This will be one of the better games imo. Do the Tigers have what it takes to slow down the Franklin-Simpson wing-t? Do the Wildcats have what it takes to slow down stud WR/DB Mercer for the Tigers?

Increase the district teams & decrease playoff spots? Why would you do that? I'm for giving the district winner a round one bye & taking top 3 from each district.

Week 1 of the playoffs are usually filled with running clocks and blowouts but there are a few intriguing round 1 games in the Western part of Kentucky this week. These are the games that stand out to me. Feel free to add your thoughts on other round 1 games to watch from other parts of the state. McLean at Caldwell Taylor County at Paducah Hopkinsville at Franklin Simpson Glasgow at Union. I think there is a strong argument you can make that all 4 road teams COULD win these games this week. I wouldn’t say any one of the 4 are favorites but the Taylor County/PT game & the Hopkinsville/FS jump out to me as tremendous round 1 games.

I need to go check him out. Sounds like a big time ball player.

Mercer is a WR/DB. Uncoverable. Notice I said a guy who dominates on both sides of the ball. He is usually the best player on offense & defense every game. Does Smith play defense for Taylor?

Paducah had 75 players with none going both ways to Hopkinsville 34-35 players with quite a few going both ways. Looked to me like the Tigers wanted it more than PT last night. PT has talent and they have some very good coaches but something seems off. If PT runs the ball 55 times last night they win the game. Hopkinsville couldn’t stop them when they did that but they kept playing with fire by throwing the ball and it bit them. I still think PT has a run ahead of them because nobody they play is going to have a kid like Mercer from Hoptown to dominate the game on both sides of the ball. Especially early on in the first few rounds.

I think the PT depth will wear down the Tigers in this one. PT-28 Hopkinsville-7.

I did not know Hopkinsville had won 8 out of the last 10. This is a good WKY rivalry. I would have never guessed that disparity in the last 10 meetings.

Logan most definitely can pull the upset here. Huge game for them for RPI purposes. 4A in the west looks like it will be Warren East, Spencer County, Logan County, & Louisville Central in the quarterfinals. South is dealing with injuries but they are still south Warren. I think this will be a very very good game.

Clock runner. 43-7 Mayfield.

Glasgow & Taylor County will have Union & PT on upset alert. Those are not your typical 3 & 4 seeds.

Looks like BE didn’t get outcoached tonight. Congrats to the Chargers.

It’s a shame to see how they have fallen. Having 3 coaches the last 3 years doesn’t help matters.

Impossible lol.

Big time win for the Gators. Lofton is a stud!!!

Hopkinsville grinded out a 30-6 win tonight to secure the #3 seed and set up a first round matchup against Franklin Simpson in a few weeks. The bigger story is Hopkinsville was without Stud Ath #1 Mercer & Sophomore standout #2 Jackson. Both are expected back next week. The FS/Hoptown game will be an interesting one in round 1.

Pretty sure Coach Thompson has always called plays since he has been a HC.

I think PT gets it done. Union is a tough, physical football team but I think PT needs this game more if that makes sense. If PT doesn’t come ready to play then it will sound alarm bells imo. PT-28 Union-20.

Well that part I agree with lol.

No where near imo. Henry County is a TN power. They would beat Scott County by 3-4 touchdowns.

Maroons have a punt return for a TD & blocked punt inside the 10 to set up another score. The Tigers out gained the Maroons 215-185 but could not get it done. Tigers drop to 2-5 (0-2 D1) while Maroons improve to 5-2 (2-0 D1). Tigers are free falling and the Maroons set up a district championship game next week at Logan County.
