Knox Central has been playing well, although they let a win against Wayne Co. slip through their fingers. This match-up is pretty even and I expect turnovers to decide the outcome.

Agreed. I think they have the same strengths. Fewest mistakes wins.

I have a great deal of respect for Tom Larkey. We tried very hard to hire him at Knox Central before Wayne Mills. However, Rock was already beginning to slide before he left. Things are different now. Their only real district hurdle for years was Bell Co. but the district is much stronger now. Still, having seen Rockcastle last week, I think they are on an upswing that has been slowly coming for the past two or three seasons. I think if you give it just a bit more time Rockcastle will again challenge for championships. However, the days of dominating year after year are over.

This was a much better game than the final score would indicate. Rock will be a tough out in the playoffs.

Final

Touchdown KC

32-13 with 6:40 left.

6 yard run by Vaughn. PAT no good again.

Knox Central 26. Rock 13.

Score remains the same after 3 quarters.

Maybe Lovell. He has the most carries of any back this season.

I bet you're right.

Rock threatening but the Panthers take over on downs at the 22.

Rock answers with a 5 yard run. PAT no good. 20-13 at the half. Rock looking much better after a shaky start.

Finally got the guy's name. LaBell I think.

Carton again from the 4. PAT no good.

KC 20 RC 7

4:43 left till halftime

13 yard run by LeFleur?

Knox 14 Rock 7

End of the 1st qtr. 14-0.

Panthers defense looking really good early.

Rock goes 3 and out. Nice drive for the Panthers as Doolittle Vaughn goes in from 5 yards out.

KC 14. RC 0

That's Jemel Spell check.

Jewel Carton breaks off an 80 yard run on the first play from scrimmage.

Knox Central 7. Rockcastle 0

This will be only the 2nd game this year that Knox Central will play on their home field but I think that will be enough of an edge to pick up the win.

I'm not complaining and I have no idea what can be done, but for this game to generate no discussion further confirms that BGP has lost the fans of this part of the state.

Pineville having one of their best seasons in years as they move to 5-2.

Wayne wraps up a district championship while Knox Central and Rockcastle will battle for the second seed. Good job by WC to battle back from an early 14 point hole.

Pick 6 for Wayne to seal the victory.

Two teams headed in opposite directions. Rock on the way back.

This will wrap up a district championship for Wayne Co. if they score here.

Heckava game. Time running low. Gotta go Panthers!
