On October 2, Boyle County traveled to take on St. Xavier and came away with an impressive 42-13 victory. The matchup was expected to be a tough test for the Rebels, who were coming off a dominant 38-6 win over Ballard.

The game got off to a rough start for Boyle. On the Rebels’ first drive, quarterback Jhet Raleigh looked for Seneca Driver on a screen pass, but the throw sailed a little too high and was intercepted and returned for a touchdown, giving St. Xavier an early 6-0 lead. Driver responded by blocking the extra point to keep the deficit at six.

Boyle quickly bounced back. After the kickoff, Raleigh connected with Driver, who made the catch, turned upfield and took it all the way for a touchdown. A St. Xavier defender dove at Driver but missed, allowing him to break free and find the end zone. The touchdown gave Boyle a 7-6 lead, which remained the score at the end of the first quarter. From there, the Rebels took control.

Early in the second quarter, Boyle lined Driver up in the Wildcat formation. Driver had primarily been used as a runner out of the formation, but this time the Rebels switched things up. Driver dropped back and connected with Maddox Hager for a touchdown, catching the St. Xavier defense off guard. Boyle continued to build its lead and entered halftime ahead 21-6.

The Rebels kept their momentum going in the second half, scoring three more touchdowns while allowing St. Xavier to find the end zone only once. Boyle’s offense continued to move the ball effectively, while the defense prevented St. Xavier from making a comeback.

Raleigh finished the night with 245 passing yards, two touchdowns and one interception. Kain Logan led the rushing attack with 135 yards and two touchdowns while averaging 5.4 yards per carry. Driver also had a huge night, finishing with 108 receiving yards and three touchdowns.

The 42-13 victory gave Boyle another dominant performance against a strong opponent and continued the Rebels’ momentum heading into the next week.

Boyle will return home to take on Russell County on October 9 at 7:30 p.m.

On Friday night, September 25, Ballard traveled down to Boyle County. Boyle County was coming off a bye week with a single loss on their record and wanted to prove themselves.

Ballard came in without a single win on the season, wanting to top the recently fallen Rebels.

Boyle County went the last two weeks without their 5-star tight end, Seneca Driver. They targeted him quickly, but he was overthrown or underthrown. A pass intended for Driver was intercepted. Driver picked up the Defensive back and slammed him into the ground.

Brady Thompson catches a deep ball from Raleigh for a touchdown, playing through a pass interference!

Thompson said, “It was important to the team to set the tone, and I wasn’t expecting to get the ball, but I beat the guy off the start and Jhet made a good read, and from there I just had to do my job, and I scored.”

Kain Logan, who had a breakout game against Highlands, got an interception that landed right in his lap, which he took to the house for a defensive touchdown for the Rebels.

After halftime, the Rebels were up 17 to 0 against Ballard when Raleigh dropped back and found his tight end Driver wide open for a quick touchdown to start the half!

Clay Pendegraft made his impact on the game with 3 tackles for loss and 4 tackles, helping the Rebels' defense to remain strong.

After a slow start Ballard uses their kicker; Bowling Green commits Colten Abbot to get on the scoreboard, but Boyle County strikes back with a long run from Gavin Johnson, putting them up 31 to 3.

Halfway through the 4th quarter, Boyle County puts the nail in the coffin with a quick pass to Nathaniel Schepman, putting Boyle County up 38-3. Ballard, with one final timeout, calls it with two seconds left on the clock to kick a field goal to make the final score 38-6!

Next up on their schedule, Boyle County heads to St. Xavier on Friday, October 2nd at 7:30!

On Friday night, September 11, Boyle County traveled up to Fort Thomas to take on the Highland Bluebirds. 

Boyle County had a tough time getting going, not scoring any points in the first half while the Highlands scored 28. Boyle County did not complete a single pass in the first half, with only 2 attempts and 35 rushing yards.

Then, after a player-led halftime speech Boyle county came out of the locker room with some life on the sideline. The Rebels completed 8 passes over the half, scoring a touchdown in the 3rd quarter by Kain Logan.

Kain Logan picked the team up and found the end zone 2 more times in the 4th. Logan had 89 rushing yards on the night, averaging 4.9 yards a carry. He also had 53 receiving yards, the most out of the Rebels.

But unfortunately, it wasn't enough to catch up to the Bluebirds' excellent first half. Even though the Rebels outscored them 21-13 in the second half, there wasn’t enough to compete with the 28-point first half put up by Highlands.

