Kentucky high-school football, Week 8

Here are some blowouts from Thursday night to get the freakin' weekend in KHSAA football rolling:

Fairview (No. 3 in the Associated Press poll for Class 3A) 68 at Paintsville 20

Louisville DeSales (AP 2A No. 6t) 54 at Louisville Shawnee 12


Monroe County (AP 3A No. 8) 41 at Bowling Green South Warren 0

Morgan County (AP 3A No. 10) 42 at Knott County Central 0

Louisville Pleasure Ridge Park (AP 6A No. 4) 53 at Louisville Seneca 18

Louisville Ballard 42 at Louisville Eastern (AP 6A No. 5) 21

Louisville Butler (AP 6A No. 7) 50 vs. Louisville Southern 0

And here are some notables from the rest of the weekend's games:

Webster County at West Paducah Heath--It's going to be a long, sad trip home from West Paducah tonight, Trojans fans, so you might as well have some fun on the way over. Leave now, and you'll have plenty of time to enjoy the western half of Kentucky's U.S. 60 yard sale.

Frankfort (AP A No. 2) at Paris--Roadtrip for Great-Great-Grandma.

Campbellsville at Williamsburg (AP A No. 4)

Bellevue at Beechwood (AP A No. 5)

Raceland-Worthington (AP A No. 6) at Nicholas County

Harlan (AP A No. 10) at Hazard (AP A No. 7)--Hazard, the defending state champ, is 2-3. And now, writes John Middleton in The Harlan Daily Enterprise: "The talented Harlan senior class has been aiming to knock Class A power Hazard from atop the district since their sophomore season. That group will get one final shot on Friday."

Louisville Holy Cross at Louisville Kentucky Country Day (AP A No. 9)

Hancock County at Owensboro Catholic (AP 2A No. 1)
--The visitors were effectively ranked 11th in this week's AP 2A poll.

Somerset (AP 2A No. 3) at Danville (AP 2A No. 2)--Game of the night in Kentucky?

Murray (AP 2A No. 4) at Crittenden County

Bardstown (AP 2A No. 5) at Christian Academy of Louisville

Middlesboro at Lexington Christian (AP 2A No. 6t)

Erlanger Lloyd Memorial at Newport Central Catholic (AP 2A No. 8)
on Saturday--NewCath, the 2010 state champ, is 2-4. And now, here come some 6-1 Juggernauts.

Elizabethtown at Louisville Central (AP 3A No. 1)--Central, winner of four of the last five 3A state championships, is 5-1 with its only loss at 6A St. X two weeks ago.

Clay County at Bell County (AP 3A No. 3)

Belfry (AP 3A No. 4) at Ashland Blazer (AP 4A No. 6)

Bourbon County (AP 3A No. 5) at Garrard County

Casey County at Wayne County (AP 3A No. 7)

Paducah Tilghman (AP 3A No. 9) at Trigg County
--If Tilghman struggles in Cadiz anywhere along the lines as it did last week at Fort Campbell, the Blue Tornado (winner of that odd 3A title in the last five years that Central didn't win but currently 4-3) might be on its way out of the AP poll. Corbin, which rolled, 64-6, at Stearns McCreary Central on Thursday night, was the 11th team in this week's poll, but the Redhounds are only 3-4. No. 13 Trigg County would be 5-2 win a win tonight, as would No. 12 Russell, with a victory over Mason County.

Pendleton County at Fort Thomas Highlands (unanimous AP 4A No. 1)--Highlands, winner of the 4A state title last season, the four 5A crowns before that and a bunch of 3A and 2A championships before then, is amazing.

