Scott County's playoff experience and high level of confidence having beaten the Broncos previously will be more than enough to defeat the upstarts.

I am pleasantly surprised by this outcome. Now, go get those Tigers!

Nicely done, DeSales!

This a very nice win for the Dragons. I am very happy for Coach Reed and his staff/players.

Great win for the Bruins.

And yet Rocky still won out! Reasons Trinity will win: Rondale Moore-you cannot stop this young man. Nick Bohn-is unflappable at QB Cody Auxier, Arak McDuffey, Stephen Herron, Nick Cardosi, Ethan Hull- five very talented defenders that play well together. Trinity players/staff are more familiar with coaching/playing "big games". Trinity is at home!

Metzmeier was the first Tigers RB to go down with an injury.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I can't thank you enough! The Panthers are my second favorite team right now! Best of luck versus the Bruins.

This game is a "no contest". Simon Kenton will be fortunate to score and break their current four game shutout streak versus Trinity. It is predicted to be mid 60s as a high with 40% chance of rain.....we'll see how that works for the 'Neers.

52-0 three quarter beat down of Ryle (only a scrimmage-played under game rules). The scoring "drives" for the Fighting Camels were official aided. If the receivers were allowed to push off like that, how did you ever lose 5 games? 55 of the 63 yard drive came on "penalties". These Franklin county officials were simply out of their league working a 6A playoff game.

Trinity has 700 reserved seats to hustle at $10.00 each. Season ticket holders were being made aware they need to purchase by Tuesday or the seats go on sale to general public on Wednesday. There is no "polite" way to beat anyone 51-13. Simon Kenton was killing Ballard 38-6 at the time. Again, your feelings are hurt. Only Dixie Heights and Highlands own victories over the Shamrocks from the northern Kentucky area. You do have a terrific wrestling program.

I am a little surprised at the lack of activity on this thread. Hey Panthers, Trinity Nation would really appreciate an upset in this one. The Mustangs did knock the Rocks out of the baseball tourney this past spring, but the football fans don't feel the need to drive to Paducah to exact revenge.

I take my voting very seriously. Based on normal voting trends on this blog, that is a large number of votes against Trinity. The polls are public. I ask for reasons. No, I do not claim to be super smart. Actually, the Fighting Camels four losses are a positive. They are to good teams. I apologize if my calling out the ten picking the Camels offends you. Dress warmly....32 degrees at kickoff....

I echo this sentiment! My favorite team likes to get to the line of scrimmage and go. You get some officials who are in no hurry and take their sweet time blowing the whistle for "ready to play".

I cannot imagine this heartbreak. Prayers for the babies, Coach Williams, and all of the family. May God give them strength to deal with this tragedy.

Coaches from Male and Moeller could be interesting options :-).

Not to my knowledge.

Campbell County 10 Yes votes 14.49% 3Sportsdad, afi100guy, BubbyKY, Coach K, Footballforever74, Freesheep, JDOMAX, Mediocre Nachos, Thelion44, TheU23 Is this wishful thinking or do you all truly believe the Fighting Camels can take down the Rocks in St. Matthews? This would be a bigger surprise than the Reds sweeping the mighty Oakland Athletics in the 1990 World Series! All kidding aside, the Fighting Camels lost to 5A Highlands (6-5), #5 Ryle (8-3), #6 Simon Kenton (10-1), and 5A #1 Covington Catholic (11-0). I know the us of comparative scores is frowned upon by some BGPers. Eastern fell by 5 points to the Camels. The Rocks whipped Eastern by 45 with 8 minute quarters in second half-and a running clock. The Campbell County 64 man roster does include 7 freshmen(19 seniors). One thing in the Fighting Camels favor is they did travel to Meade County for the first game of the season and won handily. Bus travel apparently does not bother them. It will be cold and dry in St. Matthews on Friday evening. Bundle up!!!

Is it a done deal? I did not see anything about the vote. Will Scott County High retain enough boys to remain in 6A or will they drop to 5A to battle CovCath and Bowing Green? What is the enrollment projection for the Warhawks?

Did this vote take place today or is it scheduled for later in November? I believe this topic was to be decided by the people of Scott County-is a new high school warranted? Any information would be appreciated.

