We listened to the Breathitt game on the radio at work today. They got down 14-7 near the end of the half, but put together a drive with under a minute left. Ended up throwing a pick that was returned to their two yard line. Central then scored with no time left in the half to go up 21-7. That pretty much broke Breathitt's back. Good thing for them is that they have practically everybody coming back next year and should be a strong favorite to be back in the championship game next year.
One thing that suprised me, however, was this quote on WYMT's article about the game:
"The Yellowjackets beat Breathitt County 40-19 in the KHSAA state
finals Friday in front of 3,917 fans..."
3,917 fans? A friend of mine from KY back home rails me constantly on how passionate people are about football over here. That few fans at a state championship game is not solid proof of that argument.
