It was I who only a few months before was saying how I try to not attend my high school’s football games. But I will make one exception to this rule. If they happen to be playing for the state championship I will check it out.

My Scott County Cardinals had the privilege (if that’s what you want to call it), of competing for this years State Championship. Unfortunately, it had to be against number 1 nationally ranked Trinity Shamrocks. These guys show no mercy and Bob Beatty is an asshole.

When you are up several points and there are only a few seconds left in the first half, the respectable thing to do is take a knee. Not throw a bomb down field to try and score another touchdown before half so that you can secure your already secured National Title.

The game was a slobber-knocker. It wasn’t really fun to watch. The Shamrocks wrecked havoc on Scott County. It made the fact that the game was for the Kentucky State Title seem meaningless. It was nice to look around and see the spirit of the fanbase a county school brought to the game though. That’s what really made the trip to Western Kentucky’s campus worth it.

On a side note, I’m not really sure why the game was held at WKU. Typically the state championship match is held at UofL Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium in Louisville.

I tried to snag a photo of the water tower before we went home. It turned out kind of blurry.
