Now that the smoke has cleared, I believe 3A Champion Boyle County had the best Oline in 3A.

LT-Ryan McClelland-SR

LG-Zane Young-SR

Center-John Yeager-SR

RG-Ned Stephens-JR

RT-Will Bramel-SR

Ned Stephens is the only starting linemen that missed a start this year. He sat out the regular season game vs. Lex Cath. Mitchell Paycheck was his backup for that one. John Yeager played the last 2 game with a probable torn labrum in his right shoulder that forced him to snap left handed.Other than that, these 5 guys started every game for Boyle.

It should also be noted these guys were all one-way players. Depth matters!

Congrats to these men for an outstanding season.

Just had a celebration for both teams on Main Street. The Mayor declared Friday, December 8th Title Town Day in Danville. I'll post video in a few minutes.

The Titletown Pep Rally at the courthouse square was awesome!

I love see community coming together to celebrate our football teams successes. If you were a part of this celebration, you must realize just how precious this moment was. I will treasure it till the day I die.

Who Ya With? TITLETOWN!!:dancingpa

I bought it for the replay and plugged my pc into my tv via hdmi. It is awesome.

6624 for the 4A game

Boyle doesn't win the title with Reese Smith....

Or Landon Bartleson

Or Reed Lanter

Or Reiley Colwick

Or a great defense

Or a greal Oline

Or the best coaching staff in the state.

I think we needed them all.....but Reese is a flat-out baller.

TITLETOWN 2.0

Congrats to the Admirals......TITLETOWN!

Congrats 85 Rebel!!!! I know how proud you must be. Congrats to your son and your whole family!!! :dancingpa

Thank you. We are so happy for big Will. He has done a great job of staying in the moment and never looking beyond today. What lies ahead is so exciting, but for now we are just elated to be State Champions!!

I was just looking over Boyle County's final schedule, scores, etc. It sure seems that the best two teams the Rebels played this season were Danville and Elizabethtown. For those of you who watched most of the games, is that how you feel also?

No doubt about it. Our conversation on the ride home was we all felt like Etown would beat Corbin if they played.

2009

Boyle County 42

Lone Oak 39

Here is what I had mentioned in the other post about the city/county press conference....

Kickoff to state championship games | The Advocate-Messenger

I am confident this is going to be a tremendous football game. Corbin is really good and play hard, physical football till the whistle. They hit hard and tackle well. And so does Boyle.

The Corbin QB is an animal and will hurt Boyle either with his arm or with his feet, maybe both.

Tough to pick a score. I would have never guessed 14 points would beat Etown in the Semis. Never expected the defenses to control that game like they did. And I was wrong,

Anyway,

Boyle County 31

Corbin 28

Has the Louisville roster ever been released?

I believe I'm right but correct me if I'm wrong. Boyle County has a starting defensive back who started for Corbin as a defensive back last year. I think his name is Snyder. Just thought that was an interesting piece of information and wondered if it could have any bearing in the outcome of the game?

#18 Nathan Snyder moved from Corbin to Boyle and is a starting DB for the Rebels. The Junior has been an impact player for Boyle and made many nice plays throughout the year.

Am I having deja vu?

You will have a great view with the Club Seats.....do it.

There is no rule that says "There can be only one Titletown". It is a mythical award based on several vague factors like geography, proximity, championships, and any other variable you wish to include.

We like it down here in Boyle/Danville and we choose to call ourselves Titletown. You can agree, disagree, care less. It doesn't really matter. If you want to be a Titletown, then go be a Titletown. We here in Titletown are pulling for you.

I can tell you the Danville Mayor and Boyle County Judge Executive are hosting a press conference at 3:15 to boast on Titletown and wish both programs good luck.

In my mind, that makes it official......Titletown, KY!

I think if they both win it is definitely Titletown 2.0.

Some are already calling it Titletown.

Some have never stopped calling Titletown.

I for one have been so proud to be associated with a community that treasures winning football like we do here. This week has been so refreshing. The pep clubs from both schools have mentioned on social media about coming and supporting each other in there respective games. Danville moved its basketball game from Friday to Thursday. Only reason I can think of was to give Danville's student body a chance just to do this. I hope Boyle returns the favor on Saturday.

There will be unfortunately some who would never support the cross town rival. The good news is this is a dying breed. I only cheer against Danville about 4 times a year. The football game and inevitable 3 basketball games.

GO REBELS

GO DANVILLE

GO TITLETOWN

:dancingpa:dancingpa:dancingpa

Unless someone's not reporting on KHSAA I have Boyle with the following in the giveaway/takeaway count.

 

Boyle has lost 4 Fumbles all year. Lanter has thrown 4 interceptions all season.

 

The Rebel Defense has 23 Interceptions on the season and 15 Fumble recoveries.

 

That would be 38 takeaways and 8 giveaways for a +30 in the turnover department. Wow.

Great Job Hatz!! That is some high quality research.

Boyle and Danville both had 3 turnovers in the head to head matchup and Boyle lost.

So Boyle is undefeated when they win the turnover margin. I may stick with that thesis in my prediction post.

Not sure how many turnovers Boyle has on the season, but their defense has generated 38 turnovers on the season 23 interceptions with 6 returned for TD'S, and 15 fumble recoveries with 1 returned for TD. They have really made teams pay for their mistakes.

It was the difference in the game last week. Boyle was +2. Kaden Gervacio's 4th quarter pick setup the game winning score and Clete Hellyer's pick nailed Etown's coffin shut.

Other than the Paddock and Woodford seating on the home side, I think $13 (which includes parking) is a good value.

Didn't WKU and Papa Johns also have some premium seating which included access to indoors? The difference, albeit a big one, is UK's premium seating are located in a premium section on the homeside.

I anticipate record crowds at this years state championships.

Boyle County turnover margin....anybody know what it is?

I think at the first Lex Cath game it was +13. I am willing to bet it is over +25 at this point. A staggering number for sure.

To me, whatever team you are, your QB is a tough position to replace and be just as effective.

This should be a really good matchup.

Boyle was in a knockdown dragout with Etown in the Semis and should prepare them well for the title fight.

Corbin held off Central down the stretch which should also prepare them for the title fight.

Statistically these team are pretty even on both sides of the ball. To me, that makes the game decided by special teams, turnovers, and/or penalties.

Hope this one plays out as a classic. Both of these teams deserve this.

Will the high school have tickets for sale like they always do?

There are no advance ticket sales through the schools.
