Scott scored a nice road win on Friday as they thumped Holmes, 34-7.

It’s been just over a week since Kentucky head football coach Mark Stoops answered the question he’s been asked most frequently since the 2013 season ended.

Last week in the season opener, Holmes managed to get by Holy Cross in a hot and tiresome game, mostly by limiting the rushing attack and forcing the Indians to go to the air.

University of Kentucky Basketball Head Coach John Calipari was concerned that he was not going to be able to raise $1 million for charity like he did last year.

The Holmes Bulldogs outlasted the visiting Holy Cross Indians, 21-7, in a long and humid contest that included a 30-minute lightning delay.

In a game that was called at halftime due to the heat and humidity, Covington Catholic trounced Boone County, 39-6, on Saturday morning at Covington Catholic High School.

It was a thriller in Dayton and fans got their money's worth as this was one of the few games on Friday night not delayed or canceled by lightning.

Inspirational stories about individuals overcoming the loss of a limb abound. But Chris Vier may very well break new ground.
