Inability to practice in the heat told the tale here. Henderson was at least as good as Castle, but couldn't keep players on the field in the second half. Simple as that.
This is a tragedy. I have worked for the team the past 8 seasons as equipment mngr. My heart goes out to coach Duffer Duffy, the team, the family and all of Henderson. Coaches water down the players thru out the practices. This could have happened anywhere, and WILL again somewhere. To assess blame is a work in futility at this point!

Henderson Co broadcasts on WSON 86am with Henderson Mayor Henry Lackey and Leo Peckinpaugh. Peackinpaugh also calls Western Ky games. In fact, Leo called his last Colonel game this past season after 25 or so years paired with Mr. Lackey the whole time. They begin each broadcast 1 &1/2 hours b4 kick-off and if there is a better overall production for a high school game, i'd love to hear it!
