  4. Boyle County 48 at Lincoln County 46 in the 12th ... I'm going to have to read about that one. Lots of Facebook traffic on that one early in the day Tuesday.

  6. With the Internet down, we opted to go shopping for next year's snow boots at the Rural King, and I was thrilled to hear that they were playing the Second Region semis over the PA system. Madisonville's 1310 AM was still broadcasting the games (Hoptown over Henderson County, Webster over Trigg) even though Madisonville-North Hopkins had been eliminated the night before. When we got back out to the car, I checked 730 AM, and, being the "Official Station of Maroon Station," they had bugged out of Morganfield to come home and get back to playing Alabama and Tanya Tucker hits.
