Kroger KSR Hometown Classic: Shawnee at Jackson County

It’s bowl week in the Bluegrass. The inaugural Kroger KSR Hometown Classic will feature Shawnee at Jackson County.

The two teams squared off last season in Louisville. Jackson County came out on top after posting a 30-20 victory. The Eagles will be making the 143-mile trip to McKee on Friday in the first-ever bowl game sponsored by Kroger and Kentucky Sports Radio. There will be hardware to hand out as well. 

Jackson County is located in southeastern Kentucky and made the trip to the Derby City in 2020 to take on Shawnee. The heartwarming matchup featured two communities coming together in solidarity.

Jackson County is 0-1 on the season with two games being canceled due to COVID-19. The Generals lost to Morgan County 46-20 on September 3. Shawnee is winless on the season after dropping games to Fort Knox 22-0 and Seneca 33-6. Its game last Friday was canceled due to COVID-19. KSR will cover the game as part of our Kroger KSR Game of the Week series.
