Been waiting to make a prediction. This year since the first game Frankfort seems to be playing to the level of the competition, thus the close game with BB. I scouted the Beechwood and Bellevue game and mostly came away with the field was the winner. Neither team really stopped the other, but field conditions did. Was impressed with Buckler, but not a good game to scout because neither team could hold onto the ball. Should be a good one and I'll have to go with my Panthers 21-14. All you Bellevue people be careful on your trip and enjoy the game.

Coaching at Frankfort we always heard with that speed and that talent you should win. Here's a heads up not everyone can coach and be succesfull at schools like that. Heck until Foley got to Frankfort they had two 5-5 seasons under coach Thacker and he followed 3 others that never had winning seasons. It's been my experience that kids with all that talent can be difficult to coach, between I'm that good type of attitude to just being head cases. So those that have never coached in those situations have no idea how difficult it can be just to get kids out and then keep them eligble is another story.

I've been involved with Frankfort football since 1969 and the visiting cheerleaders have never cheered on the home teams sideline. The visiting bleachers are small, but safe. You should've played there when both teams dressed in the old field house, talk about cramped for the visiting team. Sorry you were treated badly.

Yes it was, and I'm surprised,thought Bellevue would win, but thought it would be more competitive.

I would say a little of both. I know that's not much of an answer.

Bellevue may win, but I doubt they name the score.

I think BGPs are much closer to being correct.

If anyone plays LCA close in the playoffs I will be surprised, and yes I remember what happened last year. I also don't think LCA has forgotten.

We win a few and some people just get real cocky.

Would be Hills first city sweep, don't know how much importance coach Miller puts into it. Injuries for Hills' could be a concern, but that's when you normally get hurt is when you're worried about it.

^ For some reason coach Harp requested the game be played at Frankfort, maybe a scheduling conflict at Danville's field, not really sure the reason.

26-46 is what I came up with and Danvilles 3 wins over teams with a combined 4-23 you make numbers say what you want.

2003 FHS 22- Franklin County 14 FHS 13- WHHS 7. Might want to get your facts straight before you start talking trash.

^ You're right as not as many football field are crowned like the used to be. I guess because a lot of fields double as soccer fields. I guess it must have been 03 when it seemed like it rained every Friday.

I realize Beechwood is Beechwood and saying they've played the toughest schedule in 1a is just that. Last year they beat Dixie 29-6 and lost this year 47-7. They beat Holy Cross 28-7 away and won in ot at home this year 36-35 and scrimmaged Highlands last year. Beechwoods always good, but these numbers suggest not as good as in the past.

I think your district plays ours. They would both have first round games at home then the second place team will probably be at Frankfort for the second round. Then I think your district will host the regional championship. I could be wrong, but don't think I am.

Thanks so much.

Can someone tell me where Bellevues field is ?

You must really hate it. She is such a fine young lady.

^ That's all you got out of that excellent post?

Yeah that was all on the female kicker wasn't it. Not that she was on a team with a bunch of morons. I've told this story before. We had a girl kick for us. In one game she was named homecoming queen at halftime, did a great pooch kickoff we recovered and kicked an extra point. She also sang wind beneath my wings at graduation that would bring tears to your eyes. She ended up playing goalie at Centre College. One of my favorite people of all time.

I understand what you're saying pappa, but to get on here and say people that put the poll together don't have a clue is way off base.

It amazes me that one team gets left off and the entire poll is not accurate.

I know come playoff time some districts try to have a mutual understanding they won't trade tapes of each other to other teams.

Probably more accurate than any others.
