If you missed Friday night at Steele Stadium, here's the short version: Owensboro Catholic beat Trigg County 54-6 in the first round of the KHSAA Class 2A playoffs. Trigg scored on its opening drive and picked off Dre'Mail Carothers a few plays later. Then Carothers got rolling: six touchdown passes, all in the first half.

Noah Grant caught three of the touchdowns and Drew Miles caught two. Braylon Coots hauled in a 57-yard bomb with five seconds left before halftime. Shaiden Mitchell added a 30-yard touchdown run and a 35-yard interception return for a score. Coach Jason Morris said he told his team "I told you so" after the slow start, and Eyewitness News reports the Aces advance to the second round.

  • Streak: 10 straight wins for the Aces
  • Next: No. 10 Caldwell County (9-2), next week
  • Caldwell's last game: a 45-6 win over Hancock County
  • Trigg County's record: 4-7
