I was at the game and we got no explanation for this. Maybe it was discussed on the update thread. On Cov Caths last drive, after the long run by the QB down to the Boyle 14. Cath had 1st and 10 from the 14. Boyle had 3 timeouts. Boyle got the personal foul facemask on the next play. ½ the distance to the goal automatic 1st down. 1st and goal from the 7. Cov Cath got the new 1st down, but the chains never moved. After 2 more plays and 2 Boyle timeouts, Cov Cath got the ball to the 4 and the refs measured and awarded them another 1st down (after CC had gained 3 yards total) Colonels could then take the knee after gaining a total of 3 yards for a fresh set of downs. Did anyone watching a stream get an explanation for that?

39⁰ and a fine windy mist about an hour before kickoff

Good call.

5 point game - Lexington Christian Academy 4 point game - Hart County 3 point game - Central 2 point game - Corbin 1 point game - Newport Central Catholic

39th on the list of all time wins nationally as of the beginning of 2023. 11 State titles. Tremendous tradition! Hopefully the administration finds the right coach and then gives that coach the support this proud program deserves.

Its been that way in that middle of nowhere area for decades and decades. '84, '87, '89, '91, '92, '94, 99, 2000 (2), '01 (2), '02, '03 (2), '09, 10,'17 (2), '20, '21, '22, '23 - Over the past 40 seasons, one (or both - 4 times) of the two schools in the county won a state championship 22 times in 4 different classes. Many of those years they played in the same class and both teams couldn't win or go to state in the same year. Winning streaks: 47 - Boyle (with 3 other 25+ game streaks) 42- Danville Danville had a dominating run from the middle 80's to mid 2000's. Boyle began its run in the late 90's. And when you consider football talent in the area, tiny (now defunct) Harrodsburg High, 10 miles away, produced more NFL talent than Danville and Boyle combined during that time period. Pioneers such as Jason Dunn, Craig Yeast & Dennis Johnson all played in the league along with a slew of others that went on to play D1.

I'm sure I'm in the minority, but I believe last years Boyle team was just a bit stronger than this years squad. However that amount is negligible at best. Still believe the Rebels handle business come Friday with a comfortable win, 42ish-14ish.

LCA at Mayfield and the Central at CAL rematch are two matchups I'm looking forward to in the quarterfinals.

Just checked in on Ohio Div 1 - The lower seed won 4 of the 8 games there tonight as well.

Male, St X & Manual all go down on the same night. The lower seed won 5 of the 8 games. Here's what the RPI looks like for the 8 teams still standing.

97 yard TD run by Brown after a Boyle int. 41-6 late in the half. Running clock. *Brown with 174 yds rushing on his last 2 carries.

Quick stop for the Rebs, followed by a 2 play 82 yard drive. 34-7 with 4 mins left in the half. Brown broke off a 77 yd run and got chased down from behind by the state 200 meter champ from LCC. No quit in this team. Boyle announcers very impressed with their speed and the way they play the game.

Two quick TDs by Boyle to right the ship. 27-6 mid 2nd qtr

Letcher came to play and the Rebels are having an off night, which very well could be caused by what Letcher Co Central us doing to them more than just being an off night. Letcher has stopped Boyle twice on downs and intercepted Murphy once for his first int of the year. 13-6 Rebels 2nd qtr.

Is this the most lopsided loss in the long storied history of the program? I'm very familiar with the Ads program since 1984, and I cannot remember them giving up 66 points in a game, let alone a 66 point defeat.
