Final from Nicholasville. The game started at 6:00 to beat the rain and the whole contest was played in dry conditions. Story at Lincoln County Daily News

Final from Game 1 of Golden Lion Bowl at Garrard County. Lincoln County is now 2-0. Estill County falls to 1-1. https://lincolncountydailynews.com/26190-2/

For what it’s worth, Moreland High School also played football for a few years in their heyday. At the time of consolidation, only Stanford High School had a team. After consolidation, only Lincoln has had a team.

I vote for the upset to come in the region finals!

The white hat could have run off the time and ended the game. I thought he was going to that until I saw how unhappy Steven French was, and rightfully so, while getting the explanation. I agree that the blame is not with the clock operator because the officials could have fixed the mistake they caused (I am not bashing the officials—I’m glad they do what they do). Lincoln County is not a bush-league place to play, and that is the insinuation when comments are made about the clock operator.

You guys have left out Nick Saban, the ghost of Knute Rockne, and various successful youth coaches. Otherwise, the over-inclusive group seems to have captured the likely candidates. It has been a quiet process but I’d guess we’ll know something before the end of the month.

His post seemed to refer to financial support.

Serious question, what support is lacking? Football is a huge money maker at Lincoln.

That was a long time ago. I’m going to guess 1986 season (if not, then 1979 or 1982).

Text of Facebook post by WPBK-FM. Two years ago today, Lincoln County High School hired Josh Jaggers as its 12th head football coach. Per the press release below, LCHS will be looking for its next football coach. Jaggers resigned today and told WPBK-FM, “I appreciate all the people who supported the program during my time here. I want nothing but the best for the players, both present and past.” ======= Press Release: Lincoln County Football Head Coach Josh Jaggers resigned as head coach today. “We are appreciative of the job Josh has done for us and wish him the best going forward,” said Principal Michael Godbey. The search for the next head football coach will begin immediately. -LCAthletics-

I never understood why going for two to reach 35 was insulting. Was the six on top of 28 insulting? However, an onside kick after the running clock is initiated is insulting, in my opinion.

Levi had his team ready to play, and he make moves like a chess master, working the clock and keeping the momentum. Well done and good luck the rest of the way!

I checked with the school and there has not been a hire, yet.

Lincoln is the southern most of the two northern districts and Pulaski is the northern most of the two southern districts (if we ignore Rockcastle and Casey as outliers—Casey used to be in the both 45th and 46th at different times, and Rockcastle was in the 13th Region for a while). I remember when it rotated between schools, and I remember watching Harrodsburg and Mercer County played for the title at Wayne County. This current set up intends to avoid those kinds of oddities.

I met Bret for the first time this past fall in his role as an assistant coach at Lincoln County. As I got to know him better, I have learned that he is a true American Patriot and good citizen. He is a Marine Corps veteran who was at the Pentagon on 9/11, and he served Lancaster City for many years. He will be missed as a coach at LCHS but he will be even more missed as a classroom teacher. The feedback on him as a teacher has been great. Good luck, Coach Baierlein, you have a fan in me and many others in Lincoln County.

The Lincoln County school board accepted the low bid for installation of turf and improvements to the running track tonight. It should be ready for the 2023 season. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid037o8Gyb9E89sTYLHcg4wUmbcn6ppb8vm7e6GPjAVPn2B6HgU8wFy2ua94WyJ9ZYgTl&I'd=100026841625372&mibextid=qC1gEa

I remember at Rockcastle in 1979 that not only were the fans on one side, but both teams were on the far sideline, with each on one side of the 50 yard line.

Impressive.

What’s the longest line of multi-generational head coaches from the same family in Kentucky high school football? The Jaggers family has three: Joe->Marty->Josh. Who else?

From the beginning of football classification in 1959, it made sense to the powers-that-be to classify based on school enrollment. The thought was that the more boys you have to draw from, the more competitive your football team should be. Whether that was flawed from that start or whether the game and boys playing it have evolved over the ears, I’m not sure. But I am sure that the year-in-and-year-out competitiveness of a school’s football program is dependent on many factors, and most are clearly more important than the number of boys in the school. How am I so sure enrollment isn’t the most important factor? We can easily isolate that datapoint because it is the current criterion for football classification. One can look in the larger classes and count the number of schools that would be beaten by the best 1A or 2A schools. There are many 6A, 5A, 4A and 3A schools that would be dominated by Pikeville, Beechwood, etc. I don’t have a proposal to put forward, but I have a method for analyzing it. Just look at the usual championship suspects over the past thirty years, and reverse engineer what they have in common that the less competitive schools lack.

Low Scoring first half in Stanford….. Boyle County 17 Lincoln County 16

I was just told that that the Lincoln/Garrard January 10th double-header was moved to Lincoln due to the damaged floor, and that the 45th District tournament is moved to Lincoln for this year, with Garrard hosting next year instead.

After reading that, I would say zero chance they’re going back to Corbin.

Wasn’t me.
