If you're heading out for Friday night football, the Christian County Tigers have a big task. They travel to Bowling Green to play South Warren in the second round of the playoffs.

  • Kickoff: 7 p.m. on Fri., Nov. 13
  • Radio: 6:20 p.m. on 99.3 FM and 1230 AM WHOP
  • Ranking: South Warren is No. 2 in 6-A, per Bluegrasspreps.com
  • Last meeting: South Warren won 42-0 in September

The Spartans earned a first-round bye. The Tigers beat Daviess County 52-7 last Friday, and the Kentucky New Era's prep roundup calls it their highest-scoring output of the season. Trigg County's postseason ended with a 54-6 loss to Owensboro Catholic.

One catch: that roundup's schedule lists the game as South Warren at Christian County, while WHOP says the Tigers travel. We suggest confirming with the school before you drive.
