Simon Kenton runs past Ryle for district title, 38-31

INDEPENDENCE, Ky. – Right before the Ryle football team tied the game at 31 early in the fourth quarter, a fireworks display went off in the distance that was visible to the press box and the home fans at Simon Kenton’s Menefee Stadium.

Once the game was tied, the Simon Kenton football team didn’t want to get the lead back with aerial fireworks of its own. Instead, the Pioneers went back to basics, trusting their massive offensive line and array of talented ballcarriers to deliver a win for themselves and for the home crowd.

Simon Kenton edged Ryle 38-31 Saturday night in a game that was broadcast live on WSTR-TV. The Pioneers, 6-3 overall, won the KHSAA Class 6A, District 6 championship with a 3-0 record. Ryle dropped to 5-4 and finished second in the district at 2-1.
