the second half scoring

started eleven minutes

in as Alex Hale found

Leland Creamer in the

box, who finished the

pass off with a head-

er in the 51st minute.

Hale added a second

assist moments later

by finding Christian

Lopez off of a direct

kick in the 57th min-

ute.

After Trigg County

allowed an own goal in

the 61st minute, Chris-

tian Lopez finished the

scoring in the 70th min-

ute off of an assist from

sophomore Jensen Nolte

for the ﬁnal score of 5-0.

Coach Seeger emptied

his bench with 15 min-

utes left to play.

Coach Seeger on the

importance of getting

his younger players

game experience, “I

think any chance that

we get to get them in

(the game) to get more

experience is great

for the overall team.

Because that means that

they will get better, and

as they get better they’ll

start vying for more

starting positions, and

that creates more com-

petition and that compe-

tition drives everybody.

So, I think it’s a great

thing, and I think we are

lucky to have the depth

that we do. Even when

we do sub off and we

put some more of our

inexperienced players

we don’t drop off in

quality.”

Christian County will

look to continue their

strong start to the 2024

season on Tuesday,

Aug.27, at the Stadium

of Champions Field 2

as they host the visiting

Falcons of Fort Camp-

bell High School.

FOR KENTUCKY NEW ERA

Injuries have been a

nagging concern for the

Kentucky football pro-

gram throughout the

offseason, and even after

taking precautions in fall

camp, the Wildcats will

enter the 2024 campaign

a bit shorthanded.

UK, which wrapped up

its ﬁnal scrimmage Sat-

urday in Lexington, will

be without running back

Chip Trayanum and

wide receiver Hardley

Gilmore at least through

the start of the season.

Trayanum, an Ohio

State transfer who was

projected to take over

UK’s backﬁeld after Ray

Davis left for the NFL,

recently broke his hand

in practice and, although

there’s no timetable for

the senior’s return, he’ll

miss at least the Cats’

opening-week contest

against Southern Miss.

First-year UK offen-

sive coordinator Bush

Hamdan has previously

indicated that the Cats

plan to spread touches

among their ballcarriers,

but now they’ll have to

rely on younger players

like Jason Patterson and

Jamarion Wilcox to help

ﬁll the void.

“Obviously, with us

losing Chip, it becomes

even more of that,”

Hamdan said Tuesday.

“Again, we’ve made that

comment of however

many times we’re hand-

ing the ball off, making

sure that we have a plan

of who’s receiving those

handoffs. We’re trying

tobe creative, with multi-

ple guys touching it, and

that’s what we’re trying

to get done.”

True freshman wide

receiver Hardley Gilm-

ore also suffered a col-

larbone injury and “will

be out for a decent bit,”

according to head coach

Mark Stoops. Expecta-

tions are for Gilmore,

who earned acclaim as

a standout performer

during spring and fall

camps, likely won’t be

back until midseason

and could be in line for a

redshirt season.

UK coaches are still

conﬁdent in their crop of

pass-catchers, too.

“The biggest thing

is all those guys are

bought into Coach

Hamdan’s system, so

it makes it a lot easi-

er,” said wide receivers

coach Daikiel Shorts. “...

Everybody in that room,

they’re really good kids

and they work their tails

off. That’s the thing I’m

most happy with coming

out of this camp.

“They continue to buy

in and work hard, and

they care about each

other, so it makes it a lot

easier.”

And, as always, the

Cats aren’t making

excuses.

“There’s contingency

plans, obviously, when

guys go down,” Ham-

dan added. “It’s a next-

man-up philosophy with

every team, but we’ve

got to get those next

guys up and ready to

go because we’ve got a

serious schedule ahead

of us.”

UK will kick off its

2024 season on Aug. 31

against Southern Miss at

Kroger Field.
