5A #6 Highlands at 3A #5 Lexington Catholic

A battle of the titans. Who wins?

Defense will definitely be tested this week. LexCath is putting up career numbers every outing.

I think Lexington Catholic gets it done in a close game.

Beau Allen will be the difference.

Sort of off topic but kid has the “coolest quarterback name”.

Highlands 34-30.

Highlands 34-30.

I think Lex Cath wins a shootout. 38-28

IMO this game will be a big measuring stick as to where Lexington Catholic is currently.

Should be a good measuring stick for both teams. Highlands D has been outstanding this year, holding teams to limited yards from scrimmage and low scores (except SC). This will probably be the best QB they have faced this year however. I predict Grady Cramer getting the best of this QB duel. HHS 34-20

Given the fact that Ryle put up 36 on Lex Cath, I’ll take Highlands by 14+. No way HHS D gives up more than 30 points and it doesn’t look like teams struggle to score on LC. Great special teams and creating turnovers have been in the Birds favor all year.

This game really interests me.

I wouldn't look too much into the 36 points. If memory serves me correctly I believe Lexington Catholic had a running clock and Ryle put those points on the 2nd and 3rd team defense. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. I'll do some research.

Lexington Catholic was up 50-14 sometime in the 3rd quarter against Ryle before the subs came in.
