Just the Facts…

There was a detective one time on a popular television series turned into a movie. The show was “Dragnet” and the character was Joe Friday.

The character would arrive at a crime scene and start interviewing a witness when the witness, excited, would start getting off track and providing “filler” information Detective Friday didn’t find particularly germane. He would then, and this became his famous catch-phrase, say, “Just the facts, Ma’am (or Sir, as the situation would dictate).”

We have given you KPGFootball’s “weekly winners” all year long. We have picked at a nearly 80% rate of accuracy, all season, culminating in our going 42-6, slightly over 91%, last week. If we haven’t convinced you we are the most knowledgeable media members on the topic of Kentucky High School football in the game today, we just don’t know what else we need to show you.

This week, the last week of the regular season, we are going to give you the winner in almost every match-up to be played November 1, 2019. There were a few games just so insignificant we didn’t care to handicap them, so we didn’t.

This week, we will spare you all but just some minimal commentary and give you the winners of the respective games. This week, you’re all a bunch of Joe Fridays, and we are going to give you (for the most part) “Just the Facts…”

These are the week-11, KHSAA, weekly winners for the games to be played November 1, 2019.

Little Miami (OH) over Simon Kenton;

Trinity over Bowling Green;

Spring Valley (WV) over Ashland Blazer;

Hancock County over Breckinridge County;

Eminence over Fort Campbell;

Graves County over Marshall;

Holmes over Bellevue;

Ludlow over Holy Cross (Covington);

Union over Calloway;

Murray over Futon County;

Muhlenberg County over Ballard Memorial (How Mark Brooks, at Ballard Memorial, still has a job is beyond us. He is a terrible coach and his team may be the worst football team in Kentucky. They have gotten worse every year he has been there. How long will this continue?);

Todd County Central (first game where Omarion Riddick is eligible to play at RB. Wait until you see this kid run the football. Three words: Major Separation Speed) over Crittenden County;

Doss over Seneca;

Holy Cross (Lou.) over Walton-Verona;

Washington County over Adair County;

Ohio County over Butler County;

South Warren over Logan County;

Mayfield over Madisonville North-Hopkins;

Caldwell County over Trigg County;

Barren County over Edmonson County;

Clinton County over Jackson County;

Nicholas County over Bath County;

Breathitt County over Pike County Central; We have heard PCC’s RB, Freshman, Matt Anderson, may not play owing to injury. He’s their leading rusher and second leading rushing TD scorer (9 games, 130 carries, 1,240 yards gained, 12 TDs, 137.8 yards per game). Not sure his playing would make a difference this week. Breathitt is way better than they are given credit for being. We have been right about them all season.);

Greenwood over John Hardin;

Middlesboro over Martin County;

North Hardin over Pleasure Ridge Park;
