It is so HARD to win a state title.  Soooooo hard.  While watching the 5A game this weekend my son and I were talking about Raceland.  He asked me if I would rather make it to the title game and lose 4 times or not make it at all.  I told him I would rather get there and fall short than to not get there.  Corbin lost by 6 in 2022.  They were so close last year against Boyle.  One or two plays away.  People can make fun of that all they want but nobody wanted to play them last year.  That was a hell of a football team.  I know a lot of fans get a kick out of knocking a team that comes up just short a few times, but true football guys know how good those teams are.  I'm a Bullitt East fan.  2022 was their 3rd time playing for a state title.  In the second round game against Manual, the Chargers stopped Manual on a 2 point conversion to win the game.  Their season almost ended in the second round.  It's HARD to win a state title.  Congrats to Raceland and Corbin.  Both had great seasons !!

Excellent post. A lot of times, it's a couple or three plays that determine who advances in a matchup of two really good teams. That Boyle -Corbin game last season was so much fun, primarily because you had the two best teams in the state on the same field. A couple or three plays made the difference in who went on to win a well deserved title and who went home as a regional runner-up.
