Heath at Reidland--They've been up early this morning in Reidland, getting fired up for this game.

Calloway County vs. Murray--Yeah, it's a big deal, Ricky Martin of the Murray Ledger & Times tells Channel 6.

    1. The first game in tonight's Joe Jaggers Bowl is Bowling Green Greenwood at North Hardin. The event's namesake coached Trigg County, Fort Knox and North Hardin to 292 victories. And over the last four seasons, North Hardin was coached by the namesake's son, Crad Jaggers, who resigned this past offseason after leading the Trojans to their first playoffs win since 2004 and who remains at the Radcliff school as a teacher. North Hardin did not play last Friday, so tonight--in the Joe Jaggers Bowl--is the head-coaching debut of Brent Thompson, who takes over for Crad Jaggers. Interesting debut.

  3. From the Ohio County Monitor, here's a little more explanation of the Muhlenberg County-Ohio County brouhaha in the Coal Bowl that result in the ejection of Ohio County's coach, Todd Houston. The Eagles were reportedly considering an appeal to the KHSAA, hoping to usurp Coach Houston's three-game suspension. Will he be on the field at Schafer-Glover Field in Hartford for tonight's Ohio County game with Hancock County?

    2. Caldwell County-Union County was a dead heat of fantastic uniforms, but the Tigers of Princeton beat the Braves of Morganfield easily on the scoreboard, 45-15.

  6. Lexington Catholic is hosting Ensworth (Tenn.) on ESPNU right now. The home-standing Knights trail, 56-7, in the third quarter, and, so, we have a "running clock" in effect. "We certainly didn't see this coming," one of the ESPNU guys just said.

  11. Union Larry A. Ryle lost its opener two Fridays ago, playing out of a shotgun formation for much of the game. As Mike Fields reported in the Lexington Herald-Leader and the Ryle principal then relayed, Ryle switched to a power-I for much if its Friday night victory over Lexington Henry Clay.
