I guess I jumped the gun. I forgot that after the first two rounds, the brackets are according to RPI. BE will have to play at even a higher level to eliminate Manual. Of which they are capable of doing. So they need to take care of business the next two games, stay healthy, stay humble and continue to work hard every day in practice. Nothing is given, but everything is earned. LET'S GO CHARGERS!!!

What a great game played by Bullitt East on both sides of the ball. Congrats on a program changing W for the entire program. BE did what it had to do. They believed in their own abilities and carried it out. Shoutout to everyone on the team. Especially Travis Egan (QB) who also played on the defensive side of the ball. Had one of the best hits on D that I have seen all season. Kid is one tough athlete. Cam Brogan and Nolan Davenport also played on the Defensive side which was a huge boost for the Chargers. Mason Gauthier is simply a hard nosed under rated running back. Happy for Coach Kendrick and staff. Time for some people out there to give BE some respect. This has been in the works for the last four years. The road does not get any easier in the playoffs with Cross Districting. After Butler, then Manual. Get past them and then St. X. But as I have said before, the game is on the field and anything can happen. Charger Nation is proud of you Chargers!!!

All the talk and all the stats are fun for us to talk about and look at. The winner will obviously be determined between the lines. BE has a real chance of winning this game. They will need to play with confidence, limit mistakes, force a turnover or two and do what they do on offense. The crowd will be packed and electric in bringing extra energy to the team. A game I am looking forward to seeing. Good Luck Chargers!!!

As a track coach, there is no doubt there is a benefit to the player by participating in track and field. Simply look at the numbers. A huge majority of successful football players participated in T&F in High School. At every level. My thought is that you cannot be faster if you do not work to be faster. Participating in Track teaches proper running form, how to explode out of blocks, how to be quick on your feet in the Shot and Discus. Sprinters make great Long Jumpers. The hard part right now is for the players to understand that participating in track is helping to prepare them for the fall. Everyone says they want to get stronger and faster. So they lift weights. But they do not work specifically on running. Personal Trainers are now the thing. I get told that they run in workouts. It is not the same. I have had several football players in the past say they are really fast and I finally convince them to come out. When they compete, they find that it is a whole another world on the track. My HS fellow coaches are encouraging them to do so. College coaches want Athletes. One of the first questions asked of a HS coach is "What other sports do they participate in?" They are looking for athletes who can go to a different sport, learn that sport and be competitive in that sport. Learning to be comfortable when they are uncomfortable. This certainly benefits the other sports. I know that many kids are successful by just competing in one sport. And that is great. But I will always be behind the fact that HS kids should participate in as many sports as possible. My son has competed in three Varsity sports this season. He will go on to play college football in the fall. All three sports are helping him to continue to develop all aspects of his body. And he has found that he is having good success in T&F. Lastly so many kids are wearing out their bodies by participating in just one sport. Read articles from former MLB players who are totally against kids playing baseball all year long. Or NFL players who say track was very important to their success. To be honest, the majority of kids who have had T&F success, participated in another sport. Developed athletes are what we all want on our teams. All coaches need to carefully consider allowing their players to be allowed to participate in another sport. I personally want to provide better athletes to my school's other teams. I want them to be successful. Everyone benefits that way. Good Luck to all coaches out there!!!

Was anyone from Bardstown suspended going into the District tournament?

I was sad to learn of Coach Jaggers passing. I grew up in Trigg Co. and have great memories of the football program while Coach was there. All the numbers throughout his coaching career speak for themselves. His contributions to HS football were enormous. I am a friend of the family, especially his son Marty and his daughter Kelly. We were at Trigg Co. together and I followed Marty to WKU. He was the starting QB and I was fortunate to be on the Cross Country/Track teams. My prayers and condolences go out the family. May God provide the strength they need during this time.

What a great day of basketball for our Lady Chargers!!! To take down #1 and #2 in the same day says alot about the toughness of our girls. Congrats girls!!! Continued success the remainder of the regular season and into the post season. EAST PRIDE!!!

