  1. If I could go to any of these games, I would watch Russellville play Trigg County.

    Caldwell just has to eliminate silly mistakes and will be OK. A loss like this can be a great teaching tool and motivator.

    1. Wasn't that awesome? If every KHSAA football game was documented with 587 freely accessible photographs in sequence, we would be a big step closer to realizing the Kingdom on Earth.

  9. A few notes about Channel 6's first, excellent edition of "Gridiron Glory:"

    -- The Ballard Memorial Bomber-memorial wall is one of the all-time-western-Kentucky things.

    -- The Lone Oak "Beat Tilghman" locker-room countdown clock is another of the all-time-western-Kentucky things.

    -- Fulton County and Fulton City do get credit for fantastic uniforms, the best of those we saw in action Friday night in this episode (followed in order by Caldwell County, Ballard Memorial, Calloway County, Reidland, Heath and Murray). Also, it should be noted that Kentucky high schools' uniforms are so much better than Tennessee's.

    1. Someday there will be so many people in McCracken County that they will need a new high school in the southern part of the county. When that high school is built, it should be called Lone Oak.
