Louisville Central Honors Ty Scroggins Friday Night

Barkley Truax

Friday night’s Kroger KSR Game of the Week was less about football and more about honoring the late Tyrran “Ty” Scroggins.

Scroggins died Feb. 10 at the age of 49 due to complications with COVID-19. To honor his legacy, the athletic complex at Central is now dubbed the Tyrran “Ty” W. Scroggins Stadium.

Coach Scroggins was the head coach at Central from 2007-16, where he amassed a 101-43 overall record over five state-championship campaigns (2007, 2008, 2010, 2011 and 2012) — He became the first African American KHSAA coach to win a state title in 2007.