Lexington Catholic (AP 4A No. 2) at Taylor County

Greenup County at Paintsville Johnson Central (AP 4A No. 9)

Jeffersontown at Elizabethtown John Hardin (AP 5A No. 2)

Woodford County at Franklin County (AP 5A No. 4)

Owensboro Apollo at Christian County (AP 5A No. 5)

Anderson County (AP 5A No. 6) at Nicholasville West Jessamine

Union Larry A. Ryle at Hebron Conner (AP 5A No. 7)

Union Randall K. Cooper (AP 5A No. 8) at Crestwood South Oldham

Harlan County (AP 5A No. 10) at Letcher County Central

Louisville Trinity (unanimous AP 6A No. 1) at Louisville duPont Manual
--Steadily roll the 'Rocks, winners of four of Kentucky's five 6A football titles.

Louisville Saint Xavier (AP 6A No. 2) at Louisville Male (AP 6A No. 6)--Meanwhile, way down in Bowling Green, ...

Lexington Henry Clay at Scott County (AP 6A No. 3)

Henderson County (AP 6A No. 8) at Daviess County--Henderson County coach Clay Clevenger, to Kevin Patton of The Gleaner"It's one of those things, the more you talk about it the more the players start thinking about it. If we put the ball on the ground in practice, sometimes I might blow up about it, but other times I just act like I didn't see it."

Boone County at Independence Simon Kenton (AP 6A No. 9)

Lexington Bryan Station (AP 6A No. 10) at Lexington Paul Dunbar--The visitors replaced Louisville Ballard in this week's Class 6A Top 10, but then Ballard went out last night and got an upset win at No. 5 Eastern.

Reidland at Barlow Ballard Memorial


Fulton City at Gleason (Tenn.)

Ohio County at Graves County

Madisonville-North Hopkins at Mortons Gap Hopkins County Central--A couple of pictures from last week's CHS loss to visiting Calloway County. The nachos looked better than the game.




Muhlenberg County at Marshall County

Butler County at Todd County Central

  1. Tom Rogers at WKDZ in Cadiz: "The Trigg County Wildcats are gearing up for a huge district showdown tonight at Perdue Field as they host Paducah Tilghman. The Wildcats are coming off a 35-0 district win last week at Webster County. A win tonight would go a long way towards giving Trigg a home game in the first round of the high school football playoffs. Coverage of Trigg County against Paducah Tilghman gets underway at 6:00pm on WKDZ 106.5 and wkdzradio.com. And don't forget the big John Maison 'Tailgate' concert at the stadium at 6:00.

    "The Fort Campbell Falcons are in the driver's seat for the top seed in the district after last Friday's impressive win over Paducah Tilghman. The Falcons jumped out to a 27-0 first quarter lead and never looked back, in rolling to a 43-14 win. The Falcons go into their bye week tonight with an overall record of 5-2, and 2-0 in the district. If the Falcons pick up the win next Friday at Webster County, they would clinch the top seed in the district, and guarantee that at least their first two playoff games would be at Fryar Stadium."

  2. Ben Montgomery, a senior at Christian Academy of Louisville, is in the clubhouse at 1-under at the KHSAA boys' golf tournament at Bowling Green Country Club. Kyle Jury from Elizabethtown and Seth Powell from Paducah Saint Mary are tied with him, but they're both still on the course.

  3. Can only imagine just how happy the ride home to Tompkinsville was Thursday evening after Monroe County's 41-0 rip of Bowling Green South Warren and the appearance of this headline in the Thursday Bowling Green Daily News: "South Warren expects challenge from Monroe County offense."

  5. I wonder if my main man, Darius Miller, tuned in from New Orleans to Maysville's WFTM to hear this one tonight: Mason County 32, Russell 28. The Royals trailed, 28-10, after three quarters, per WTFM sports director Danny Weddle.

  24. Richard Skinner reports in The Kentucky Enquirer that Walton-Verona has a defensive back, Tyler Cornelison, who is playing out his senior season with the Bearcats despite a torn anterior cruciate ligament. In Friday's 42-6 win over Gallatin County, Cornelison intercepted two passes and returned one for a touchdown. Walton-Verona is 5-2.
