Fan Will Have Her Dream Come True Saturday When She Gets Married on UK Football Field
When Kentucky opens the football season by hosting Southern Mississippi on Aug. 31, it will be the 145th straight home game that Erin Waggoner has attended. She’s always been a Kentucky fan because her father played on Kentucky’s freshman basketball team during the 1960-61 season. Her football craziness took off when she attended UK during the Tim Couch era and when she graduated and got her first teaching job, her first purchase was a pair of season football tickets in 2003 that she has renewed annually.

The ’24, 1A, Preseason Top-Five (5) @PikevilleHSFB, @lexsayrefb, @estes_coach, @Cville_Ath, @barstoolmboro, @racelandramsfb, @AlPopsFootball, @minguabeefjerky, @840WHAS
Can Pikeville make it four in a row and five in six years or will Sayre break through?. Trying to predict where a team will finish, preseason, is often an act of futility. One preseason, there was a team we didn’t think would fare very well owing to a lack of a running game. This team, a lower level team by the way (below 4A), got an offseason transfer from the best RB in one of the higher classifications the year prior, and ended up with a 2,500-yard rusher, faring quite well. We didn’t know about the transfer which is how we so mightily missed. Just because we missed, that year, doesn’t mean we will stop trying. Here are the five teams we believe will vie for the 1A championship as well as a few others who should be carefully watched.
