The Fern Creek Tigers (5-1) started their year with a loss to North Oldham — a deflating loss for a squad that lost in the first round of the Class 6A tournament last season. Fern Creek has not defeated Bullitt East since 2020, with the Chargers dominating the previous two matchups by a combined score of 88-30.
However, Joshua Abell’s Tigers are rolling this year, showing a season-opening loss isn’t doesn’t define who you are.
Fern Creek is riding a five-game winning streak, including wins over Oldham County and Louisville Eastern. However, it is time to test how much Fern Creek has grown, as last year’s 6A champions are now on their way.
