Severe weather conditions have forced the cancellation of tonight’s scheduled football game for Garrard County and Middlesboro. Organizers announced minutes ago that the weather has made it impossible for the matchup to go forward safely.

Tonight, Garrard County will once again face Middlesboro in a football series that has been marked by competitive matchups, historic ties, and coaching connections that stretch across decades. The Yellowjackets lead the series 4-1, but the Golden Lions carry momentum into the latest meeting after claiming their first win in the series last season.

The Lawrence County Bulldogs dominated the second half to defeat the Garrard County Golden Lions 57-30 on Friday night in the Golden Lion Bowl at Garrard County High School. The game marked the first-ever meeting between the two programs despite both competing in Class 3A for many years.
