  • Henry Clay 47, Lafayette 10

    Henry Clay quarterback Jerry Williams, best known for his fleet feet, showed a strong, accurate arm in leading the Blue Devils to a 47-10 victory over long-time city rival Lafayette in the first round of the Class 6A football playoffs Friday night.

A few decades ago a high school football coach in Western Kentucky feigned a heart attack just before halftime of a big game, and an ambulance whisked him off to a hospital. Just as the coach hoped, his players rallied in the second half to win for their fallen leader. (I can't remember whether the coach was fired for his reprehensible ploy.)

Second-ranked Mercy beat fourth-ranked Sacred Heart 18-25, 25-23, 25-18 for the state volleyball championship on Saturday night at Northern Kentucky University's Regents Hall.
