OC is going to miss Walker; don't know which year McGraw is but he is a fine player.

OC gets a lot of credit for not rolling over, which they easily could have. Even though winning was out of reach, the Senior QB played a 4th Quarter he can be proud of.

That is what I was trying to point out to the Corbin fan. The game was over long before the clock expired. OC was able to pad the stats and end their season on a respectable note, but that is all there was to it.

Congratulations Rockets & Good Luck next week!!!!

I was at the game and stated what happened. If you had a better view from Corbin of exactly how it looked, thats cool.

Thank You

Fort Campbell was in the coast mode, (probably too soon), don't take too much from the final score. The game was not as close as the 13 point difference may suggest. I think we got a little bored with OC and started thinking about Mornroe County about a quarter too early. The players probably got too lax and I am sure they will pay for it in practice.

Is Monroe County in the Eastern or Central time zone?

We will behave ourselves and we are looking forward to next Friday!!

Fort Campbell wins, just too much Antonio Andrews.

An honest assessment of the Fort Campbell program by Owensboro Catholic Head Coach John Edge. Check this article out and see where he rates FC compared to 5A powers Bowling Green and Owensboro and 6A Daviess Co. Just so you know; OC and FC do not like each other much at all, so Coach Edge's opinion should serve as an attention getter in N. Kentucky. http://kentuckynewera.com/articles/2008/11/26/sports/free/doc492cf6047ee41436268687.txt

I remember the Trigg public address announcer and his comments, unbelieveable. He, the officials, and the Trigg players were having a hard time dealing with a 59 - 7 beat-down on their home turf.

I understand what you are saying and I agree 100% with you on the need to strengthen the schedule. No offense intended from me to you. Have a great Thanksgiving and good luck to your team also!

Micah was a lot of fun to watch on both sides of the ball!!

You are beating a dead horse on strength of schedule; I agree with you! FC is in a District which includes Todd County, Hancock County and they can't change that. Because of tradition, FC will not break free of the Army Bowl with Ft. Knox, which is easier than a practice scrimmage. Paducah Tilghman and Mayfield both were ranked high in the early polls, but failed to perform on the field. Nobody in Western KY has had more postings on BGP about FC increasing their strength of schedule than me. The schedule will improve starting next season. I believe we will have Hopkinsville, a big school from Evansville, IN and Kenwood from Clarksville, TN and possibly a school from Nashville, TN. That being said, for anybody to under estimate Fort Campbell's championship caliber football program two years in a row would be sheer folly. History does have the capability of repeating itself.

I think I know where you are going with the question. The Hounds will have the edge at home on a natural surface.

It sounds like you have an awesome community! Hopefully your Falcons and our Falcons can get it done on the field this Friday night. Since FC has to travel for the semi-final, Monroe County sounds like the place to visit.

No doubt the 'Breds are solid! My posting was in response to the comment regarding NCC repeating this year just like last year. Had to point out that NCC isn't the defending champ and when they did win their most recent title in '06 they were a 1A team. Should Fort Campbell be fortunate enough to play in the title game, you will see a team that is different from last year's squad. They are the fastest, most explosive offensive team in 2A - not just a couple of players, but a host of players. (541 points scored, the most in 2A) On Defense, they have given up a measly 89 points through 12 games, a considerable portion of them allowed by the JV team. (Least amount of points given up in 2A) Fort Campbell has not lost to a 2A team since the playoffs in November 2006 to Trigg County. (Two years - no 2A losses)

I am exactly saying that if Fort Campbell and the 'Breds play in the championship it will be the same result as last year. Please check the official records for the 2007 2A champs - I am pretty sure you will see Ft. Campbell listed as champs and the 'Breds as runner-up. When I walked out of Papa John's the final was FC 21 - NCC 7, zero time left on the clock.

I am going with the Rockets at home in a close one. I will be cheering for the winner of this game to go the rest of the way in the playoffs. If I wasn't going to the Fort Campbell vs. O Cath game, I would make the drive to Marion to watch this one. It could be one of the best playoffs games this year in any class.

We like it that way, just like last year! Different year, same result pending!

Falcons by at least three TDs. The Falcons will not be looking past the Aces on Friday night. The Seniors on this team were Freshman in '05 when OC upset a Micah Johnson led Falcon team, that by far had the most talent of any team in 2A. Other than the state championship, there isn't a more meaningful game for the Falcons than OC. There is still a lot of unhappy memories from past playoff runs, which were abruptly ended by OC. I look for the Falcons to exact some sweet payback in this game.

If you don't have plans, you can pack a turkey sandwich and drive down for the Falcons vs. O Cath.

(Falcons vs. Falcons) I hope it works out that way also, Good Luck!

You have as nice a Thanksgiving as possible in Afghanistan and stay safe!! I think you will be happy with what you hear on the radio next Friday night. Coach Berner and his staff had the wishbone covered. Murray should have known that three yards and a cloud of dust, (actually frozen dirt), wouldn't keep pace with the Falcons.
