Well guys, we are about 5 weeks out of high school football season.  And I am beyond excited!!!

However, I've run into an issue that I need some help with.  I always go to the KHSAA scoreboard to get the upcoming games as well as the final scores, for all my picks.  For some reason, this site appears to no longer list those games.  I've searched everywhere and I cannot seem to find another site that I can use that lists ALL the high school games each week.

I have made an account on Arbiter, but I cannot find the information I need.  It could be that I don't have the computer sense to utilize this site, but I've tried over and over again to nothing positive.

If anyone has any idea where I can go to find a listing of the high school games each week, as well as the final scores of these games, I would definitely appreciate it if you could point me in that direction.  Otherwise, I don't know how I can do the Pick'Ems this year.  And that would be a tragedy!!!

[Bull got out!]

 Granny, I'd say any day now it should be updated. Just a guess on my end. Alot of schedules are still partial and some are finished on MaxPreps.

[wildcats fan]

I say if not this week it will be next week

If the KHSAA can't keep their scoreboard up and running they are even more useless than we already know and that's really saying something.

Sooooooooonnnnnnnn

It's now mid July and I am close to panicking!! Still nothing on the KHSAA website for 2025 season, and I don't find a useable alternative. I am open, and encourage, suggestions on what alternative sites to use or perhaps a different way to gather information.

For example, if I could get 6 DEPENDABLE folks to gather information and get that information to me in a timely manner, we might could swing the contest. I would love to have every portion of the state be represented.

ANY suggestions are appreciated.

One thing you could do is start a thread every Saturday morning asking members to nominate games for the pick'em contest for the following week.  Use some of those suggestions to supplement your picks.  I did that in the past when I was running the contest because I felt like I was picking the same teams every week.  I also didn't want to over look any of the big games.  Two things I learned:  (1) If you pick too many games west of Lexington, people will complain.  (2) You can't make everyone happy regardless of what you do.  People are going to complain.

[Granny Bear]

That's a great suggestion!! Thank you.

I do the best I can with Pick'Ems, and if anybody wants to complain, then so be it. It won't take any years off my life.

My only complaint is I never win it.

[Granny Bear]

^My advice to you is see what 64SUR and RAMDAD choose, then go opposite!!!

[wildcats fan]

It says on KHSAA that the scoreboards will be up the week of July 21

[Granny Bear]

OH BOY!!!! Thank you so much!!!!

First the bad news. WV, TN & NC have other sites that track scheds. VA kinda does. KY doesn't. I'm still looking for Perry & Phelps. They haven't even put them on Facebook.

Now, the good-ish news. The main site I use is Massey Ratings. It's a HECK of a lot cleaner/easier than Max, but their scheds also come from the states and school sites, so it's still missing a lot, too.

Now, the really good news.. you can also see games by week.

[Granny Bear]

Thank you!! I'm so used to the KHSAA site because I've used it for years. Just keeping my fingers crossed!!

[VHSL-helper]

same here.

[Granny Bear]

KHSAA website for the 2025 football season is UP AND OPEN!!!!

Everybody needs to play this year, and recruit all your friends. I don't care if it takes me 4 hours to process all the submissions, we want competition!!!


YAYYYYYYYYY!!!!

[Granny Bear]

It's only a little under 3 weeks until the first listing of Pick-Ems. I hope to have a hundred submissions. I even want 64SUR and RAMDAD to play!!!

So don't forget! August 15th will be when the first options are posted!!!!

I have a suggestion that you can ignore but I think would be fun.


Bonus game each week, that is 2 out of state opponents. Example. First week 2 Tennessee teams, then 2 Ohio teams, then 2 Indiana teams, and so on.

Teams nobody really knows about per say, as bonus games.

Just a thought.

There’s teams in this state I know nothing about. If we do out of state picks I’ll have to cheat off others to make a pick hahah

isnt that what you do now, lol..........

[Granny Bear]

I'm all about suggestions!!! I am grateful to a couple of posters who asked for more games from western Kentucky!!!

What does everybody think about out of state games? Honest opinions only!!

I think that most people would just look up a power ranking somewhere and go with the higher team. Maybe have one game a week where a Kentucky team is playing an out of state team. I know that would only be in the first three or four weeks of the season

I would rather see a college game added as a bonus than out of state games.  Like RD said, I think most people will just look up a power rating and take the favorite.  Or it will be purely a guess.  We used to do that on our NFL pick 'ems.  We had one college game each week as a bonus game.

[Granny Bear]

Would that be all college games, or games limited to certain regions/areas.....like all SEC games?

Yeah, like I really want to research the Seagull Sh!t Maine vs Fuzznuts Arizona matchup.

[Granny Bear]

I would choose Fuzznuts all day!!!

[Walt Longmire]

You could do that. Or make it the biggest top 25 matchup that week.   Either way it would be teams that everyone had heard of, and not just a shot in the dark.

[Granny Bear]

Okay guys, sound off!! Would you want to add an additional bonus game of college teams?? Or keep it high school?

Let me hear what you think!!

[jetpilot]

I vote HS only with a heavy dose of EKy
Contest is great. If it ain't broke no need to fix it. IMO

[Bull got out!]

Did someone ask for a change? I like pick em the way it is. If anything, just put more 50/50 games in the 10 we pick and make it really challenging. Thats the fun of picking is the hard ones. The easy ones don't give you much of a chance to make ground in a week when you get down. You could do additional games as a 2 point game each week of playoffs till the final week when they all are 2 point games. Just to mix it up. Just thoughts. Im good on my end. I'm going to play and just as long as I'm ahead of Ramdad, and Hoot Gibson, 64SUR, PJDoug and Jet Pilot is all that matters.
