Meanwhile, Kentucky's high school football playoffs have been postponed for one week due to the statewide spike in cases. Although the post-season schedule released in the last couple of days indicates the Rockets play Fulton County in the opening round on Nov. 20, coach Sean Thompson says the Rockets will likely to play that week because Caverna is expected to pull out of the playoffs. That would mean CCHS will play on Nov. 27 the winner of Russellville vs Fulton County.
