Update?

BG dropped two wide-open TDs on two different drives. The play calling gave BG the chance to hang 21 on an excellent X defense. I can't call that "suspect". Also worth noting, X scored 21 points on: - A blocked punt (credit X special teams for this) - A fumble immediately following a dropped sure TD - A 4th-down run where the runner was stopped, the whistles were blown, and then, all of a sudden, the runner spun out of the pile, and the ref panicked and signaled a TD I was just one of those nights. I think this BG team is better, and I also think they're going to be VERY good in the future.

The biggest issue I see right now is that the teams aren't hyperlinked to their schedules and results on the scoreboard.

Owensboro absolutely dominated X. They beat them handily essentially without a QB. About the time ol buddy for the Devils was taking it up the sideline for 99, the doors were 100% being blown off.

X folks… how y'all feeling about this?

Owensboro is legit. That said, this is not a good X team by X standards. I think the real test of where Owensboro stands comes next week against CAL.

Bump

A good Simon Kenton is good for BGP. It adds spice to the 6A message board plate.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here. Owensboro blows the doors off X, 35-7. That prediction should make me some friends.

I think we can all agree that Owensboro, Scott Co., Pulaski, and Atherton are entering the season as some of the best teams their schools have seen in the last 25 years. Of those four, Scott Co. is the one I am a little dubious about. They just don't seem to have something that let's them get over the hump. This is their year, if there ever was one, though; they are loaded. Owensboro seems head and shoulders above the rest right now. I'm just not buying Woodford; in their playoff losses, they have given up 49 (2025), 55 (2024), 60 (2023), 21 (2022), and 46 (2021) over the last five years. I think they're a good team, but they're gonna have to at least get to the big game before I think of them in the conversation with the previous four. Past those teams, you have BG. What they come out looking like remains to be seen. One thing I am sure of, after the last fifteen years in which BG has eight 5A state titles and a runner-up, the Purples will be back... sooner rather than later.

24-10 was the Final I heard. No info beyond a score though.

This. I distinctly remember the light clicking sound of my helmet tapping the defender's as we both waited for the signal to unleash Armageddon on the two to three centimeters that separated us.

BGHS Class of 2029 QB Anthony Davis has recently picked up offers from EKU and U of L. Camp season seems to be off to a good start for this rising KY star.

Cooper will be fine. As others have pointed out, Borchers has been there, had to go back to the drawing board, and then gotten back there. Dude and his staff can coach, and the talent pool in Boone Co. is deep. Now, will they ever have another dad with the Facebook-rant talent that they had in 2024? I don't think so. Dude was a one-in-a-generation ranter.

X finds a way to lose this one. And to be honest, a Finals with Grayson Co. in it is what the Sweet Sixteen needs.
