus Knox County losing in the simi-finals speaks well of the future of football in our area.
