Won’t they go to the Glasgow Bardstown winner?

How much time?

Yes. Not as good as a whole ham, but still good. If it comes from a pig, I probably will like it. One exception is Souse, another is probably chitlins but we will never know on that one.

If only choosing one, its ham every time. I like to have both. I eat the dark meat of the turkey, so there is always plenty for me because nobody fights over it. (white meat vs dark meat, that's a debate) Ham is always solid and we always fix a spiral cut ham of some variety. It is so good as leftovers and the ham bone goes in a kettle of pinto beans a few days later.

I would feel better if Belfry was a little healthier and the game was played on Pond Creek.

I love this type of topic and there are some really good ones listed already. Brossart and Woodford both really stand out. This is a 2-year shout out, but what about Bryan Station and coach Phillip Hawkins? They are 19-3 over 2 seasons and heading into the playoffs strong.

Belfry's schedule is still not complete as they still need one game, either Week 3 or Week 8. I don't know the location of the Alter or Magoffin games Here is the schedule currently... Aug 23 - (A) Southwestern- Don Franklin Bowl Aug 30 - (H) Lexington Christian Academy - Pike County Bowl Sep 06 - Sep 13 - (?) Archbishop Kettering Alter (OH) Sep 20 - (H) Pikeville Sep 27 - (?) Magoffin Co Oct 04 - (A) Floyd Central Oct 11 - Oct 18 - (H) Lawrence Co Oct 25 - (A) Pike Central Nov 01- (H) Johnson Central Bold - District

Reportedly Belfry plays LCA not sure about Pikevilles opponent

David denied it a few day ago on facebook. Other than that, not hearing anything Facebook

Video posted on his facebook blog where he denies the Bourbon rumor but says he is moving out of the mountains. Facebook

Mayfield's record for the last decade is incredible. I don't know how it could've been any better. A little info on Belfry's run over the last 10 years (2009-2018)... 119-24 Overall Record 73-10 at home 46-14 on the road 37-6 playoff record 28-2 at home 9-4 on the road 7 consecutive appearances in State Championship game 4 Titles 3 Runner Ups

This is tough. In any given year a particular county could make a claim, but over the long haul, a few counties would continue to be at the top of the list. The OP asked "who would win" and so I looked at it as a strength ranking, each team beaing able to win against the team below them. Given that parameter, my top ten would be 1. Jefferson 2. Campbell 3. Kenton 4. Warren 5. Boyle 6. Graves 7. Pike 8. Johnson 9. Daviess 10. Pulaski I really struggled with 2-5. Either of those 4 could make a claim against the others, and would likely have cycles at the top.

Come on. Kenton would be very tough, but wouldn't touch a Jefferson Co all star team.

Here is a slow motion version. A little fuzzy, but gives a different look. Facebook

Is this pass interference: Yes or No? This was a controversial play in last night's Belfry/Boyle game. I didn't want to post this in the game thread.

That was a war and as high school goes, this was big boy football. Kudos to my Pirates. Belfry's staff had them ready, and made some defensive changes this week that made a big difference. And the players gave it their all and left it all on the field. Can't ask them for more than that. The Pirates really dominated the game for the first half or 3 quarters but gave Boyle too many gifts and you can't do that with a great team. Dixon was hobbled much earlier than his injury on the field. He wasn't 100% and even though he did a pretty good job covering Smith for the most part, he did not have the wheels to cover him 1 on 1 later on. But who does? Belfry moved the ball very well on Boyle, better than I expected actually. They got their yards, but the fumbles were killer. They had a problem at times with the QB/FB exchange. Not sure if it was a case of Browning riding Coleman longer than normal, and pulling it out later than normal, or something else. I credit Boyle's defensive quickness for that. Congrats to Boyle County. You guys are a solid team and you made the big plays you needed to make to advance. Very characteristic of Rebel teams I've seen in the past. Well coached, hard driven, fundamental football. Good luck moving forward. All in all a great atmosphere and game between two big time programs and staffs. Players on both sides made some outstanding plays and the fans were entertained.

Awesome, way to go LaRue. Congrats Coach Jaggers

I’m pretty sure no live video. If Boyle doesn’t have their own radio crew then tune in to wdhr.com and listen live to Bobby Norman and Steve Mickey.

Both these teams have been ultra successful, especially since the turn of the century. In the past 18+ seasons, from 2000 to the present, here are some numbers... Boyle County Record 218-40 - 85% Playoff Record 57-11 - 84% Regional Champs 9 State Runner Ups 1 State Champs 7 Belfry Record 218-47 - 82% Playoff Record 65-12 - 84% Regional Champs 13 State Runner Ups 4 State Champs 6

From a competitive standpoint, I'm not sure this is the best matchup these two could have had over the years. But I sure am fired up about it. This is why you play the game, matchups like this. Atmosphere should be rocking on Pond Creek tonight. I hope Boyle brings an army of fans. Like you, win or lose, I'm ready for this. The excitement for this game rivals some of the old games vs. Russell or Breathitt in the playoffs. It feels an awful lot like the night Somerset came to CAM Stadium as a heavy favorite in 2010. Safe travels to all the Rebels tonight. Get there early. Have a hot chocolate and a popcorn, and be sure to try a Mildred May hotdog. Go Big Red!!!

Hard to express how much I am looking forward to this game.

Other than Belfry's shootout victory, this was my favorite game result of the weekend. I'm so glad Scott County won and knocked FD out of the hunt. :banana:

Awesome win for LaRue Co. Congrats Coach Jaggers.

Welcome to BGP. Rash is special and is is the definition of power. He will fit in so well at Army. Congrats to him on such a tremendous opportunity. Here is the block you are talking about if I did this right. Dagen wa 40 yards downfield and made a devastating block. Shows his athleticism and drive to outrun the RB and give this kind of effort. Garrard County High School - Dagen Rash highlights - Hudl

My mind is still reeling over that Lawrence County / Western Hills game. I listened to the last half of the 4th quarter and it was very exciting. I'd like to see whether any KHSAA playoff records were set in that game for yards or points. The Breathitt / McCreary game was puzzling for the opposite reasons. Surprised the Bobcats struggled with McCreary to the extent they did. The playoffs start to get interesting in the 2nd round and forward, IMO. This week there are several games that look to be very interesting. Tilghman vs Elizabethtown and Russell vs Waggener are games to watch. LaRue vs Caldwell is interesting after LaRue's performance last week, even though Caldwell is still a favorite. The really big game is Belfry vs Lexington Catholic, and should be one the better games in the 2nd round in any class.
