  1. Planning to go to this one. Hopefully will be a great game.
  2. You don’t think a regular season matchup against a couple better teams would have made last night better? Might they have got a home game with a better RPI? I’m not saying play ten powerhouses, but there aren’t many teams winning late into the playoffs with a schedule like Lloyd played this year.
  3. Good effort by Metcalfe County. I know they lost a lot from last season and the record wasn't great this year, but Harbison does a solid job with the Hornets. They had a handful of close losses early and seemed to be playing much better as the season progressed.
  4. I think they would benefit from adding a couple of games against someone like Beechwood or Dixie Heights. Still local, still good gates, but type of teams you'll have to beat in the postseason in Class 3A.
  5. Mercer County is a very good team, has been very successful, and had some pieces that theoretically matched up decent against Central. But you are correct, Central in November is just another animal entirely. Impressive performance by the Jackets last night.
  6. I think you are correct. I do think we are setting up for a dynamite pair of semifinals in Class 4A.
  7. McCracken has played in the quarterfinals (regional finals) three times, falling to Central Hardin in 2015, North Hardin in 2019, and Male in 2020.
  8. Agreed. I watched the regular season T/X game in person and X seemed to be a little less athletic than in previous seasons. Their makeup was a little more Wolford than Wallace.
  9. Phoebus is another name for the Greek god Apollo. Maybe going against a one of the pantheon of Olympus was just too much for the early English settlers.
  10. Correct. Ludlow won first round games in 1997 (Paintsville), 1999 (Nicholas County), 2008 (Eminence), 2011 (Eminence), 2018 (Louisville Holy Cross), 2019 (Bellevue), 2020 (Dayton), and this year. However, since the KHSAA moved to 32 teams making the playoffs in 1991, Ludlow had never won a "second round" game until this season. When they won the championship in 1975, only eight teams made the playoffs. Their first round win was against Raceland. The second win came against Elkhorn City but would be considered the state semifinals. Then they beat Heath to claim the state championship.
  11. No. Last year was the first time Hart County had ever won a playoff game when they beat Trigg County in the first round.
  12. Would be just the second meeting ever and first in 31 years. Belfry beat Rockcastle County 21-6 in the 1992 Pike County Bowl.
  13. I like it but the middle is a little big for my taste. I'd scale back the state and logo; maybe set the state edges just outside each three-point line and make the UK in the center roughly the same size as the center circle.
  14. One of the best songs from that era! My son (he's 12) and I blare that quite often around the house or while driving. Great choice!
  15. After a slow start, albeit against some really good teams (Mayfield, Tilghman, Owensboro), Graves seems to be playing really well of late.
  16. Yes, both in the regional final. The 1996 game was down to the wire (23-20), while the 1998 game was a comfortable Beechwood win (29-0).
  17. Fewest wins in a season for Hazard since winning just one in 1944, a shortened season due to World War II. Schedule was brutal but the Bulldogs just never could generate offense.
  18. Thought this would be a good one and it certainly delivered.
  19. This is now in a playoff win in three consecutive seasons (2021 - Ludlow; 2022 - Berea), but prior to that the last playoff win for Dayton came in the second round against Bellevue way back in 1998.
  20. Betsy Layne wins their first ever playoff game after ten previous trips all ended in first round defeats. They also won 10 games in a season for the first time, eclipsing the previous best of 9 wins in 2013. The Bobcats are coached by Jarredd Jarrell, who was a terrific quarterback at Prestonsburg several years back.
  21. After two rounds, the four "western" teams are paired up by RPI (1 vs. 4; 2 vs. 3) and so are the four "eastern" teams. Then for the semifinals, the final four teams are reseeded by RPI (1 vs. 4; 2 vs. 3). It is important to note that RPI locks in after the regular season so a team won't go up or down in RPI during the playoffs.
  22. Not a vintage Pulaski team by any stretch, but the schedule has been brutal. They played Southwestern close two weeks ago. Can they pull the upset next Friday?
