  • North stays hot; big game next total in rout of Trojans from last year in two games

     JEFFERSONTOWN -- If it was a neighborhood pickup game of football and teams were selected based on what guys looked like without their shirts on, North Bullitt head coach Adam Billings wasn’t sure how quickly his players would be selected.

    But games on Friday nights are not played without shirts and pads.

    No matter what the comparison of physiques might reveal, North Bullitt was definitely the better football team on Friday night.

    The Eagles went to 3-0 on the season with an impressive 42-6 victory over Jeffersontown.

  • Cougars set to visit Gossett and Southern on Friday

     SHEPHERDSVILLE – It will be a battle between rivals and friends on Friday when Bullitt Central makes the short trip to Okolona to take on fellow Class 5-A foe Southern.

Instead, Leasor stayed eight years and three years ago Gossett moved from coaching to being the school’s athletic director.

     MOUNT WASHINGTON –The rocky start to the 2015 football season for the Bullitt East Chargers got a lot bumpier on Friday as the red and gold fell behind 28-0 in the first quarter before losing to visiting Martha Layne Collins on Friday 55-14.

It was the first time that the Chargers have had a running clock against them since losing to Collins 52-7 midway through the 2010 season.
