I should also mention Taft is an "inner city" school that just started their football program back up about 5 or 6 years ago. By the way, I found their bright yellow jerseys with green numbers and bright yellow pants to quite gaudy and ugly, but whoever did this is still wrong!

Great win for the Lancers! I wish I had gone to this game now. The GCL South may come down to a battle of the two teams on North Bend Road. FYI, LaSalle High School: 3091 North Bend Road St. Xavier High School: 600 W. North Bend Road

This game involved two non-Kentucky teams, but I believe the story is worth telling. Just hours before the game between Taft and Withrow, a suspicious fire burned all of the Taft uniforms. The uniforms are kept in a locked room that is only used on gamedays. Fortunately, several schools offered to let the Senators borrow their uniforms. They took 2004 Division I state champ Colerain up on the offer, so they took the field in their own green helmets, white jerseys with red numbers and "COLERAIN" in Red, and red pants. During halftime, an unspecified community group made a donation to help replace the uniforms. Also, local restauranteur Jeff Ruby pledged to pay for new uniforms. A disturbing story, that someone would do such a thing, but it was nice to see the support of others to help them out. As for the game, Withrow led 19-0 before the Senators made a furious rally that came up one point short.

Oh, this is Columbus DeSales, not the one in Kentucky! I thought this was a huge upset when I saw the title. My face looked something like this :eek: . In that case, it's not a big upset at all. They are a strong program that typically plays a very tough schedule.

CHCA lost in the Division V title game to Hamler Patrick Henry. I think the score was 42-30. Not bad for a school that has only been open for 10 years!

Final, for those who are interested.

St. X interception! Returned to 4-yard line! Looks like the D-I title will be won by a Cincinnati school for the 4th year in a row! Bombers take a knee! It's over! St. Xavier wins 24-17! :dancingpa

Tigers take possession at their own 25, 1:22 left, no timeouts. Cincinnati St. Xavier 24 Massillon Washington 17

I moved to Danville in 1999 and Boyle County won its first state title. I moved to Cincinnati earlier this year, about 3 miles from St. Xavier High School who are just 3 minutes from their first state championship. Am I a good luck charm? 2:30 left, St. Xavier with 1st and 10 at their own 33. Still 24-17.

Teams trade 3-and-outs. St. Xavier at their own 19, 1st and 10 with 3:05 left. Still 24-17.

Interception!!! :banana: St. Xavier takes possession at their own 36 with 6:10 left. Still 24-17, Bombers.