Junior lineman Grant Holman said, “The team struggled to get going until halftime. We tried to pump up the guys, and it worked. But it worked too late. They had an excellent D-Line and a really good quarterback, and with the injuries and players out, we just didn’t have enough to come out on top.”

The Rebels have a bye week, then play Ballard October 2nd at home.

On September 4, Boyle County Football took on Lexington Catholic at Rebel Stadium and won 35-21. 

The previous year, Lexington Cath beat Boyle 17-7. This year, Boyle was making sure that was not happening again. Boyle started off a little slow, having to punt, however, the punt by Seneca Driver went from the Boyle 15 to the Lex Cath 27. A huge punt! On their first drive, Lex Cath did the same as Boyle, punting. On Boyle’s second drive, Jhet Raleigh threw a 39 yard touchdown to Nathaniel Schepman. Then Boyle’s Gavin Johnson would force a fumble and the fumble would be recovered by Brady Edwards. 

Then, in the second quarter, the major event of the night happened. Seneca Driver, who hadn’t done that much in the game then recently, would get ejected. The first offense was for something he should’ve not said. The second offense was because he did not have his mouthpiece. Seneca will miss the game on the 11th against Highlands. 

After that, Boyle would lead 28-7 at half. Lex Cath would try to make a comeback, but would ultimately lose 35-21. Jhet would throw for 191 and rush for 139. Nathaniel Schepman would have 115 receiving yards and 2 touchdowns. 

Boyle County will play at Highlands on September 11th at 7:30pm.

On Saturday, August 29th, Boyle County Football had its home opener against Bryan Station. Boyle County had a great win, winning 35-0. Boyle County’s defense held Bryan Station scoreless throughout the entire game!

The Rebels started strong, scoring all 35 points in the first half. Seneca Driver scored 4 of 5 touchdowns early, catching 2 passing touchdowns and 2 rushing touchdowns. 

Jhet Raleigh had a good game, finishing with 76 percent completion and 96 passing yards, including 2 touchdown passes!

Kain Logan, the running back, had 32 yards in the game, averaging 6 yards per carry, and had an excellent game with solid blocking.

Lucas Akers scored a defensive touchdown when a screen pass went bad and bounced out of the receiver's hands. Akers scooped the ball and ran into the end zone! Finishing with a 44-yard defensive touchdown!

Seneca also had a good defensive game with an interception tipped by Borders-Coffman.

Brayden Borders-Coffman, Lucas Young, and Gavin Johnson led the team in tackles, all with 4! Borders-Coffman has 3 tackles for a loss as well.

After the first half, Boyle County put their second strings in and kept Bryan Station to a shutout!

Lucas Young, “Our defense has been a constant all year after the last game we had somethings to work on and we hit them hard this week and came out with a good performance with a shut out. It was great to let some of the younger guys get some reps. In case we get hurt, we have good depth.”

Next week the Rebels take on the Lexington Catholic Knights at Rebel Stadium!

Boyle County football played Owensboro Catholic on August 24 in the Rafferty Bowl at WKU, and won 55-24. 

Boyle won the toss and elected to receive. However, Owensboro went for an onside kick and recovered. Owensboro then proceeded to perform a flea flicker for a touchdown. Boyle would respond with a huge run from Jhet Raleigh, but missed the 2 point conversion try. It looked promising in the first quarter for Owensboro, keeping it close with Boyle, but Boyle took over in the second quarter, and by half, Boyle was winning 34-17. 

Something was said during the halftime break, as Boyle came out in the second half and dominated the rest of the game. The defense was stifling in the second half, allowing only one more touchdown. Lucas Akers got two interceptions, one for a pick-six in the fourth quarter. When asked about the pick-six, Lucas stated, “When I got the interception, I was just thinking, take it to the house. I saw no one in front of me.” 

The offense for Boyle was solid in the second half, scoring 3 touchdowns, not as bizarre of a performance as the defense, but enough to pull away. Most of Boyle’s 555 yards came from the ground, 391 rushing yards to be exact. Oddly, a lot of it was not the running backs, but Jhet and Seneca Driver. Overall, Boyle played solid in their win.

The Rebels answered again as Jeht Raleigh connected with Driver for a huge touchdown to make it 34–27. Corbin refused to go away, scoring with little time left, but Boyle came up clutch with another blocked PAT to keep the lead at 34–33.

Boyle tried to run out the clock, but a fumbled snap was recovered by Corbin—until officials ruled the play dead due to an inadvertent whistle, sending the down back. The Rebels then kneeled out the clock to secure a wild, hard-fought win.
