Introduction

These two match-ups played at Rawlings Stadium in Georgetown should provide an interesting night of football.  The first game will pit (1-0) Lincoln County Patriots against the home-standing (0-1) Scott County Cardinals.  The second game will feature (1-0) Lexington Catholic against a (1-0) Bowling Green squad which has won 43 straight regular season games.

Lincoln County (1-0) vs. Scott County (0-1)

Last week Scott County lost a heart-breaking 32-28 decision to Madison Central on a fourth quarter touchdown. Coach Jim McKee's squad trailed 21-8 at half-time tonight but rallied to nip Lincoln County by a score of  22-21.  Josh Morgan scored three touchdowns for the Patriots in the first half including a flea-flicker 62 yard TD reception from split end Brad Wall.

Matt Franklin, a 5-10 160 pound Sr. halfback, scored three touchdowns for the Cardinals including the deciding score on a 3 yard run mid-way through the fourth quarter.  A controversial pass play on fourth-and-eight from the Lincoln County 24 kept the drive alive.   Justin Christman threw a pass to Landon Hawkins which was either a reception or an interception by Lincoln County's Vince Logan depending on the point of view.  The referees, despite the arguments of the Lincoln County coaching staff, ruled that both players had possession, giving the ball to the offensive player.  Scott County scored the winning touchdown two plays later.

Bowling Green (1-0) vs. Lexington Catholic (1-0)

The much anticipated shoot-out never materialized in this game as Bob Sphire's Lexington Catholic team totally dominated Bowling Green 35-0.  Coach Kevin Wallace's Bowling Green squad was handicapped by an injury to their 250 pound fullback Tremayne Taylor, who only carried the ball three times.  Their All-State linebacker Robert Reynolds played the entire game with an arm injury.

Catholic's  Ryan Neff had another great evening, connecting on 19 of 29 passes for 235 yards and three touchdowns.  He also ran for 35 yards and scored once.   Clay Wolford had another big game catching 7 passes for 126 yards and three touchdowns.  The Catholic defense held the Bowling Green offense to 185 yards while Lexington Catholic rolled up 378 total yards.
