That was a GREAT game! MLC played pretty bad for the first 3 quarters, but the 4th quarter was very exciting. MLC scored with about 10 minutes left to make it 24-14. Western then ran in another touchdown to make it 31-14 with 7 minutes left. MLC then marched down the field and scored with about 5 minutes left to make it 31-20. Andrew Page recovered an onside kick (MLC got 3/4 tonight) and MLC went down the field and scored again, making it 31-26. The Titan defense stepped up and stopped Western on 4th and 15. Western punted the ball all the way down to the 8 yard line with 3 minutes left. MLC made many big plays with no timeouts to get the ball down to the Western 29 with about 30 seconds left, and then fumbled the ball on 3rd and 10. The Titans made a great effort but fell just short. Congrats to MLC on a great season and good luck to Western next week!

I was at this game, Western was in total control threw the 1st 3 quarters, I have to say Westerns off line was the difference in this game ,bigger,stronger,and very very focused, MLC is a very good team ,but if not for the 3 onsides kick recoveries, Western would have won this one easy, Congrats to MLC on a darn good season.

Congrats to Western. I don't know if the correct wording is dominated the entire game, look at the total yards, the Turnovers inside MLC own 20 yard line is what killed MLC.... During this time of the year, you cannot turn the ball over inside the red zone and expect to win football games in the playoffs. Congrats to MLC for a great first season

Western (10-3) 14 7 3 7 31
Martha Layne Collins (11-2) 0 7 0 19 26
Western â Kenneth Simmons 85 kickoff return (Miguel Fernandez kick); Western â Kenyon Young 21 run (Fernandez kick); Western â Jacorey Ritchie 4 run (Fernandez kick); Collins â Tavis Elzy 17 pass from Branden Cresap (Austin Nakatani kick); Western â Fernandez 32 FG; Collins â Elzy 10 pass from Cresap (Nakatani kick); Western â Ritchie 34 run (Fernandez kick); Collins â Darian Dugle 3 run (kick failed); Collins â Andrew Page 32 pass from Cresap (pass failed).
SHELBYVILLE, Ky. â LaVell Boyd called his Western High football squad âa team of destiny.â
Now the Warriors are destined for their first trip to the state semifinals.
Kenneth Simmons returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown, Jacorey Ritchie rushed for 170 yards and two TDs and Western held off a late rally to beat Collins 31-26 on Friday in the Class 4-A, Region Two championship game.
Western (10-3) lost regional finals in 2005 and '09 but now will get to host Allen County-Scottsville next week with a trip to the state final on the line.
âOne team, one dream, do it for the ring,â Boyd said. âThey believe it. Now we just have to win one more to get to the state championship game.â
Boyd and several assistant coaches and players shed tears after the victory. Western lost to visiting Marion County 31-24 in last year's regional final, and many players considered Friday's win redemption.
Collins senior quarterback Branden Cresap completed 37of66 passes for 440 yards and three touchdowns and nearly brought his team all the way back from a 31-14 deficit midway through the fourth quarter.
Wide receiver Tavis Elzy battled a quadriceps injury to haul in 14 passes for 213 yards and two TDs, but it wasn't enough for Collins to overcome an early 21-0 deficit.
âI thought it was midway through the second quarter before we started looking like ourselves,â said Collins coach Jerry Lucas, whose first-year program finished 11-2.
Simmons took the opening kickoff 85 yards for a TD, setting the tone for the Warriors.
âAll week long we talked about, âWe're going to somebody else's house. We have to hit them in the mouth first,'â Boyd said. âWe couldn't give them an opportunity to get momentum.â
Collins immediately drove the length of the field, but Darian Dugle fumbled into the end zone and Western's Leon Melvin recovered.
The Warriors scored on their next two possessions, getting TD runs from Kenyon Young (21 yards) and Ritchie (4 yards) to take a 21-0 lead at the 10:17 mark of the second quarter.
Ritchie's second TD run, a 34-yarder, made it 31-14 with 7:28 left in the fourth quarter and seemed to put the game away.
But Dugle's 3-yard TD run pulled Collins within 31-20 with 5:17 left, and the Titans followed with their third onside-kick recovery of the night. Cresap's third TD pass â a 26-yarder to Andrew Page â made it 31-26 with 3:46 left.
Elzy and Page (nine catches, 105 yards) were Cresap's main targets with No.2 receiver Ben Axline out with a knee injury suffered last week.
âIt's hard to go 12 games and then lose a kid like Axline and then have to make the adjustment,â Lucas said. âIt's one thing if it happens Week 4 ⦠but all of a sudden you're scrambling.â
Western recovered the next onside kick but was forced to punt.
Collins took over at its 8-yard line with 2:53 left and drove to the Western 29 inside the final minute. But on third down Cresap was hit and fumbled, and Western's Jamal Harbin recovered to seal the victory.
Now Western will represent the Louisville area in next week's 4-A semifinals.
âI was scared, I was nervous,â Boyd said of Collins' late rally. âI was saying, âThis can't be. The kids have played their hearts out.' But I knew God wouldn't forsake us. I knew we were going to win.â

They ran back the opening kickoff for a touchdown and MLC turned the ball over 4 times. MLC also had a lot of penalties for over 100 yards. Really, the Titans beat themselves in this game. MLC out gained them 528 yards to 240 yards, but Western limited MLC to only 88 yards rushing.
