Allen County-Scottsville and Franklin-Simpson will continue their historic rivalry Friday night when the two meet at Allen County-Scottsville High School.
The Wildcats lead the all-time series 24-7 dating back to 1974 and have won the last two meetings over the Patriots.

In the first meeting of the year between the two sides, Wildcats running back Saul Brady rushed for 84 yards and a touchdown before recording 137 yards and two TDs in the playoff game.
When the two sides met for the first time in 2016, Franklin-Simpson was 7-0 while Allen County-Scottsville was 4-3. Circumstances are a bit different this time around, as the Patriots are 5-1 and the Wildcats are 3-3.
Allen County, who is off to its best start since 2010, is coming off a 46-7 win at Grayson County last Friday. Quarterback Chase Wilson completed 6-of-10 passes for 170 yards and two touchdowns. Wide receivers Jacob Lightfoot and Cayden Ross each had a TD reception each.
Franklin enters Friday’s contest after a 35-19 victory at Glasgow, a game in which running back Tre Bass threw for 205 yards and three TDs while the Wildcats tallied an astounding 471 yards on the ground.
The Patriots are ranked No. 6 in Class 4A in the latest Kentucky Associated Press poll while the Wildcats are 10th.
