Tigers scored on a long pass play to start the 2nd half and are up 29-0, my sources tell me. That’s 3TD passes for Brady Clark, all of 29 yards or more.

Bardstown is up 21-0 at halftime.

Bethlehem at Lynn Camp is also still waiting to kick off.

The best B’town teams in my experience and historical research tells me that’s always the difference-maker.

Not surprised Bardstown won, but the margin as people were sending me updates shocked me.

Danville had 201 total yards, but marched backward 125 in penalties. After Burns' big outburst last week v. John, the Tigers held him to 68 yards on 22 carries. Bardstown had 217 total yards, but 97 in penalties. Tereylin Calbert had his second game in a row with a kickoff return score and a receiving touchdown. He caught seven balls for 152 yards, including a 93-yarder from Brady Clark, who was 10-15 with 164 yards, 1 INT and 1TD.

Actually, in the final poll Scott Co. is ranked twice this week, in 6A and 5A!

This game was played at Nelson Co. I didn’t realize until earlier this week that SC was building a new field and will play all their home games at NC. For those tied to SC, what are their plans? Are they switching to turf?

I haven't seen them as closely as Hearsay, but that defense looks like it's gonna be nasty. And the offense should be a lot better with mostly everyone back and more mature physically.

I'll check out how Bethlehem looks against Providence, Ind., as they debut on their new turf field. Some wild storms rolled through last night and did some damage to the still-under-construction fieldhouse and I think kicked up some of the rubber pellets with the wind, but I've been told it's ready to go. I'll also check out Washington Co. v. Nelson Co. for what may or may not be the first time those schools have ever met. Still trying to figure that part out. If they have played, it's been a loooooong time.

I know it was a big shake-up for me locally but I finally got what I wanted with an all-local D3 with E'town, LaRue, B'town, Nelson Co. and TNHS. Even though Bardstown has been in control in the rivalry with NC in the past decade, it's still always a great local game for fans, and with there now being playoff implications on the line, it becomes even bigger. Still not sure why NC was still trying to slug it out in 5A after the TNHS split. Almost destroyed the program.

I'm all about some Dairy Cheer smashburger action when I'm over that way. Chirico's is very good. Very cool place in downtown P'ville. Is The Station still open?

I always heard that was the case for the Bracken Polar Bears also, but it seems like that name would come up in Alaska and other cold-weather states some. I love the story about how Somerset became the Briar Jumpers. Love that rabbit mascot.

On another note, the Bethlehem school campus is extremely land-locked. They have a gym connected to the school, and a weight room around the corner. Football, soccer and softball have been played back behind St. Monica church a few blocks away for as long as I know. Baseball used to be on the campus of St. Joe MS until it moved to county-owned Dean Watts Park, the site of local LL baseball, softball and football, about a decade ago. The new athletic complex is closer to Thomas Nelson HS than Bethlehem HS.

First phase is football/track and softball with grandstand and fieldhouse. Later on there will be tennis courts, indoor archery range, baseball and practice fields. That will be a few years down the road as they will have to do another big fundraising campaign to cover those costs.

First-ever meeting for NC and Bethlehem, and that will be the night they dedicate the new field.

I need to go out and check it out. Last time I was at the new athletic complex was right before they laid down the carpet. It's going to be really nice once everything is complete.

I'm not sure if there was ever any discussion as far as what the mascot would be when Bethlehem started admitting boys in the early '70s. The Eagles nickname is a nod to the old St. Joe Prep Eagles, the all-boys boarding school that closed in 1968.

Never knew Jon Bois was from Louisville. Good read. Jared Lorenzen performed miracles right in front of me - SBNation.com

Never saw him play in person in HS, but I was still living in NoKy at the time and fondly recall how glorious his HS highlights were, and how the Cincy TV stations had to hold their nose and come across the river to Ky to cover Highlands during his days. The footage was just too good, with him bouncing would-be tacklers off of him like he was playing against 6-year-olds.

Shout out to the St. Joe Prep Eagles — Undefeated since 1968!

Weird in that the very next day they dropped it back down to $2.42, and today it's $2.35.

I got it for $2.42 yesterday in Bardstown and was shocked to see it for $2.79 when I came off the BG headed to Lexington. Had to go back this morning and Bardstown had bumped it to $2.59.

Raegan Franklin of North Oldham set the new 2A pole vault record at 12-03. Screwed up and posted this in the wrong thread. Sorry for the mess. Anyway, this girl was impressive. I think she had attempts left but it wasn’t restarted after the first rain delay.

Edit ...
