4A #5 Rockcastle County at 5A Lincoln County

Rockcastle County secured their first district title in five years when they knocked off Knox Central 14-0 last week, extending their win streak to five games and securing homefield for the first three rounds of the playoffs. They have already won eight games this season, their most since that same 2011 season. It's a resurgent season for the Rockets that should continue when they step up in class to visit Lincoln County in the final game of the regular season. The Patriots have very much had the opposite type of season, gaining only a single win over North Laurel in between two four game losing streaks. They have hung tough with some good teams this season, with close losses to ranked or fringe teams like Madison Southern, East Jessamine, and Garrard County, but those games are long ago. A season ago, Rockcastle County had their way in a 34-0 result. More of the same this year?

34-0 last year. It will be even worse this year.
