As a football fan, how could anyone not appreciate a game like this one. Two teams that were evenly matched battling it out for a state title. No game is won on a single play, and no game is lost on a single play either. This game was a tale of two halves. Continue reading High School Football Playoffs – PIKEVILLE DENIED IN FINAL MINUTE

You have to go all the way back to 2014 to find a 4A state championship game that doesn’t have the Johnson Central Golden Eagles playing for a title. Since that time, the Golden Eagles have been on one of the best four year runs of any school, regardless of class. Over that span they have gone an astonishing 51-7. Head coach Jim Matney has put together a juggernaut of a mountain football program during that period and brought Johnson Central’s first state title home to Paintsville during the 2016 season. On Saturday, December 1st, the Golden Eagles will once again square off with a familiar opponent in the Class 4A Commonwealth Gridiron Bowl State Championship at Kroger Field. For the third year in a row they will face off with the Wildcats of Franklin-Simpson.

What a year it has been for the Redhounds of Corbin. One year ago the Redhounds were licking their wounds after a heartbreaking loss at the hands of the Boyle County Rebels in the Class 3A State Finals. The Redhounds spent the last 364 days grinding in hopes of getting back to tomorrow, the Finals. To get there….they would have to exercise a demon and beat those same Rebels who broke their hearts last season. Continue reading High School Football Playoff – UNFINISHED BUSINESS

That would be Senior Campbell Dawahare. Continue reading High School Football – Maroon Brother for Life
