NOTE: I recently came across an article I wrote in 1981 about the first Friday night high school football game in Northern Kentucky that was played under the lights on Oct. 3, 1931. By Terry BoehmkerNKyTribune sports reporterWhen Northern Kentucky high school athletic directors sit down to calculate gate receipts from Friday night’s games, they should offer a memorial salute to William “Blue” Foster.”On Oct. 3, 1931, Foster organized this area’s first Friday night high school football game between his Newport Wildcats and the Lloyd Juggernauts. He used to always promote things like that,” said Clayton Lepper, who played in the Newport backfield during the 1931 season. It was all pretty much straight-ahead football.”Knapp was surprised that Foster agreed to have the football painted white for the night game. High school football playoffs in Kentucky did not start until 1959.
