Trinity has the ball in the red zone, GRC held on downs and then got two first downs to run out the clock. Was 28-20 - a great, great game. And the finals was another great one. GRC won 28-21 and that Tim Hampton dude was a beast.

Tough for Ballard Two years in a row leading in the semifinals at home late and then lose the game. The Bruins really improved from the start of the season. Congrats!

Folks, that was a really, really good football game. If you didn't see it then I would suggest you go to the WDRB app and watch it from start to finish. A big-time slugfest between two fantastic teams. I thought Zane Johnson struggled a bit but he still threw two big TD passes for the Shamrocks. Trinity could not get the run going against the FD defense. Trinity's defense was also outstanding. Some big plays from a lot of guys but have to say Brady McEnaney was super, Dane Morrow made plays all over the field but the other LB - Drew Davis - was the MVP for me. Had a ton of tackles, plus forced the fumble and recovered it in the fourth quarter. Just a fun game all around. Congrats to coach Cobb!

KCD has a very solid QB, a 1,000-yard rusher and a WR with close to 1,000 yards About the same with Raceland I don't think this will be a blowout and could a very good KCD kicker be the difference?

Tilghman by a very close margin.

Run the ball for 150-plus yards here and that team wins. Really think it's a toss up. Last time, Ballard ran for over 100 but Station had close to 200. Ballard has improved. Bruins 31, Station 28

Running clock in a hurry.

I expect nothing less. I remember Trinity scrimmaging McCracken a few years back and was a great program then and keeps growing and getting better. I wouldn't be surprised to see them move the ball a little with a few trick plays and the like. I just doubt they can stop Trinity's offense. Was just look at the Mustangs stats on line and it looks like they gave up 440 yards of offense to Barren County. Rocks roll.

That is nine in a row in the playoffs for the Shamrocks over the Tigers. And 19 of the past 23 in the series. Impressive night for the Rocks.

Sounds like a great game! Was close all night long. Congrats Bruins.

I did not expect this. But not shocked. What is SK's record against Louisville teams? Maybe we should have all seen it coming. Congrats FC!

Lynn is injured; was on crutches at the game. And some real bad info on the season tickets. Not sure why anyone would even think they wouldn't sell tickets to season ticket holders. Was told that has always been the plan - like it is every season.

Ballard vs. Manual in week two will be a barnburner.

Male is the best team in 6A! Bulldogs 35 Crimsons 21

Rocks up 38-0 Running clock early in the third quarter

DeSales up 21-6 The COlts are much improved! Had a feeling about this one. J'town hadn't played the toughest competition.

As far as N. Ky, doubt there will be anyone left after three rounds. Simon Kenton gave up 50 and 58 to CovCath and Beechwood and then 36 to Great Crossing right? Male might score 70 on the Pioneers in the second round.

Thanks for posting this. Knew there had to be some reason for the massive changes this week. As far as 6-A, Male and Douglass have the most/best athletes, Trinity has the best defense. Manual is not too far off and St. X will still be there. Will be stunned if one of those five schools don't win it all.

So, there was a 'change and clean up' in the RPI calculations. I knew it had to be something. Just saw RockNation posted in another thread and clicked on the link for the note from the KHSAA. Again, just a quick look and there was a massive switch in the numbers in one week. It had to be something other than the ratings evening themselves out. And it was. https://khsaa.org/10-06-23-football-playoff-schedule-request-and-football-rpi-clarification-and-clean-up/

Yes, I understand the ratings get 'better' as the season goes on. But the numbers have never been that dramatically different. You are basically talking about 8-10 teams that saw the RPI number drop 30 percent. Again, I am not a math wizard but that doesn't seem right in one week. And it's not just 6-A. We went from 20-plus teams at 1.00000 (or higher) to the highest RPI now in the state being .87961 and only two teams in the whole state over .80000. I just find it very odd that it's such a dramatic shift in one week.

OK, I am not a math wizard and don't know the whole program So someone please help me if I am wrong. But the RPI numbers are way, way, way different than they were last week. Did one week of scores change things that much? If I recall there were 7 or 8 teams with 1.00000 or higher ratings and now the highest ranked team in 6-A has a .69526. I mean the better teams are at or near the top now but why such a big change in the numbers?

Should be a close game for a while But in the end X pulls it out 35-21

Trinity 24-14 Won't be easy but will be a win.

I get that it will play itself out But dang the No. 1 team in the class lost to the No. 12 team by a score of 36-3 That's what just baffles my mind. I get Trinity is 3-3 and where it's at I am fine with but the team they did beat 36-3 is No. 1. Explain that one?

Just looked at the stats on the scoreboard Pretty wild Trinity had 262 yards rushing and 261 yards passing Very balanced and that is something they have been missing for most of the season. On a side note, when had St. X ever given up 262 yards rushing? Yikes! That's not a fun film for a defensive coordinator to watch.
