Tonight, the Christian Co. Colonels travel to Central Hardin for the first round of the KHSAA 6A Playoffs.

The Colonels are 2-8 on the season while the Bruins are 5-5 with one of those wins originally being a loss to North Hardin 24-16. However North Hardin had to surrender some wins due to an ineligible player this season.

For Christian Co. they are coming off of a brutal 72-8 loss to Mayfield last week and Central Hardin is also coming off of a loss last week losing to Bryan Station 48-8.
