Will Stein impressed by Kenny Minchey's postgame leadership

The Kentucky Wildcats came up well short on the road Saturday evening. Entering as a top-ten team in the country, something most fans would've thought was impossible before the season started, the Cats faced a rocking Neyland Stadium in Knoxville, Tennessee. The broadcast made sure everyone knew about the rising decibel levels when the Cats took the field as well. Kentucky was down 10-6 at half and then 13-6 at the end of the third quarter. The Cats really imploded in the final 15 minutes, ending up down 34-6. However, while the score is telling, they had just 28 fewer yards than the Tennessee Volunteers . The big difference was in the turnover margin, with the Cats having two lost fumbles and an interception thrown. Tennessee didn't turn the ball over once. Head coach Will Stein hit on that following the game, calling that one of the deciding factors, but there was another takeaway from some of his comments. The way Stein talks about Minchey, who ended with 224 passing yards and completed 26 of his 34 attempts, is telling. With three games left in the season, Minchey is looking forward and is keeping the energy high. Stein liked what

Kenny Minchey’s numbers don’t tell the whole story in blowout loss to Tennessee

Kentucky Football’s offense repeatedly shot itself in the foot against Tennessee, but quarterback Kenny Minchey did everything he could to give his team a fighting chance. A couple of bad calls and dumb penalties undid that. When a team loses, the quarterback naturally absorbs the bulk of the blame.

South Oldham girls soccer stopped by Central Hardin in KHSAA state final

LEXINGTON — An early goal and a shutdown defense was all Central Hardin High School needed to capture its first girls soccer state championship. Audrey McGee scored in the sixth minute as Central Hardin beat South Oldham 1-0 on Saturday, Nov. 7, in the championship match of the state tournament at Lexington Sporting Club Stadium . Senior goalkeeper Hannah Ferguson and tournament MVP Gabrielle Callahan took care of the rest, anchoring a Central Hardin defense that posted its 14th straight shutout and 24th of the season. The Bruins allowed just six goals all year. “Our whole team plays really hard,” Central Hardin coach Justin Maddock said. “If you look at the end, we’ve got our forwards up there sliding and tackling and making blocks. And when you have a talented back line and goalkeeper, that makes it even harder.” Ranked No. 1 in the state and No. 4 in the nation by United Soccer Coaches , Central Hardin (25-0-3) became Kentucky's first undefeated state champion since Notre Dame went 28-0-1 in 2021. Central Hardin also became just the second public school in seven years to win the state title. “We proved that with the right people and the right coaching,

Kentucky racking up 361 empty yards against Tennessee is the ultimate offensive tease

Kentucky Football held the ball for over 35 minutes and racked up 361 total yards against Tennessee, but that box score dominance was nothing more than a frustrating illusion. You cannot control the clock, consistently move the chains, and still lose by 28 points without a catastrophic inability to finish drives.

NC State falls to Kentucky at Ally Tipoff. Observations from the Top 25 matchup

N.C. State’s near-annual trip to Charlotte for the Ally Tipoff has not been kind. The Wolfpack made its third straight appearance in the early season and recorded its third double-digit loss in the event. Sunday’s matchup against No. 14 Kentucky was the largest margin of defeat, despite Khamil Pierre’s impressive offensive output. The senior scored 34 points — her highest total as a Wolfpack player — in N.C. State’s 93-78 loss to the Wildcats at Spectrum Center. “It’s cool, but I think I understand I can score,” Pierre said. “I don’t think I scored with good efficiency today, and, at the end of the day, we still lost, so it just sucks.” The Wolfpack (2-1) trailed by as many as 16 points in the first quarter after Kentucky hit eight of its first shots. Pierre scored 18 first-quarter points for N.C. State, second most in school history, and went 8 for 10 from the field. It used an 8-0 run in the second quarter to take a 34-32 lead, its only lead, before the Wildcats responded. “I was proud of the fact that our kids competed, kept competing, even though we dug a big hole,” N.C. State head coach Wes
