Stargel Stadium was the scene of the heat-shortened game played between the Bethel Tate Tigers and Cincinnati College Prep Academy Lions.

This was the first game of the Don Franklin Scottie Bowl, at Glasgow high school in Glasgow, Kentucky. This was my first time here also the first time see LaRue County play.
