GLASGOW — If the strength of Glasgow’s defense was still a relative unknown, the secret probably got out Friday night.
The undefeated Scotties (13-0) held Christian Academy of Louisville to 153 yards of offense and forced five turnovers in the quarterfinals of the Class 2A playoffs, claiming a 21-0 win and a region title at Royse Stadium.

“What can you say about our defense?” Glasgow coach Rick Wood said. “We gave them two or three turnovers to keep things interesting, but this was a great performance. Our goal was to practice on Thanksgiving, and now we’re going to have that opportunity.”
The Centurions (8-5) entered averaging almost 30 points per game, but were held to less than 14 points for the first time this season. CAL finished the game with minus 21 yards rushing.
“The defense made plays,” senior running back Jalen Sublett said. “A defense is supposed to make stops, and that’s what we did tonight.”
Glasgow is now surrendering just more than six points per game and has made its deepest run in the playoffs since 2001.
The Scotties will travel to Murray next week.
“This means the world to me,” said senior tight end Hunter Bowles, tears in his eyes. “My whole family played on this field. I just feel like it’s our duty to pick up where they left off and win it for them. This town deserves it more than any town in America.”
Glasgow racked up 263 rushing yards in the game, all of them from Sublett and senior quarterback Parker Cash. Sublett finished with 144 yards and two touchdowns. Cash added 119 yards and the first score of the game.
“I really liked our gameplan,” Wood said. “We ran it and threw it and were a lot more balanced tonight. We were really physical, which is something we didn’t think we were last week.”
Both teams punted on their first possessions of the game, but Glasgow took advantage of starting in CAL territory on the ensuing possession. The Scotties moved 43 yards, capped by a 14-yard touchdown run by Cash with 6:28 to play in the first quarter.
That was the only score in the first, but Glasgow struck again on the first play of the second quarter with a 35-yard touchdown run by Sublett down the right sideline.
The Scotties turned the ball over three times in their own territory in the first half, two on muffed punts and one on a Cash interception.
But Glasgow responded after their last two miscues by creating turnovers of its own, intercepting and recovering a fumble by CAL senior quarterback Andrew Risher on back-to-back drives.
“We all just trust each other,” Cash said. “Heck, I messed up, but the team picked me up. We’ve just got to stay together.”
After the fumble by Risher, the Scotties got a 10-yard run by Sublett into the end zone, making it 21-0 Glasgow with 1:18 left before the break.
The Centurions threatened again in the final minute of the first half, but running back Ivan Talley fumbled the ball, which was recovered by Glasgow at the CAL 4-yard line.
Glasgow held CAL to 81 yards of offense in the first half, including five yards rushing.
“Every part of the defense was clicking, just like the coaches coached it this week,” Bowles said.
The Scotties ran only five offensive plays in the third quarter, but their defense never did break.
Cash intercepted Risher 2 yards from the end zone early in the second half, and the Centurions were stuffed on fourth down on their next drive, which stretched into the fourth quarter.
Glasgow milked more than seven minutes off the clock on its next drive, and Risher was intercepted by senior defensive back Lajuan Smith on CAL’s final possession.
Now the Scotties turn to Murray, which advanced Friday by beating Owensboro Catholic in overtime. Glasgow is the last remaining undefeated team in Class 2A.
“We have to step up our game,” Sublett said. “We’re going to have to play even harder than we did tonight.”

GLASGOW — Glasgow senior Hunter Bowles was doubled over in the middle of the field at Hank Royse Stadium Friday night after the Scotties knocked off Christian Academy of Louisville 21-0 in the finals of the Kentucky High School Athletic Association Region 2 Championship.
This was Glasgow’s first region championship since 2001.
Bowles, with tears running down his face, was exhausted but ecstatic about what he and his teammates, his “brothers,” were able to accomplish against a very good Christian Academy team.
“This means everything to me. We went 0-11 (his freshman year) and now we’re 13-0. It is unbelievable,” said Bowles, getting hugs from teammates and coaches. “I would love to play one more game on this field. My family played here and it means the world to me.
“There is just something about this group, something special. There are no words to describe what this team has been able to do. We’re brothers and we love each other and we want to make this season special.”
And the Scotties have made this season special ... so far ... as the victory sends Glasgow to the semi-state game next Friday at Murray, who beat Owensboro Catholic 17-14.
The Scotties hit the Centurions with three solid blows in the first half that, for all intents and purposes, put the game out of reach.
After both teams exchanged possessions, the Scotties took over at the Christian Academy 43-yard line. Parker Cash opened the drive with a 12-yard pickup. And after hitting Jalen Sublett with a pass over the middle, Cash capped the five-play scoring drive with a 15-yard touchdown run. Kevin Baltazar’s extra point was good and Glasgow claimed the early 7-0 advantage.
“We wanted to try and shut (Christian Academy tailback Ivan) Talley down and make them one dimensional,” said Glasgow Coach Rick Wood. “We were able to do that. That was the key. We thought if we could make them one dimensional and keep (Christian Academy quarterback Drew) Risher in the pocket, we’ve got a shot to win.
“Christian Academy converted so many fourth downs, probably three or four just in the final quarter. But we were able to come right back and come right back. We were so resilient. I can’t say enough about what (Glasgow defensive coordinator) coach (Jeff) Garmon and his staff have done. That defensive unit doesn’t get a lot of publicity. But when you can put up goose eggs in a regional final, that’s pretty special.”
On the ensuing possession, the Glasgow defense came up big, which it has on so many different occasions this season, and kept Christian Academy at bay.
The Scotties took over after the Centurions’ punt at their own 37 and drove 63 yards on four plays for a touchdown. After a 20-yard pass to Myles Norris, Sublett dragged Christian Academy defenders 35 yards for the score. Baltazar’s kick split the uprights and with 11:50 to go in the second period, Glasgow led 14-0.
Sublett put the dagger in Christian Academy’s heart later in the period when he capped a five-play, 62-yard scoring drive, with a 14-yard touchdown run. Cash connected with Lajuan Smith during the drive on a 33-yard completion. Baltazar’s kick was good and the Scotties left the field at the break with a 21-0 lead.
Glasgow outgained Christian Academy 326 yards to 151 yards. Sublett led the way for the Scotties with 145 yards on 24 carries. Cash threw for 63 yards, but he also ran for 118 on 14 carries.
And for Christian Academy, the numbers were dismal. Talley, who had rushed for 1,600 yards coming into the game, had a total of 18 yards on 13 carries.
“I told Parker tonight that we’d have to shake him loose, that he hadn’t played well since the Green County game,” Wood said. “I didn’t want to run Sublett early, I wanted to run Parker early. We were able to spread them out and I am really proud of the offensive line. They are the unsung heroes.”
But now, the stakes are raised even higher. Much like a poker game, the Scotties are all in as they prepare for Friday’s contest.
“We’re going to get back to work and get ready,” Wood said. “There’s only four teams left and everything is so much more at stake now. If you play bad for one quarter, it can cost you. The good thing is we still haven’t played our best football.”
