Flyers seem to be getting better and will be tested again this week against cross-town rival Frankfort High down at Bellepoint. I was very surprised to see this game so close, but hats off to the Flyers. 13 of Lafayette's points came from poor coaching calls.... A onside kick returned for a TD in the 1st quarter and a fake kneel interception return for a TD with less than 20 second remaining in the 1st half. Stepp needs to trust his players and not try and overcompensate for his lack of trust with trick plays. I am glad that Timmons is finally seeing the field and getting the ball, the kid is the real deal. Keep working Flyers and get that first win next week against the Panthers. Its how you're playing in November not September so keep improving.

I wish nothing, but the best of luck to Sarah.

I think Hills is going to win this one. I don't think this one is going to be as close as everyone thinks. I am going with WHHS 38 FHS 14.

I am hoping my Flyers come out ready to play for the home opener. This is a night of first for the Flyers at home with it being the home opener and Stepp's home debut. I say Lafayette wins this one, but I hope FC doesn't quit. Go get 'em Flyers.

Congratulations to LCA on the big out of state win. It seems like they got complacent towards the end, but way to represent KY.

Bourbon County must be much improved.

I have seen him at running back and receiver. Stepp needs to get this kid on the field, no questions asked.

Frankfort High- Quan Weaver/RB Western Hills- Dylan Curry/QB Franklin County- Jeremy Gardner/ATH and Wesley Watkins OL/DT The city of Frankfort has young talent as well with Ryan Timmons, an freshman athlete, he will make some noise this year.

Danville big time in this one. Stepp just isn't the guy FC needed. Parents are already wanting Coach Ledford back.

Bob Allen Pigskin Classic banquet was tonight in Danville and Aaron Stepp was the only head coach not in attendance. I hope he is game planning for Danville. I am planning on making the trip to Admiral Stadium.

I am taking Henry County. D-Coordinator Dennis Ledford will have the Wildcats ready behind their stud MLB.

Jeremy Gardner is the answer to both of these questions. He is the starting quarterback and scored on a two yard run.

He did not return to the team. Not only is he the teams QB, but he was a great high school punter. He is a great baseball pitcher and has a chance to go far with baseball. I believe his priority was just baseball.

Franklin County is just struggling right now and dealing with a lot of adversity. They return one starter on the offensive line and he is out 4-6 weeks with a ankle injury. Their best skill player has torn his meniscus and is out. Another skill guy who contributed last year is out. Quarterback is gone. The Flyers are simply rebuilding and need time. Stepp needs to figure out how he is going to use the team's talents because he is defintely not doing that right now. Franklin Goins, Wesley Watkins and Jeremy Gardner being experienced veterans need to fill the roles of being leaders. Watkins looked like a seasoned veteran at Left Tackle and is a force to be reckon with on defense. Gardner is taking a lot on his back right now by playing QB. I hope the Flyers can turn it around with Danville looming on the schedule for next week.

Damian Hicks will not be playing tonight and is possibly out for the season with a torn meniscus. I wish Damian a speedy recovery and hope he can get back for the playoffs. This is a huge blow to the Flyers as Hicks is a senior leader along with being their top skill player. Timmons and Chenault are going to have to step up big for the Flyers to compete.

Louisville Holy Cross vs. Franklin County Danville vs. Mason County

Is Kirk an asst. coach at Woodford?

Mefford will be working with the Franklin County Public School System. He is a teacher at the Phoenix Academy, which is a credit recovery school in Franklin County High School.

Caleb Watkins from Corbin just picked up a 1-AA offer from Wofford, but should receive D1A offers here soon.

When Vance Hall goes, Franklin County goes. Brandon Jennels will be looked to for some leadership as well a 6'5" Mike Samples. Younger talent such as Garrett Hamilton, Eric Meyer and incoming freshman Ryan Timmons will suprise a bunch of folks.

Eli Howard of Franklin County deserved at least honorable mention. Nice to see Thompson named honorable mention and named to the East Junior All-Stars. Will he be participating? It is also great to see Jordan Cumpston be selected to participate in the Sophomore showcase. FC will have a heck of a team next year with Thompson, Cumpston and Sutherland on the mound to go with catcher Woolums, McKee, youngster Eric Meyer and Trey Willis.
