I am so looking forward to getting to type out the names of these schools and places over the next half-hour or whatever. I really, really am. I've printed out my KHSAA playoff brackets (you can, too--they're linked here under the bold-face "Class A," "Class 2A," etc. labels), and I've got Mayfield's WYMC fired up on another browser (Roberta Flack's perfect "First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" is playing). So here we go. Hooray for the Internet! Hooray for high-school football! And hooray for Kentucky!
Class A
Horse Cave Caverna (2-8) at Mayfield (9-1 and No. 1 in this week's Associated Press poll for Class A)--Next up on WYMC was Journey's "Don't Stop Believing," which is also great.
Some will win; some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Fulton County (1-7) at Louisville Holy Cross (5-5)
Louisville Kentucky Country Day (5-5) at Russellville (8-2, No. 3)--I did not realize that the current Panthers quarterback, Barrett Croslin, is the grandson of Ken Barrett, Russellville's long-time, multiple-state-championships coach. Hooray, too, for Jim Turner of The Logan Journal!
Fulton City (1-8) at Bardstown Bethlehem (9-1, No. 9)--Oh, man, now WYMC is doing "Wedding Song" by Paul Stookey. I've listened to--what?--200 hours of WYMC since moving back to Kentucky in 2008, and I've never heard them play this thing, which is also perfect. (Early-bird happy 10th anniversary to my bride, who is out of pocket this weekend. SHAWTY 4EVER!)
Dayton (2-8) at Frankfort (8-2, No. 7)--You're killing me, WYMC. At this rate, I'm never going to finish typing in these games.
Eminence (6-4) at Bellevue (6-4)
Ludlow (4-6) at Paris (8-2)--Here's the Class A game I would like to be at tonight, the 1975 Class A state champs at the 1973, 1981 and 1982 Class A state champs. Ludlow '75 beat Coach Orville J the Heath Pirates, so I will, of course, be rooting for the home team tonight. 
Bracken County (2-8) at Fort Mitchell Beechwood (6-4, No. 5)--Zack Klemme in Maysville's Ledger-Independent writes of Polar Bears and inevitability.
Jenkins (1-9) at Williamsburg (7-2, No. 10)
Berea (2-8) at Pineville (6-4)
Harlan (2-8) at Campbellsville (3-7)
Lynn Camp (3-7) at Hazard (9-1, No. 6)
Phelps (1-9) at Raceland (8-2, No. 4)
Not Westwood Fairview (5-5, No. 8) at Allen Central (2-8)--It's on to Round 2 for the Rebels of Eastern.
Nicholas County (2-8) at Pikeville (9-1 No. 2)
Class 2A
Hancock County (2-8) at Caldwell County (10-0, No. 1)--Yeah ... a bunch of offensive linemen getting together on their own, "coming up with crazy stuff to call each other" ... can't imagine anything going haywire there.
Barlow Ballard Memorial (7-3) at Union County (8-2, No. 8)--Here's the Class 2A game I'd like to be at tonight. Good matchup.
Butler County (7-3) at Murray (6-4)
Crittenden County (3-6) at Owensboro Catholic (8-2, No. 5)
Washington County (4-6) at Glasgow (9-1, No. 4)--Scotties rising.

Bardstown (8-2, No. 7) at Green County (5-5)
Covington Holy Cross (1-9) at Gallatin County (8-2)
Carroll County (5-5) at Newport (5-5)
Erlanger Lloyd Memorial (6-4) at Walton-Verona (8-2)--Third-straight playoff clash for these two, notes James Weber at NKy.com. Lloyd won in 2011; W-V, in 2012.
Owen County (2-8) at Newport Central Catholic (6-4, No. 6) at Newport on Saturday--NewCath is the defending state champ.
Leslie County (3-7) at Middlesboro (8-2, No. 9)--Lee Majors Field, baby!
Somerset (5-4) at Betsy Layne (9-1, No. 10)--The Scribe at BluegrassPreps.com foresees a big run for the Briar Jumpers.
Shelby Valley (5-5) at Danville (5-5)
Lexington Christian (1-9) at Prestonsburg (5-5)
Class 3A
Adair County (4-6) at Paducah Tilghman (5-5, No. 9)--Check out this fantastic picture of downtown Paducah that Channel 6 posted this morning. I doubt fog's going to be an issue for tonight's games, incidentally.
Early AM fog has developed near the warmer rivers/lakes... watch those bridges. #WPSDWx pic.twitter.com/6ODST6DsTt

Trigg County (5-5) at Monroe County (7-3)--Pretty good matchup, but it's the Class 3A game that I'd most like to attend tonight mostly because I love the route across beautiful southcentral Kentucky. This is my fan-bus road trip of the week, and I hope it left early enough from Cadiz this afternoon so that everyone could enjoy the autumn scenery. And they should be able to pick up The Eddie Stubbs Show on Nashville's WSM 650 AM on the bus radio the whole way back home.
Edmonson County (4-6) at Fort Campbell (4-6)
Webster County (1-9) at Bowling Green South Warren (9-1, T4)--Class 3A is probably the best-balanced of the six KHSAA brackets, as it's the only one where each of the top four teams in the most recent Associated Press poll for its class could conceivably each win regional championships and advance to the state playoffs' final four ...
Casey County (2-8) at Louisville Central (7-3, T4)--... That is, if you are willing to consider Region 1's South Warren as the state's No. 4 team. It and Louisville Central, the three-time defending state champ, were tied for fourth in this week's 3A poll.
Elizabethtown (6-4, No. 10) at Bell County (6-4, No. 8)
Corbin (8-2, No. 7) at Henry County (6-4)--It has been an odd week at Corbin High.

Spencer County (6-4) at Nelson County (7-3)
Louisville Doss (6-4) at North Oldham (7-3)--WYMC is playing Rolf Harris's "Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport," so I'm starting to make some hay on getting these games typed in.

Clay County (2-8) at Boyle County (10-0, No. 2)
Mercer County (6-4) at Barbourville Knox Central (6-4, No. 10)

Nicholasville West Jessamine (4-6) at Crestwood South Oldham (7-3)
Covington Scott (7-3) at Franklin County (9-1, No. 6)--Pretty good game, potentially. I guess this is the 5A game I'd most like to be at tonight. Scott was ranked off and on during the season.
Montgomery County (6-4) at Hebron Conner (7-3)
Union Randall K. Cooper (3-7) at Anderson County (8-2, No. 5)
There is no reason Hollie Warford shouldn't be packed tonight. Put a good jacket on and come out and support the Bearcats!!! #teamAC

Lincoln County (5-5) at Harlan County (7-3, No. 7)
Class 6A
Boone County (0-10) at McCracken County (8-2, No. 7)--Heady times in western (but not West) Paducah. The Mustang volleyball team won its first game in the state tournament today and play Louisville Assumption on Saturday.
I demand a group hug in the gym right now let's go. #crimsonpride
