Butler County 80 Todd County Central 0
There is absolutely no justifiable reason to humiliate a team like that. That is totally disrespectful.

Buccaneers rookie, ex-LSU standout Jack Pyburn among 16 suing for possible college football return
This stuff is becoming insane, now this: https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/georgia-ag-sec-expel-lsu-former-nfl-players/ The State Attorney General for Georgia, is telling the SEC commissioner if he has to kick LSU out of the league. Leave it up to Lane Kiffin to get everything up in a whirlwind.

Owensboro Catholic 63 Apollo 41
If there is a game that Coach Edge would like to win, it would be this one. I can't put my finger on it, but something tells me that Coach Edge and the Eagles find a way to win this game. Who knows it maybe another OT game.

KHSAA Commissioner Julian Tackett to retire
While we are on the topic of state tournament venues, softball should have never been taken out of Owensboro, and should never be single elimination.

BluegrassPreps.com Class 5A Football Rankings 8/24
Don't get me wrong that was a big win for O'boro, but don't fool yourself, this is not a typical St. X team. As a matter of fact, this St. X team will probably not have a winning record this season I'd not be surprised to see them 1-5 by the midseason mark. Kinda like OC win at BG last year, good win but by the end of the season, we found out it was not a typical BG team.

Buccaneers rookie, ex-LSU standout Jack Pyburn among 16 suing for possible college football return
Jack Pyburn has signed a contract with Tampa as a undrafted free agent and now is suing the NCAA to go back to college football, along with 16 other individuals. What are your thoughts on this? I have a few but want to see if I'm thinking in the wrong vein.

2026 Mr. Football: Off-Season Discussion
I for one, and I know I'm probably in the minority here, but I hate topics like this, just like I hate all of the preseason Heisman talk. Who knows that what a kid may come out of nowhere and have a season of a lifetime, but with all the talk going on we have eliminated 99% of the rest of the players in the state. It becomes a popularity contest, instead of the best player in the state and not the best player on the best team in the state. I know, I'm in the minority, so I'll simply move to the back of the room with my popcorn and all the discussion to continue.

8th Region Off-Season Discussion (2026-2027)
That quote was actually the play that got them into the state playoffs. 25 split cross fire pass. Keep in mind Nick had the fastest kid in the state at tailback (Kerry Marberry) and a 3-time all-state receiver, who pitched for the Chicago Cubs name Tom Hulderman. I remember watching them play football as a little boy!

- KHSAA Approves 35-second Shot Clock for 2027-28 season
Simple, you have a older group of officials who still want to be involved in the game this is the way, pay them $50 a game and let them run the shot clock.- Open Job: North Hardin
I don't know the whole story, but my question is simply this: "When are Administrators going to put parents in their place and quit allowing them to run off good coaches?" At some point the inmates (parents) have to quit being in charge of the insane asylum.- Open Job: Daviess County

Not impressive numbers in the least.- Sorsby granted an injunction
I think for the most part all of us on this forum have a consensus agreement that this is wrong on so many levels; however, here is the question that I think has to be answered. Since the NCAA's ruling was overturned in the court system, what can now save what is left of college sports? We all know our judicial system is broken, and this ruling today further proves that point. I do know the Commissioner of the Big XII is having meeting with those in the Big XII for the possibility of punishing Texas Tech, if they play him in any games, now what that looks like I have no frame of reference. In my mind, enough is enough. I mean this kept the baseball all-time hits leader from the HOF, but yet we are going to allow a kid to play this year. It's just wrong.- Frank Riherd steps away from KHSAA scoreboard to due to health
Just a thought here, with all that Mr. Riherds has done for the KHSAA and high school sports, it would be nice to see him inducted into the KHSAA Hall of Fame, so that he could receive the due recognition. In my opinion, that would be an honorable thing to do!- Atherton's Zai'Vion Meads commits to West Virginia University
Welcome to Mountaineer family big guy!- What is the long-term viability of the current NIL Market?
I was reading an article where Curt Cignetti was being interview and he was sounding an alarm about the current state of college football. He was casting doubt of the long-term viability of the NIL market. He was not against players being paid, but that the long-term viability at the current rate, that Universities will not be able to financially survive. The 12-team CFP field last year along posted a combine $721 million in operating expenses. Which is over a 20% increase from the year prior. If it goes up another 20% then the universities are 2 1/2 years away from having an NIL budget that's more than the TV revenue for all the universities. Then it will be to late to have serious questions about how that gets funded. Which leads me to this, what do you think needs to be done to level the playing field for the CFP moving forward? Thoughts?- 3rd Region Softball Tournament
