I don't really hear a lot about any western teams in media or anything, but to be honest I wouldn't know a lot about northern teams if not for this site. I think it will be nice for state to be played at WKU but seems weird for two teams from the eastern/northern part of the state to travel all the way out there to play, but then again traveling is part of the fun of the game.

At least in 5A, there won't be two teams from Northern and Eastern Kentucky travelling to BG to play in the championship game, as those areas are both in the East side of the bracket.

It could happen in 1A however, as Beechwood is in the West side of the bracket and of course the Eastern Kentucky schools are in the East side of the bracket.

I'm like you: I'm looking forward to the games being at WKU. They've done an exceptional renovation job and the place won't look empty like it did at PJS. Personally, I've never liked the traffic issues at PJS or the security folks either (never had a problem with them, they just haven't been real helpful). Louisville hasn't really opened its arms to the championship games and if BG handles football halfway as good as it does girls bball, it will be a big improvement in my mind. It will be a longer drive, but who cares as it's only once a year for the opportunity to watch some great football and hopefully cheer your home team to victory.
