Kentucky high school football is less than two weeks away, with action kicking off on Friday, Aug. 23. In Class 6A, the division that holds Kentucky’s largest schools, no Northern Kentucky-area school has won the state championship since 6A was created in 2007.
All three Northern Kentucky schools, Campbell County, Ryle and Simon Kenton, have had good seasons in that time, with Simon Kenton making the state championship game in 2008, but none have gotten over the hump. The exciting thing about a new football season: This could always be the year.
