South Oldham needed three extra periods to beat eight-win Bullitt Central on Friday night.

The Dragons (7-2) finally prevailed 49-42 in the third overtime when Ethan Reinert intercepted a Cameron Dukes pass to seal the win in Shepherdsville.

Reinert, a senior, had caught a two-point conversion pass moments earlier that tied the game at 42 at the end of the second overtime period.

North Oldham’s defense had a perfect October.

The Mustangs (7-2) recorded their fourth straight shutout Friday night, beating East Jessamine (3-6-1) 41-0 in Goshen.

North’s goose-egg victory came on the heels of shutouts on Oct. 10 against Waggener (53-0), Oct. 17 against Atherton (49-0) and last week against Collins (43-0). The Mustangs haven’t allowed a point since a 21-13 loss at Spencer County on Sept. 26.

North’s defensive performance on Friday included a Chris Burton interception for the second straight week.

JEFFERSONTOWN – Mike Shatzer is still in the early stages of building Oldham County’s football program to his liking.

But for one wintry night at a nearly-empty stadium, the Colonels got a glimpse of what they hope might be the future, convincingly beating an opponent and having some fun along the way.

Quarterback James Harding threw two touchdown passes to Carson Axtell and ran for another as OC beat Jeffersontown 35-14 on the road Friday night.

It’s tune-up week for the county’s three football programs.

North Oldham, Oldham County and South Oldham will all play their regular season finales Friday before beginning the state playoffs on Nov. 7.

For OC and South, Friday is a chance to fine-tune things and go into the playoffs with some momentum.

North will have that objective Friday too, but can also improve its playoff seeding with a win and a little help from a school in a neighboring county.
