  1. Logan County is not going to surprise as many people this year as they did last year. Both Hoptown and Madisonville will be gunning for them this year. The good news is Madisonville is coming to Logan. The bad news is Logan County is going to have play Hoptown at Hoptown with Craig Clayton whipping the Tigers into a frenzy after losing the district title to the Cougars last year. If the Cougars can repeat last year's success this year, Todd Adler should be a strong candidate for Coach of the Year in all classes.

  2. With Trimble County cancelling their 2018 football season due to low turnout and declining numbers in the school system, could co-op programs work in Kentucky like they do in other states like Illinois. For example, UHA does not offer football, but can be involved in a co-op program with Christian County or Hopkinsville to allow UHA students the chance to play football without changing schools.

  3. I can see Paducah Tilghman as a surprise team this year just on inspiration after all that has happened with Coach Duncan. Eventually, the Blue Tornado will get their swagger back and shock someone this year, whether it be McCracken County, Graves County, Mayfield, or Caldwell County.

  4. The Russellville game is important for Crittenden County for 3 reasons.

    1. It will determine the district title since the

    Fulton schools are in a constant

    tailspin.

    2. It will determine home field for at least

    the first two rounds of the playoffs.

    3. Russellville and Crittenden County have

    played each other quite a few times over

    the years.

    I also would not consider Campbellsville a lock to play Crittenden County in the playoffs. Campbellsville is in the same district as Louisville Holy Cross, who have a highly sought freshman lineman that is being pursued by schools such as Alabama, Tennessee, and Florida State.

  5. You can add a few more of the historical rivalry games to that list, particularly in Western Kentucky:

    1. Hopkinsville vs Christian County

    2. Mayfield vs Murray

    3. Caldwell County vs Trigg County-

    "The Battle of 139"

    4. Madisonville vs Hopkinsville

    5. Caldwell County vs Mayfield

    And there are some old rivalries that have gone the way of time such as Owensboro vs

    Henderson County or Bowling Green vs Franklin-Simpson that are no longer played on a regular basis due to changes in classification and scheduling restrictions.

    An another game to add to the old rivalry list is Russellville vs Franklin-Simpson.

  6. I checked the Fulton County school district website and they announced on April 12 that James Bridges has been named as the new football coach at Fulton County. He has been the middle school coach at Fulton County the past 6 seasons and played high school football at Fulton County and played football in college at Murray State. Maybe others on the board can confirm this as well.