It is Official. Offensive Coordinator KEEGAN KENDRICK has been named the new Head Football Coach. Got some talent for next season. Look forward to seeing the program continue to improve.

Agree for sure Stockton of Glasgow. Also look for TJ Greenwell to have a big season next year. Kid is really good.

I am not sure about how both teams stack up against each other. But I would not really count this as an upset. We all know about Reed. But what most do not know is that Cade Stinnett is a Bona Fide All State player. My son has played AAU ball with him on Manimal and I have watched him many times. No doubt Cade is one of a kind. Hard nosed, energetic, smart, scorer, defender with a top notch all around game. He is a throwback type of player. Not fancy, but game results will show top notch numbers. He is a Coaches' dream. Continue to watch this kid and his team going forward into the season. But more than that, he is a tremendous kid who does everything the right way. A leader on and off the court. Great grades. Respectful. Comes from a great family. Some college coach is going to get a great player. Cade is still under the radar, but that will change as the season progresses. Continued success Cade!!!

Keiran Stockton (#6) is the real deal for Glasgow. His size for a running back is huge compared to others. He is a load to bring down. His YAC (Yards after Contact) is through the roof. Very seldom does one guy bring him down. Strength, Speed and Athletic all make for a BEAST for Glasgow. And yes he plays on the other side of the ball as well. It sure is hard to run up the middle on him. He hits hard and kids go down immediately. It should be a very interesting game. PT has always had athletes. Speed is a key ingredient for their success. If they can limit turnovers they will be right there. To me another 50-50 game which will fun to watch. Good Luck to both teams. Even though one will go home disappointed.

Glasgow was 3 of 5 passing for 39 yards last week. For the season, 64/100 and 87 yds. per game. Passed for 1214 yards on the season. Looks like their passing game is not emphasized much. Numbers indicate a hard nosed running team. 3012 total yards for 215 per game and a 1000 yard back. Total Offense for the season is 4226 yards. On the other hand, here are the Bardstown offensive numbers. Brady Clark is 143 of 207 for 2544 yards on the season which is 212 yards per game. Four excellent receivers to go to. Clark spreads the ball all around. The season running game is 283 rushing attempts for 2592 yards. Average 185 yards per game. Two fantastic running backs with other options. Total offense for the season is 5136 yards. Should be a good matchup. Numbers say it is Bardstown's game to win. As a coach, I know that you put numbers behind you when the whistle blows and you play the best you can that game. Kids must play their best when their best is needed most. And they cannot take any team for granted. I do not think BHS will take the Scotties for granted. Look forward to seeing the Tigers keep their winning streak alive as they continue full steam ahead on this journey.

On paper, these two teams are closely matched. Glasgow is missing two key players and Bardstown is close to full strength now. To me a major advantage Bardstown has is the play of QB Brady Clark. He has had a great season thus far and shows tremendous leadership. Key running backs in TJ Greenwell and TyTy Washington. Both have great speed and can pick them up and lay them down. On the receiving side, Shannon Tongue and Yared Raley provide TD threats on any play along with Greenwell and Washington. Special teams are solid. On the defensive side of the ball, Bardstown has gotten better and better. Question is can they shut down the running game of Glasgow? Scotties do not throw the ball often. And another key factor is which team makes less mistakes. All of that said, it is all about who comes out of the gate ready to roll!!! Game is in Glasgow.

Brady Clark of Bardstown completed 8 passes for 171 yards on a nasty, rainy, cold Friday night last week. Agree that teams that can pass the ball can continue to pass the ball. Agreed that Special teams and not making mistakes are a major key in the outcome of the game. Bardstown versus Glasgow looks like a great matchup on paper. But as you know, the game is won on the field. Look forward to seeing what happens on Friday night.

On Tuesday 11/16 both Bardstown and Bullitt East will host scrimmages. Bardstown will host Barren Co. and Bullitt East will host Seneca. Looking forward to getting the season started.

