Again your proving my point they smoked most of those teams in both years of the contract so those teams like Apollo and Fern Creek probably didn't want to play them anymore. You can't force teams to play you, Etown won't play them. I'm sure Central would have loved to not played the brutal schedule they played this year. However they were coming off a Region Title Appearance and I'm sure they easy opponent were lining up to play them in this new cycle. I'm sure its not their dream to play bowling green and Louisville central and so on. Scheduling in this state is a challenge as you have to come with 7 games on your own and find a way to get 5 home and 5 away and find people who will mutually agree to play you.

You do realize with all the success Central Hardin has had over the past 10 years nobody is signing up to play them. You can't force other teams to play you, outside of the 3 district games teams have to find 7 other opponents. So its either play 9 games or play a tough opponent who would like them to play that week?

Fort Knox and Fort Campbell play for the army bowl every year. Only two Military schools stateside that play each other.

I wish they could play in pro soccer stadium in Louisville same for state championships

Tim Mattingly what he has done at central that no one came close to doing in the schools history. He has done with a school in a large county with multiple high schools that splits up the talent.

Headed to this game where is best places to eat in Danville

Since arriving with "archaic" offense Coach Mattingly has won 2 Region titles and appeared in 4 Region titles and won at least 6 or 7 district championships. Before his arrival they had never won a Region ever! So I would say that's pretty impressive with a so called old school offense. Central doesn't have 4.4 speed kids. Coach Mattingly has built a program on toughness and defense and I'd say that's tailoring your team to its strength and personnel.

Team is going to make noise not this year but next several years. They are physical, have a ton of speed and play with an edge. Going to be a nightmare for alot of 1A schools come playoff time.

Is Mayfield going back to 1A in the next realignment?

I would like to nominate Fort Knox vs Fort Campbell- The Army Bowl- Not only it a great in state rivalry it is one of the most unique high school games in America. There are only 3 Department of Defense run high schools in the United States that play football and two happen to be in the same state. I think you could argue through the 80's and early 90s both programs were some the best in the state and then Ft Campbell great run in the 2000's as well. Total respect on both sides of the ball with kids who grow up with pretty unique and transient situations, the average military child moves 6 to 9 times during their school years. It may not have the luster it used to have but is still a great event each time the schools meet. Please let me know if I can provide more information or anything else and thank you for your consideration!

What about Fort Knox one of two teams who didn't play last year and they always have high turnover of players anyways came out and won 4 games for only 3rd time in last 15 years.

Eminence has been running up the score all year on people leaving there starters in to pad stats against a teams backups while up 40 plus points

I said it earlier on the other thread, everyone had a season except Fort Knox and Fort Campbell and their kids don't get the option to reclassify. Everyone else got there season there should be no redo for them.

The only people who should get a do over year are fort knox and fort campbell kids since they were the only ones who didn't have a season, and they aren't allowed to have a do over year anyways

I’m not even saying you need the light show but they could easily add some stuff. Like instead of announcing one starter at a time why not do it like uk football or pro baseball teams do during warmups they introduce the starters on the jumbotron with a picture of them in uniform. Like I said earlier rent a couple of smoke machines and turn them on as teams run out of the tunnel. Easy cheap things they could add.

Maybe your right about 6 games but how much could it costs to rent four years smoke machines for a couple of days. I’m not expecting the super bowl halftime show just a little something.

Yesterday as I watched the sweet 16 final is it just me or is the noticeable lack of effort the khsaa puts into creating big time atmosphere for state football finals vs basketball. They had a light show, introductions with pictures of each starter, pump up music, they always have a professional highlight video played prior to hand that they make up in less than 2 hours. For football they play the same 5 classic rock songs during each warmup and the teams just run onto the field with the PA guy saying “here comes...” would it hurt to at least bring our some smoke machines or something. They have a full week to get ready why can’t teams submit clips from hudl and the khsaa make a highlight montage of the two teams playing based off the hudl clips they submit. Maybe I’m wrong but I think it’s very noticeable the difference.

Updates?

How much time left in the half?

Score?

Fort Knox beat Fort Campbell friday in the annual Army Bowl 19-10 for the 1st time in 16 years! Knox scored with a minute left to take 13-10 lead and then blocked a game tying field goal and ran it back 80 yards for final score. Big win for the Fort Knox program.

Any chance Fort Knox makes any moves? They finished regular season 4-6 and trailed Russellville 21-14 going into the 4th qtr in the playoffs. I saw on the KHSAA site they have 47 players out this year.

Fort Knox gave Russellville fits for 3 qtrs last week score was 21-14 to start the 4th qtr before they pulled away.

Caverna got a win over Green County according the KHSAA site with forfeit win due to ineligible player.