#11 Central Hardin (8-3) vs. Henderson County (5-6) Central Hardin has won 4 in a row and 6 of their past 7 games. Henderson County comes into this round two contest with 4 wins in their past 6 games. Each team suffered one shutout loss in 2017. The Bruins fell 15-0 to @A #5 Christian Academy of Louisville on September 1. The Colonels dropped the opening game of the season 41-0 to Reitz (IN). Henderson County scored the same number of points as they have allowed, 269. Central Hardin has scored 308 points while giving up 170. My prediction for this slugfest is Central Hardin 21-Henderson County 14. Daviess County (6-5) at McCracken County (7-4) This is a rematch of a game played September 22. The Mustangs won the first battle 56-40. The Panthers come into this game on a three game winning streak. Daviess has scored 420 points while allowing 304 in 2017. McCracken County has tallied 374 and allowed 281. The Mustangs own a current 6 game win streak. I look for a score a little less glossy than the first game. Make it McCracken County 35-Daviess County 14 #1 Trinity (11-0) vs. #12 Campbell County (7-4) The Fighting Camels have won 4 of their past 6 games. They face their second #1 ranked team in Kentucky in three weeks. Campbell County fell to 5A #1 Covington Catholic 49-13 on October 27. The Fighting Camels have scored 371 points while allowing 281. Trinity comes into this contest winners of their last 26 in a row. The Shamrocks defense has held opponents to 87 total points while scoring 435. These two met once before in 1997, a 41-7 win for Trinity. I look for the Shamrocks to score 56 while keeping Campbell County out of the end zone. #14 Ballard (6-5) at #6 Simon Kenton (10-1) Ballard has won four of their past six games. In an up and down season, the Bruins have scored 252 points and allowed 236 points. Simon Kenton is a heavy favorite , having won all but one of their games this season. The Pioneers are owners of the most prolific scoring team in Class 6A with 505 points. Simon Kenton has given up 231 points. I look for the Pioneers to take this playoff game 49-14. #3 St. Xavier (9-2) vs. #8 Pleasure Ridge Park (7-4) In another rematch, St. Xavier comes into this titanic struggle winners of 4 of their past 5 games. The Tigers beat Pleasure Ridge Park 35-21 on September 22. The Panthers have dropped two of their last three games. On the season, PRP scored 281 points and allowed 215. I am predicting an identical score of 35-21 in favor of St. Xavier. #4 Male (9-2) vs. #9 Butler (7-4) rematch The Bulldogs come into this rematch winners of 6 of their past 7 games. Male’s scoring margin stands at 368 to 137 for the season. The Bears have played with marginal success in recent weeks, winning 3 out of 6. The Bears do have the biggest upset of the 6A playoffs, defeating #5 Ryle 20-14. However Male owns a 35-6 28-14 victory over the Bears on September 22. I predict a more modest win for the Bulldogs this time around: 28-14. # 10 Tates Creek (9-2) vs. #7 Frederick Douglass (9-2) rematch The first year team from Lexington may be the surprise of the year in 6A. The Broncos have won 4 in a row and face a team they defeated on August 25 by a 49-22 count. The 321 points scored by the Broncos while allowing 170 is a testament to the talent and discipline of this squad. Tates Creek is on a five game winning streak coming into this rematch. The Commodores have a better spread between points scored and allowed (333-142). Frederick Douglass 35-Tates Creek 21 is my prediction for this one. #13 Henry Clay (6-5) at #2 Scott County (9-2) This game is a rematch of their September 29 contest won by Scott County 57-28. The Blue Devils have won 4 out of five since the first test against the Cardinals. Henry Clay tallied 299 and allowed 252 points thus far in 2017. Scott County has won 6 in a row and scored the second highest total of points in 6A with 494. The Cardinals defense allowed 230 points and they tasted defeat only twice this season. The two losses were versus Cincinnati Greater Catholic League schools. See the final score of this contest as Scott County 49-Henry Clay 21.

Central Hardin 42 Ohio County 14 The Eagles started the season 5-0 before struggling with 6A foes, finishing 1-4. Ohio County completed their season at 7-4, bowing out to Central Hardin in the first round. Central Hardin moved on to round two on a four game winning streak.

The Tigers relied on their Junior backup QB Keegan Sullivan as Senior Jack Albers rested his injured hand. Manual completed their season at 3-8. Pleasure Ridge Park 37 Cooper 12 The Jaguars outgained the Panthers 265 yards to 208. Cooper (2-9) rushed for 257 yards and allowed 122. Pleasure Ridge Park had dropped 4 of their previous six games entering the playoff tilt. Cooper’s district over Conner allowed the Jaguars to come in second in District 6 and earn the home playoff game. Male 64 Conner 0 The Bulldogs recorded their first shutout of the season. Conner (4-7) lost their last five games. This marked the first time the Cougars were shutout victims in 2017. The 64 points allowed by Conner resulted in their most lopsided loss in the past 20 years! Butler 20 Ryle 14 The Bears allowed 178 rushing yards and held off the home standing Raiders. Ryle (8-3) gave up 161 yards on the ground. Butler’s Junior RB Eric Jackson ran for 78 yards and Sophomore QB Chaz Burks passed for those 161 yards. Ryle’s Senior RB Jake Chisolm , a Mr. Football candidate, was hampered by a severe ankle sprain. Tates Creek 53 Bryan Station 14 Jalen Burbage was the bright spot for the Defenders as he passed for 85 yards and rushed for 90 yards in a losing effort. Bryan Station (1-10) allowed 534 yards of offense by the Commodores, including 320 on the ground. Frederick Douglass 28 Lafayette 12 The Broncos won their first ever playoff game.

Yes she was. Dad played at Middlesboro and Centre. Great family I have known for 15 years.

Frederick Douglass (9-2) continues their season of "firsts" against Tates Creek (9-2). The Commodores were the first team to lose to the Broncos in a game played on August 25. Frederick Douglass won their first playoff game this past Friday, defeating Lafayette 28-12. Tates Creek are winners of 5 in a row. Their margin of victory during this streak is an average of 21 points per contest. Frederick Douglass are on a fur game winning streak and their average margin of victory is 19 points per game. The Broncos won the August contest 49-22. I look for this one to be closer. Make it Broncos 35-Commodores 21.

Central Hardin (8-3) hosts Henderson County (5-6). The Bruins have won 4 in a row with an average margin of victory of 16 points. The Colonels are 4-1 versus 6A teams this year. They have struggled with some smaller schools and out of state competition. I look for the Bruins to continue their hot streak by a 21-14 score.
