George Rogers Clark 75 Johnson Central 60 (KHSAA Sweet 16®)
We run it back next year. No seniors. A favorable draw like Grayson, and we could easily do final four.

George Rogers Clark 58 St. Xavier 50 (OT) (2026 UK Healthcare KHSAA Sweet 16® Championship)
As a JC fan, Bartelson is him. He needs more love.

What assistant coaches throughout the state need more credit?
Coach Blair at JC has taken up what Burchett did and hasn't missed a beat with the OL.

Welcome to JC. You may beat us, but you're not gonna enjoy it.

We got something.

How do you contain Xavier Brown?
He must have had that mysterious "issue" suffered by Chris Rodriguez for UK That nobody would talk about.

St. Xavier 31 Male 21 (6A State Championship)
Was hoping we might shut out the privates one time. Anyhow, I have said this year Mr Football deserves to be Sivori for his impact at the level he plays at (private or not).

New rule impact
Did anyone notice in 50% of the games the MVP was a super senior? 2A. 3A, 4A? Regardless of how you think (and I know my own thoughts), can anyone deny it made a huge difference?

Belfry 33 Paducah Tilghman 28 (3A State Championship)
Give Howard a second senior year before you settle the debate.

South Warren 38 Frederick Douglass 26 (5A State Championship)

Johnson Central 42 Franklin County 24
Franklin County is a class act. Great game, two great teams. Unfortunate someone has to lose this.

Boyle County vs Johnson Central Predictions/Updates (4A State Championship)
If we don't rush for 100 yards...that'll be a bad day for us. I think we at least do that. If Boyle can keep us under 100 yards rushing, they deserve the title for sure and I'd have no problem recognizing they're the best. If. But like 2019...you never know.

Boyle County vs Johnson Central Predictions/Updates (4A State Championship)
Central is playing possessed. Boyle is always good. Classic battle.

Johnson Central vs. Franklin County Predictions/Updates
This doesn't look like the same Franklin County team as last year. Completely reimagined the offense, much more run-centric featuring Moorman, QB looks to be more dangerous on the ground than through the air. (Which is credit to a good coach, being able to change your system to play to your strengths.) That being said, it also plays far more into JC's defensive strengths. Franklin has also been extremely sloppy the last two games, very turnover and penalty-prone. All that being said, obviously they'll come in and play their best game of the year Friday night, wouldn't expect anything less. Central isn't nearly so banged up as they were after the Corbin game last year, which is a positive.

Johnson Central Or Boyle?
Nobody in Johnson County overlooking Franklin. Memory is still fresh.
-
Corbin or Boyle?
This take suddenly looks much less hot.

Johnson Central 34 Corbin 13
WSIP had Central with 496 yards rushing unofficially.

Corbin vs. Johnson Central Predictions/Updates
34-13 final, JC.

Corbin vs. Johnson Central Predictions/Updates
This game being played in round 3 is a shame. If you're gonna use this RPI, start seeding with this round. 1-8, whole state.

Frederick Douglass Football Program
Double digit D1 recruits, maybe the rest of the world expects you win something by now? Although D1 recruits are obviously the products of combines and camps now and nothing to do with on the field performance. More about height than winning. We have seen over and over again that college recruiters don't care about whether you're a winner. Ask Calipari about that. It's true in football too.

Johnson Central Head Coach Jim Matney
Beyond coaching, you'll never find a better human. He loved us all like family.

Johnson Central Head Coach Jim Matney
I'm beyond sad. He loved us. He was the best person you'll ever know.

Will Pikeville put a running clock on Belfry?
Finding games isn't that easy out here. Unless you want to play the two home games you get in your district schedule and go on the road for eight games.

Johnson Central 42 Cahokia (IL) 36 (OT)
Don't sleep on Cahokia. They're solid. They'd easily by top 5 in KY 4A. Tons of speed and pretty well coached. Their QB did get dinged up briefly but came right back in the game. He was a tough customer. So were #15 and #21.

Johnson Central vs. Bishop Sycamore (OH) Predictions/Updates (Canceled)
The RPI has ruined JC scheduling.
