Football Patriots kick off season in PBK Death Valley Bowl

August 15, 2012

Are you ready for some football?

Well, ready or not, the 2012 high school football season is here, with the kickoff on Lincoln County High School’s season Friday night in the annual PBK Bank Death Valley Bowl.

The homestanding Patriots, led by coach Mike Settles, open their gridiron campaign in game one of the DVB doubleheader Friday, taking on Casey County. Kickoff is set for 6 p.m.

The Death Valley Bowl will also feature Danville and Simon Kenton in head-to-head competition in the second game of the evening, with the kickoff for the nightcap set for around 8.

Friday’s game between Lincoln and Casey will be the first meeting between the schools since the 2004 season when the Patriots handed the Rebels a 20-12 loss.

Lincoln overcame an 0-5 start last season to finish 5-7 and make the Class 5A playoffs. Lincoln defeated Letcher County Central in the first playoff game 28-21 but was knocked out in the second round in a 55-27 loss to Harlan County.

Casey, led by Sam Marple, finished 4-7 last season, bowing out in the first round of the Class 3A playoffs in a 42-20 loss to Central.

At the end of each bowl game, a Death Valley Bowl Most Valuable Player will be selected from each team and presented with a trophy.
