Bowling Green has lost two straight, both to 6A teams PRP and St. Xavier. In unfamiliar territory at 1-2 the Purples now must welcome getting back to 5A hosting the 2-1 Owensboro Red Devils. Owensboro is coming off a 47-12 win over Owensboro Catholic. Has the playing field leveled enough for the Red Devils to get revenge on the Purples for two losses last year? Bowling Green won 47-0 in the regular season meeting in 2016, then knocked Owensboro out of the 3rd round of playoffs with a 50-21 victory.

The cameraperson is horrible

South Oldham (1-1) is coming off a bye week and face winless North Oldham. The Dragons had a tough loss to Christian Academy of Louisville but rebounded well beating Doss by 19. North Oldham played well vs Oldham County until a pair of fourth quarter pick sixes gave the game to the Colonels. Then they were routed as Waggener put up 65 points. The Mustangs face another big hurdle trying to contain QB Drew Zaubi and company.

I think Valley's QB Campos is injured not sure if he played vs Louisville Holy Cross or Iroquois. He got banged up vs PRP.

The new coach has improved a few things, the once shaky Central special teams are solid now. Often under Scroggins Central would outplay a school from a 5A or 6A but lose on a special teams mistake(s). Coach Dantzler has firmed that up, they were impressive in all aspects.

When you get used to is you remember the codes ( I have used this software since 1999 for high school, semi-pro, and arena2) , also print out one of these sheets for reference http://grfx.cstv.com/photos/schools/statc/sports/m-footbl/auto_pdf/2015-16/misc_non_event/FB-RefCard.pdf

Yes Abell is a Manual Grad, and his dad is at all the games, whole family actually. His parents help in many ways and are always at games, his brother Brian and girlfirend sell team logo wear at home games, his sister is a senior cheerleader at FC, and brother Kyle is our intern doing all kinds of stuff. Our staff has 4 Manual grads right now, Abell, Don Hillerich Def Coordinator, Ronnie Stoner Running backs, Eric Baxter Freshmen.

Statcrew is what Trinity and me use too. They have a new version cloud based and no longer in DOS but not for high school just colleges. The company is based in Cincinnati.

I use the same software and update Fern Creek's on KHSAA and Maxpreps, and email weekly PDFs of game stats and season to date totals to Jason Frakes and Co. i need to get a website to do the HTML like Trinity, the software makes it easy.

When did Holy Cross stop wearing the black jersey (Bishop David throw back) when they played DeSales? I was with the semi-pro Louisville Bulls and during the mid to late 2000's we played our home games at Holy Cross and used to lend our black game pants to Holy Cross for the DeSales game every year. They had a set of black jerseys they only wore for that game. That was when Dave Weston was the coach.

Final was 29-0. Central had a safety, 4 touchdowns, missed one PAT.

other than Central's scoring drive late in 2nd it has been a punt fest.

Our return man let the ball get past him and rolled down to the 4. two plays later QB tackled for safety. Then penalties on the return pushed Central back to their 13, but Rico White got hot passing and put together a 6 play 87 yard scoring drive, Td was 32 y pass White to Ukari Baker, the White kicked the point too. On Fern Creek's next drive QB Hester fumbled on a scramble and Central took over on FC 38, defense holds on downs and escapes at half down just 9-0. Fern Creek has just managed 55 yards of offense on 18 plays, while Central has 27 plays for 131.

Deuce I am in the Pressbox, I have a Fern Creek media guide for you if you want. and rosters for both

Even 2 inches of rain would destroy a lot of natural grass fields. On Thursday 9-17-17 we had 2.5 inches of rain in Louisville. It started a little after practice until midnight or 1 am. The pictures below where just an hour and a half into the storm with not even an inch accumulation, still almost 2 inches to come down. Luckily we didn't play until the next night and had a sunny Friday to dry out the field. Fern Creek's Veteran Stadium home sideline, water is standing a few inches deep on entire sideline Fern Creek's soccer field from my truck window One of our coaches went to paint endzones early that Friday and field was still too wet. The parking lot near soccer was under 3-4 inches of water, had to wade thru to get to my truck.

Now the only game on Friday in Louisville is Moeller at Trinity. Of course that is on a turf field. Louisville Holy Cross at DeSales also on turf was rescheduled.

Thanks Colonel! Add North Bullitt at Jeffersontown 7:30pm Fairdale to announce early tomorrow if their game hosting Nelson County is moving to Thursday per the Fairdale Athletics twitter.

This makes 3 threads

Collins at Ballard also moved to Thursday.

Last year Bullitt East had a female kicker, in her first game she kicked 8 of 8 extra points and recovered a fumble in a win over Shelby County. That win was later changed to a forfeit when it was determined that she wasn't eligible due to not completing enough practices. She did play in 6 more games that counted and kicked 17 extra points. I looked up Emma Kaiser's stats and per KHSAA scoreboard she had 34 points in 2016, 1 pt in 2015.

PRP at Eastern also moved

And Fern Creek at Central, 7:30 pm Thursday

Add Doss at Male 7:30 pm Thursday to the list

Now two JCPS games have moved to Thursday night to avoid the remnants of Hurricane Harvey set to move through the area on Friday. Heavy thunderstorms are forecast with 1-3 inches of rain. Lighting is the real danger, but heavy rains are also a factor, the only schools in the Louisville area with turf fields are CAL, St X, Trinity, and DeSales. Western at Butler and Seneca at Moore have both moved to Thursday night games instead of Friday. Are any other schools considering a change?

I am sure it had to be approved by either the coaches or Athletic Directors. Jason Frakes did an article for The Courier Journal and it quotes Butler's AD and JCPS Director of Athletics Jerry Wyman. Western-Butler football game moved to Thursday
