CARLISLE, Ky. — Turnovers, negative plays, and untimely penalties disrupted the Fairview offense and Jayden Watkins ran wild for Nicholas County, as the Bluejackets blanked the Eagles 38-0 on a wet Friday night at Bluejacket Stadium.

"We needed a game where everybody needed to play four quarters and needed to execute the game plan and play in sloppy field conditions just to know when cal

IRONTON — For the Ironton Fighting Tigers, it might be better to receive than to give.

Wolfe was 18 of 23 passing for 434 yards and 3 touchdowns. His passing yardage benefitted from nearly half the yards coming after the catch, including Edwards who went 49 and 85

CHESAPEAKE — It was a game of big plays, and the Portsmouth Trojans came up just a little bigger.

FLATWOODS — Some key offensive plays, and a solid rushing performance helped Russell overcome a sluggish first half and help the Red Devils rout the Fleming County Panthers 41-6 in their district opener on Friday night at Henry R. Evans Stadium. "Execution early on was disappointing," Russell offensive coordinator Lance Evans. "I don't know if the Ashland game kind of led over into this game.
