Friday night at on High School Playbook, two southern Indiana schools play for regional championships. One is Paoli… the other is our Morehead State University School of the Week… Floyd Central! It was a history making moment for Floyd Central football when they beat Castle last Friday and earned the program's first sectional championship since 1998. The win gave the team a 9-3 record in just the third year under head coach Brian Glesing. A win would be the school's first-ever regional championship. Most importantly, it would fficially put Highlanders' football back on the map after a number of down years. The secret to their success has been a productive offense, led by quarterback Max Guenther. They've also got an opportunistic defense and a dramatically improved strength program which has added stamina and a power game to the Floyd Central resume. While they're proud of the dramatic improvement, the Highlanders see this as a journey, not a destination. There are much bigger goals on the horizon, regardless of how 2009 ends. This team wants to be the building blocks for a program that makes the southern Indiana school a regular in the conversation for state championships. Floyd Central's regional championship game is Friday night at 7 p.m. at Center Grove, south of Indianapolis.
The Indiana Sectionals Champions are crowned and Week 1 of the Kentucky Playoffs begin!

I was so impressed at the show of spirit by the Manual freshman football team. But maybe I haven't been looking at the Louisville schools close enough. Seems that freshman spirit may be a popular trend here in the 'Ville.
St. X had a cheerblock that ANY school would be proud of. Stacked to the top in a capacity crowd for the "Battle of St. X's."
But while St. X of Louisville was driving towards a game-tying touchdown, I noticed a young group of about 20-30 kids going EXTREMELY crazy! Turns out that St. X's group of niners knows how to get down at a football game. Led by the guys in this interview, they threw themselves right at the camera and were eager for an interview.
You gotta love spirit in ANY shape/form, be it a student, cheerleader, alumni, but it's always good to see a group of youngbloods eager to cut their teeth. Not only are they spirited, but are also proving they can do work on the football field as the freshman team is 2-0 as of this writing.
Keep up the good work boys, and good luck the rest of the season!

The New Albany Bulldogs and other area high schools kick off a new football season Friday night. You can see all the highlights right here on the new high school playbook. Believe it or not, ready or not... Tonight is opening night for the new Kentucky and Indiana prep football seasons. Tonight at 11:15, we'll have the debut of the 2009 edition of High School Playbook on air. Every night at 5 p.m. for the last couple weeks, WLKY's Fred Cowgill has taken you to a different school to preview football programs on both sides of the river. He wrapped things up in Indiana with the New Albany Bulldogs. They are still looking for their first state championship and come off a 6-4 record last year.

The success of Trinity's football program sometimes seems to overshadow the success of the school's other athletic programs. The school held an assembly Wednesday to honor the school's state titles in wrestling, powerlifting, bowling and individual swimming champion, Patrick Kemme. It was the school's first wrestling title since 1989 and the 8th straight title in powerlifting.
