they we're still solving questions on both sides of the ball, mainly offense. They figured it out after the Ryle game during the regular season. I thought Boone was highly under-rated at the beginning of the year. They were lost in the Travis Elliott/ Zeke Pike talk, but I thought they had the best O-line and defense in nky 6A.
btw, I'm picking Boone by 7

Lafayette just beat Dixie Heights who beat Boone. Is this not the same?
All teams have a bad night and bad situations they have to deal with.
Just like you will reply with Boone getting beat by Dixie. I'm sure there are reasons as to why Boone lost to Dixie on that night.
Lafayette played with a 3rd string QB vs MC that night(normally the starting WR).

With all do respect Hefty....Yes, but Lafayette got whoop from the beginning of the game. Starting QB did not leave the game till half. In fact your 3rd string QB actually drove the offense for you. Regardless 2 great programs here, but the winner of this game will have a freight train ( Scott Co. ) waiting for them.

Boone County at Lafayette
Records: Boone County 8-4 (beat Ryle 14-7 last week); Lafayette 9-3 (beat Campbell County 20-7)
Balanced Boone: When Boone County was a state power in the 1980s and '90s, it won with a relentless running attack (led by star tailbacks like Shaun Alexander) behind a physical front line. This year's Rebels like that smash-mouth style, too, but they're capable of throwing the ball effectively. Kameron Schwartz has passed for 1,433 yards and 13 TDs, which complements the ground game that features Cody Rodriguez (786 yards rushing), Bryson Thompson (582), Drew Stuck (434) and Mikel Reynolds (311).
Go-to Generals: Boone County's defense will focus on Lafayette's Bubba Johnson, who's generated almost 2,000 yards and 20 TDs rushing and receiving. But QBs Jeremy Smith and Garrett Peavler have combined to throw for more than 1,600 yards and 13 TDs, with Tray Chester and Darius Hughes their favorite targets.
Common foes: Boone County beat Madison Central, which beat Lafayette. The Generals beat Dixie Heights (who was without star QB Zeke Pike). Boone County lost to Dixie Heights (with Pike in the lineup).
Next up: The winner goes on the road to play the Eastern-Scott County winner next week.

Ground and Pound for both team, but a slight edge on the passing game for Boone Co.

Class 6A, Region 4 Champonship: Boone County (8-4) at Lexington Lafayette (9-3)
WHEN/WHERE: 7:30 p.m. today at Ishmael Stadium, Lexington.
WHAT TO EXPECT: William Johnson has carried the load for Lafayette in its first two playoff wins, rushing for 480 yards on 62 carries in the two games combined (262 in a 20-7 win over Campbell County last week and 218 in a 28-14 win over Dixie in the first playoff game). Boone County is allowing just 127 yards per game rushing. The Rebels, who are the No. 4 seed from their district, won their first playoff game over No. 1-seed Madison Central, 28-21, on a last-minute touchdown and then played outstanding defense last week in a 14-7 win over No. 2-seed Ryle. Senior Mikel Reynolds rushed for 188 yards on 28 carries in the two games combined after rushing for just 123 yards on 30 carries in the regular season. He has added another dimension to go along with Cody Rodriguez, who had 136 yards on 28 carries against Ryle, and Bryson Thompson.
BOTTOM LINE: If Boone County can limit Johnson and force Lafayette's shaky passing game to have to produce it should pull off its third straight win over a higher-seeded team.

After suffering through back-to-back losing seasons, the 28 seniors on this year's Boone County football team banded together during the offseason to find a way to leave as winners.
They have done that, but they can accomplish something more significant tonight when Boone County (8-4) plays at Lexington Lafayette (9-3) for the Class 6A, Region 4 championship. Kickoff is 7:30 p.m. at Ishmael Stadium.
It's the first regional championship game Boone County has reached since 2008, when it lost to Simon Kenton, and comes just a year after the Rebels went 3-7 and failed to even make the playoffs.
Boone County coach Rick Thompson said it's a credit to those seniors that the team bounced back from last season.
"The thing these seniors have shown was tremendous leadership, and not one or two guys, but a whole group of guys, and there's strength in numbers," said Thompson. "We tweaked some things with our offseason conditioning program, and then talked to them about some changes we were making on the coaching staff, to our offense and to our defense so they knew we were looking into everything we were doing and trying to fix it. The kids had to trust in us and we had to trust the kids and they did. They could have easily tuned us out last winter, but it speaks to the character of seniors and how they handled things."
Perhaps the biggest change came in the team's defensive scheme in going from a four-man front to a 3-3-5 and sometimes 3-5-3 alignment. The Rebels held seven opponents to 14 points or less and five to less than 10 points. They are allowing just 127 yards per game rushing, and that rushing defense will be a key this week against Lafayette tailback William Johnson, who rushed for 480 yards on 62 carries in the Generals first two playoff games.
"At the beginning of spring ball the coaches started showing us the new defense and we all embraced it, because it's all about us coming downhill and being aggressive," said linebacker Mikel Reynolds.
Thompson also moved senior Kameron Schwartz into the lineup at starting quarterback and went to more of a spread attack, but after the Rebels dropped back-to-back games to start the Class 6A district schedule and fall to 4-3, he made one last change by going to the "I" formation and focusing on running.
"We just were not very consistent running the ball and not doing well offensively," said Thompson.
The Rebels rushed for 207 yards in their 28-21 playoff win at Madison Central, then rushed for 219 yards in last week's 14-7 playoff win at Ryle.
"The one thing I told those kids and challenged them in the summer is that at some point they're going to face adversity and people will think when that comes you will fall apart," said Thompson. "I said be prepared for it and pull together. That's what they did after we lost (to fall to 4-3). They've responded to everything we've given them
