GAMESOF THE WEEK:

#5 Lexington Catholic at #4 Boyle County. This game will likelydetermine the district champion of 3A District 4. Let’s face it,Boyle County should win this by 2-3 TD’s as Catholic seems to notbe able to get over the hump in beating Boyle County but in sports,you never say never, upsets do happen, a lot.

Tates Creek at George Rogers Clark. In a game that sees a 5 win teambattle a 4 win team. This has the makings of a dandy and probablyshould be one unless something major happens.

Breathitt County at Powell County. This game will likely determinethe champion of 3A District 7. Both teams come into this gameundefeated in district play at 3-0. Breathitt County looking tore-claim it’s title while the Pirates are looking to win theirfirst football district championship in school history. Can thePirates get it done or will the first ever football districtchampionship elude them?

I would say that Boyle should be definitely be favored in the contest this week against LexCath.

But the comment of not able to get over hump is confusing. The only loss in the last 7 or 8 years that the Knights have had against Boyle was the 2013 regular season game.

In the Perry-Smith era that started in 2014 LexCath is 4 - 0.

I am equally confused by this comment.:idunno:

90% of the teams in the State of Kentucky would have 3 loses with the schedule that Lexington Catholic has played this year. No shame in who they have lost to. I believe they are better than people think.

Boyle has struggled against the Knights and IMO it would not be a upset if Lexington Catholic was to come away with the win. I hope and believe this will be the year the Rebels get that monkey off their back but until that happens Lex Cath is the king between these two teams.

If I am not mistaken Henry Clay has won 3 of 4. How does that qualify them as a team on the down fall? Especially after an 0-3 start.
