The Kentucky High School Athletic Association on Tuesday awarded wins to Lafayette following Friday’s games that were suspended after thunderstorms swept through central Kentucky.


Lafayette officially defeats Scott Co., 1-0, in a game that the Cardinals forfeited, after leading 25-20, when the game was halted with more than 11 minutes left in the third quarter.

In a release below, the KHSAA explained their decision on why the Generals were awarded the win.

"Scott County violated its contract with Lafayette when it indicated it would not resume the contest in compliance with the competition rules. Therefore, despite being ahead on the scoreboard at the time of the interruption, the result will be recorded as a 1-0 victory for Lafayette per the forfeit provisions of the NFHS rules. All individual and team game statistics will be counted for both schools."

The game could not resume the following Saturday because Toyota Stadium, home to Scott Co., wasn’t available. The Cards’ JV and freshman teams had a trip planned to Cincinnati Elder Saturday morning.

Though not the case here this could cause substantial hardship for teams traveling significant distances.

I wonder if stats from this game will count. I think both teams have a mr football candidate.

How will this outcome affect rankings? Technicality gives Lafayette the win, but the stoppage of the game showed Scott County ahead. Do they stay the same or flip flop?

On another note, why would Scott County officials simply throw some paint on the grass middle school field and go for the W?
