The Class 4A State Championship featured two of Kentucky’s most dominant powerhouses — the No. 4 Boyle County Rebels and the No. 5 Franklin County Flyers. Boyle County entered Friday night chasing their fifth state title in six years — a truly incredible run for Justin Haddix and his program. That run began in 2020, when the Rebels took down none other than Franklin County to win a 31-28 OT thriller.
Franklin County, on the other hand, entered Friday night not only with a perfect 14-0 record this season, but as winners of 40 of their last 42 games.