Wish you could guarantee this outcome. Should be a good one. Will be waiting to see the final score.

That would not hurt my feelings at all. Will be anxious to see the final score.

I hope that you are correct on this one. Definitely will be waiting and watching for the score.

When players play FOR each other, a lot of good will come from that. Not caring who gets the glory also makes a huge difference in the success of a team. This team has played for each other all season. Talented players on both sides of the ball. Many are doubting this team saying they played a weak schedule. Look at the KHSAA stats. But actions speak louder than words. So going forward, these kids will need to stay humble, strive for perfection and play aggressively with enthusiasm. And then let their results speak for themselves. One game at a time. Looking forward to supporting them in the following weeks. Keep the streak alive Tigers!!! ALL GAS NO BRAKES!!!

Agree 100%. Coach Clark is a Great Person who knows how to coach the game of football. Brady is a true talent who a lot of people are overlooking. His numbers are outstanding. Both are WINNERS. The regular season was great and the same is expected through the playoffs. There are some talented athletes on BHS team and can put some points up on the scoreboard. Looking forward to see how the next month unfolds.

Thanks for the information. I do hate that those kids will not be able to continue. I do not want to see/hear of any kid being injured. In earlier posts, it seemed as some people thought Cal and Glasgow were somewhat better that Bardstown. Maybe I interpreted it wrong. Yes BHS has stayed in the top 3. Now they will have to prove it throughout the playoffs. I like their chances.

Totally agree. When Bardstown has everyone available they go from really good to really, really good. Offensive numbers are impressive all the way around. They have the top rated QB in 3A in Brady Clark. Throwing at 68% accuracy for 215 yds. per game. Has Tongue, Raley, Greenwell, Washington to spread the ball to. Two quality backs in Greenwell and Washington. Greenwell is 2nd in 3A in scoring with 19 TD followed closely by Washington with 18 TD. Bardstown is 1st in 3A in scoring at 45.8 points per game. 1st in scoring margin at 25.7. 1st in 3A in Team Passing. On the defensive side of the ball, having everyone back on the field is a huge plus. They are playing more aggressive and with those who have been out back, their defense is solid. So I cannot understand why they are not getting the respect they deserve. 9-0 speaks for itself. Numbers speak for itself. Coach Clark and staff are doing a fantastic job with this team. As it should be, the quarter final games and going forward will be tough matches no matter who they play. Obviously you got to get the job done when it matters most. Anxious to see how the next 6 weeks play out.

A good win for sure. Ending regular season play with East Jessamine (5A) who is 1-8 on the year. Looking at the current RPI rankings for post season purposes Bardstown still comes in the 3rd place position. Cal is slightly ahead - .68844 to Bardstown - .68373. That close to flip flopping for 2nd place and home field advantage in the quarter finals. I know along the way you will have to beat 2-3 good teams to get to Kroger Field. Bardstown is more than capable of getting there. It will come down to who plays best on a given night. Nothing from off the paper is guaranteed. Southern over Fern Creek. Murray over Mayfield. And there could be others. It is go time!!! After this week, if you lose you are out of the picture. Hoping for the best for the Tigers.

What will be the final score of this game? Obviously Male will be the heavy favorite. But don't forget about the Air Raid offense that the Chargers will bring. The four headed monster with Egan, Brogan, Davenport and Gauthier have done an exceptional job this season. Gotta stay away from that Brown kid for Male!!! Selah is a friend of mine with unbelievable talent. Love that kid, but hope BE can stay out of his reach. BE also has to slow down Male's offensive weapons. Could be a high scoring game. Good Luck Chargers!!!

Thanks for taking the time to provide the above information. Crazy how the top half has so many teams ranked in the top 7. A tough road for each team starting in the quarter finals. The top 3 are pretty evenly matched. I feel the rankings will be different after next week. It will certainly be an advantage to be ranked 1-2 to get the home field advantage. Obviously being the top seed will be huge. Look forward to seeing how it all plays out.
