I'm leaning toward Lexington Catholic being really good. I also think John Hardin's probably not very good right now. They always seem to struggle a bit early on before finding their form later in the season.

A few of Kentucky's blue-bloods flexed their muscles against out-of-state opposition. Trinity 31 Carmel (IN) 3 St. Xavier 35 Cathedral (IN) 28 Male 35 Floyd Central (IN) 0 Mayfield 41 Union City (TN) 0 We were not kind to our neighbors from the Hoosier state last weekend. :D

85_Rebel Does the LexCath/Madison Central score resonate at all with Boyle County fans after the scrimmage result a couple of weeks ago?

According to Ashland's roster, they've only got two kids that tip the scales at 250+ (one of them is injured), compared to eight for Raceland, despite the fact that Ashland has about 430 boys and Raceland has about 160. If you lower the weight to 230+, Ashland's only got 5 kids that meet that criteria (one of them is a TE), compared to 15 for the Rams. There's got to be some big boys walking the halls at Blazer. For whatever reason, they're...

A lot of question marks surrounding some of the teams in the bottom half of this poll.

The one that immediately jumps out is Pikeville hosting LCA in the Pike County Bowl. The Panthers might get their doors blown off in that one. The Hazard, KCD, Williamsburg, and Raceland games could all be toss-ups. I think Holy Cross and Russellville are safe this week.

Hazard faces 5A Harlan County KCD takes on 2A #8 Walton Verona Williamsburg takes on 2A #10 Somerset Raceland visits 4A #8 Ashland Russellville faces 3A Fort Campbell Holy Cross takes on 4A Valley Pikeville welcomes 2A #3 LCA

We'll definitely learn more about these two, especially Doss. Is this the year that all of those talented puzzle pieces fall into place? Interested to see how South Oldham regroups after a slightly disappointing outcome against CAL. They only lost by two scores, but it never really felt like they were a threat to win the game.

Mayfield does look out of place with the number 5 next to their name, but the teams ahead of them all had impressive debuts last week. Hard to justify moving them up, especially after just one game.

You can probably add Belfry to that list. I think Huntington will really challenge the Pirates. I almost added Corbin to the list, but it would probably be an understatement to say that they'll have their hands full this week. I look for Alcoa to roll in that one.

I'm expecting another tight one between these two. The last four meetings have been decided by a TD or less. Russell's won something like 15 of the last 16 in the series. Greenup looked really impressive in the scrimmage that I watched, then they waxed Lewis County by 52 last week. Sammons looks like the real deal at QB. Greene, Halstead, Thomas, and Hunt provide a good group of offensive skill people around him and the OL has some size. ...

Thanks. When he gets back out there, he'll certainly help shore up the line play, which wasn't bad tonight.

Speaking of the OL, was that Jake Dixon on the sideline in shorts?

They've definitely got some offensive weapons in Judd and Dalton Adkins, Webb, Lewis, and Black, with his legs and arm. They're not quite Davidson, Walker, and Cherry from last year, but they're on their way. There's a lot of promise there. I was really impressed with Dalton tonight. He's an all around gamer. The orange and black suits him.

Raceland looked really sharp early on, while taking advantage of some great field position. I thought they were going to run away with it until the Dawgs finally decided to wake up and make a game of it in the 2nd half. It's just one game, but I think the Rams are going to be just fine this year. Lawrence County's QB is a sturdy, well built kid. He looks every bit of the 6'2", 225 that he's listed as. They've got two or three stalky, hard...

MaxPreps has this as a Glasgow win, 21-13.
