Thank you, GoHeath! I'm hoping for a surprise--somewhere, anywhere, but especially in West Paducah--in Friday night's games. Here are some others that intrigue me from the weekend ...
Knox Central at Harlan County. He can't go home again, but he can try to hang the first loss of the season on the team that resulted from the consolidation of his old school.
Harlan at Leslie County. The home-standing Eagles of Hyden have been improving their standing.
Prestonsburg at Betsy Layne. So, too, have been the Bobcats of Betsy Layne.
Middlesboro at Morgan County. Jay Compton reported in The Middlesboro Daily News that the Blue Jackets were headed to West Liberty yesterday for tonight's Sorghum Bowl throwdown. That's fun to think about.
St. X at Louisville Central (No. 1 in the Associated Press Class 3A poll).
Beechwood at Elizabethtown. Here's hoping Etown's homecoming dance is happy, anyway.
Russellville at Franklin-Simpson.
North Hardin at Grayson County. The soccer players are arriving.
Edmonson County at Logan County. Our neighbors across the street, whom we love, are grandparents of one of Edmonson County's running backs.
Newport at Ludlow. This is the Kentucky that I want to next know more of.
Hopkins County Central at Muhlenberg County.
Bishop Brossart at Newport Central Catholic (AP 2A No. 1).
Glasgow at Somerset.
Hebron Conner at Crestwood South Oldham. Time to get serious, just as you were saying.
Indianapolis Cathedral at Louisville Trinity (AP 6A No. 1).
Bell County at Wayne County. Meanwhile, back home in Pineville, ...
Fort Thomas Highlands (AP 4A No. 1) at Covington Catholic on Saturday.
Adair County at Bardstown Bethlehem. This would be a fine trip. I'd go one way up and the other way back.
Louisville Trinity is only going to play three regular season games this year against teams from Kentucky -- and they haven't played any of them yet. So far, the Shamrocks have played two games against teams from Nashville (Brentwood Academy and Montgomery Bell) and two games against teams from Cincinnati (Elder and St. X) They beat Cincinnati St. X 17-7, they won the other three games in blowouts.
ReplyDeleteThe three Kentucky schools they are going to play are Louisville St. X, Louisville Manual, and Louisville Male.
Northern Kentucky really isn't all that interesting. It's basically just the suburbs of Cincinnati. That part of the state looks (and feels) very much like that suburb in Illinois where we used to go to the mall on our school trips to St. Louis.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, I do like Cincinnati a lot. It's basically a much better version of Louisville.
Louisville might well be the greatest city in America, and I find northern Kentucky to be fascinating.
