Kroger KSR Game of the Week: Bishop Brossart at Paris

Paris High School Football plays a significant part in Kentucky high school football. The Greyhounds won state championships in 1973, 81, and 82. The list of alumni lists like a Who’s Who in the Commonwealth: Basil Hayden, Blanton Collier, and Bill Arnsparger.

The Kroger KSR Game of the Week has traveled to similar communities across the Bluegrass, like Mayfield and Corbin. We are excited to announce that we will be in Paris on Friday night when the Greyhounds host Bishop Brossart.
