HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL

When the news hit from the July 28 Kentucky High School Athletic Association Board of Control meeting, football teams in Kentucky needed to figure out how to adjust their schedule with the first three games of the season wiped out.

With an additional week added to the regular season, it left nine open weeks to schedule games for KHSAA sponsored games. Those games could only include in-state opponents or school’s that bordered the Bluegrass along state lines.

Some area schools elected to fill their schedule with all nine games, others went with eight.
