The fourth-seeded Cougars took a 1-0 lead early in the game, but the second-seeded Chiefs scored two unanswered goals to win and advance.
“We knew this was going to be a brawl,” said BHS head coach Steve Henry.
“Kenton Ridge is always very fast and physical. Our back six did a great job of matching their toughness. They are missing several starters and they still pressed us until the end.”
