Pick-six

Cross is a tremendous athlete. Fleming was without two starters tonight (WR/DB and TB/LB) and fought to hard to have a chance to win.

Fleming left some points off the board tonight offensively but the defense didn't play bad. Radio had Fleming with over 300 yards of offense and Harrison with less than 100 total (including 38 yards on 33 carries).

Who wins this matchup? Fleming is trying to build off their week 1 win and Harrison is trying to bounce back from their loss.

They return 8 starters on each side of the ball. Evan Conley returns as a Wr/Db. Having 4 returning offensive line starters should be a positive.

Final from Liberty.

Cropper is not playing at Fleming County this season. He is focusing on baseball.

Fleming County (2-1) travels to Rowan County (1-2) on 9-12. Who wins this border battle?

Fleming moves to 2-0 on the season. They were 1-9 last year. The score was Harrison 21 Fleming 6 in the second quarter and Fleming came back to make it 22-21 at the half. Fleming would stretch the lead to 50-21 in the 4th before Harrison scored to make it 50-27. Fleming scored 44 straight points to put it away at one point.

They have a pretty good atmosphere. They have fireworks etc... The team has struggled some as of late but hoping they can get back on track this year.

Harrison County travels to Flemingsburg on Friday to play Fleming County. Harrison is coming off a 47-14 loss to Henry County and Fleming County is coming off a 20-13 win over Casey County. I think both teams are trying to get things back on track after rough seasons in 2024.

Nicholas County is currently installing a turf field.

East has the best overall team in district 6. They have the best chance of any of the teams of beating Lloyd but it will still be a huge challenge. Lloyd is, overall, way more athletic and has more team speed. They can strike quick. In order for East to win, they will have to slow the game down and score every opportunity they get. They will need some of those time consuming drives they are known for this year. They have the horses on the oline to do it.

Who didn’t play against Fleming when they played East Carter? Fleming losing their best 2 players early in the game against Lloyd was huge. Not saying they were going to beat Lloyd with them but it certainly changed the game.

Once Johnson (2) and Trent (20) left the game for Fleming, it was over. Not saying it wouldn’t have ended similarly, but it was 7-7 when Johnson left the game and 13-7 when Trent left. Congratulations to Lloyd. They have a heckuva team!

Fleming came out hot and had a 40-0 lead at the half. Their defense held Nicholas County to 9 yards in the half. The second half was mainly younger kids. Fleming went to the air more in this game and showed they are more than just the Austin Trent show.
