FINAL Mason Co - 8 Ashland - 48 Matthew Sparks The Daily Independent

Can’t help but feel like that Drake Maye INT is going to cost Pats the game. Why not run clock in that situation and then make it an 8-point game? #Patriots #NFL #NFLonCBS

Great defensive stop followed by Henderson breaking loose for a touchdown completely changed the complexion of the game. So encouraging to see this team respond in big pressure situations. Glad my feeling was stone cold wrong! #Patriots #NFL #NFLonCBS

ICE ICE BABY 🧊

Tonight was a very bad night.

I’ve now heard Benson Boone on two different games today on two different networks. On what planet does that “beautiful things that I’ve done” song fit with football? #NFL #SNF #SNFonNBC

The lights are bright at Ivan McGlone Field where we’re 30 minutes from kickoff for tonight’s playoff matchup between Russell and Bourbon County. Updates and stuff when they happen. Matthew Sparks The Daily Independent

END Q1 Bourbon Co. - 0 Russell - 0 Neither defense willing to give an inch. Red Devils will have it 1st & 10 from the Bourbon 21 yard line when play resumes to start the second quarter. Matthew Sparks The Daily Independent

Q2; 8:35 Kaden Benge punches it in from 2 yards out for the first score of the game. Gavin Skaggs nails the PAT. Bourbon Co. - 0 Russell - 7 Matthew Sparks The Daily Independent

HALFTIME Bourbon Co. - 0 Russell - 7 Red Devils defense is living by the adage of “bend don’t break.” They come up with a big stop at the end of the second quarter to go into the locker room with the lead. Matthew Sparks The Daily Independent

END Q3 Bourbon Co. - 0 Russell - 7 This has been a grind for both teams tonight. Bourbon County has it 3rd & 1 on Russell’s 40 to start the fourth frame. Matthew Sparks The Daily Independent

Q4; 7:04 Lane Osborne runs it in from 4 yards out as Russell responds with a TD. Skaggs hits the PAT and the Devils are back up by 7. Bourbon Co. - 7 Russell - 14 Matthew Sparks The Daily Independent

FINAL Bourbon Co. - 7 Russell - 14 Devils get a big fourth down stop and then run the clock out for the win. Matthew Sparks The Daily Independent

I’ll never understand how the Patriots lost to the Raiders. I’m about to lose my fantasy game because Jeanty has only been handed the ball THREE TIMES in this game. I only need 0.7 points and I’m in serious doubt I’ll get it. Ridiculous offensive scheme. #MNF #MondayNightFootball

Lesnar will be the fifth man, won’t he? #WWE #RAW #WWERAW
