2026 Mr. Football Watchlist (9/22)
📰 Headlines 🗞️
- Forget seeing double. Beechwood opponents are so dizzy, they're seeing triple. A Tiger tandem has evolved into a triad as Nathan Pabst joins Tyler Fryman and Emmett Queen in terrorizing defenses. Pabst capped a five touchdown night against CovCath with the game winner with :21 on the clock.
Queen wins this week's 'William Tell Marksmanship Award' 🎯 for completing 20 of 24 throws against the Colonels, while Fryman snagged a career best thirteen receptions for 129 yards and scored a rushing touchdown.-

Lexington Christian Academy 28 Lexington Catholic 27 (OT)
The Lexington Christian Academy Eagles (2-2) make the short trip across town Friday night to face the Lexington Catholic Knights (3-1) in one of Lexington's best rivalries. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. at Lexington Catholic, and PrepSpin will be livestreaming the game.Both teams enter the matchup coming off wins and looking to build momentum as district play draws closer.Lexington Catholic enters the game at 3-1 and coming off a 42-14 win over Great Crossing. The Knights also own wins over Ballard and Paul Laurence Dunbar, with their only loss coming against perennial state power Boyle County. Through the first month of the season, Lexington Catholic has established itself as one of the stronger teams in Class 3A.LCA improved to 2-2 last week with an impressive 40-21 victory over Franklin County. That win may have reminded people just how challenging the Eagles' schedule has been through the first month of the season. LCA has already faced unbeaten Pulaski County, unbeaten Christian Academy-Louisville, a larger-classification North Hardin team, and now enters another rivalry matchup against a quality Lexington Catholic squad. Few small-school teams in Kentucky can match that level of early-season competition.Matchups to WatchThe biggest question entering Friday night is which team can dictate the style of play.Lexington Catholic has been at its best when it controls the pace, plays physical football, limits mistakes, and forces opponents to drive the length of the field. The Knights have consistently been one of the more disciplined programs in the state, and that identity appears unchanged this season.For LCA, the key may be whether last week's offensive performance was the start of the Eagles finding their rhythm. The losses to Pulaski County and CAL don't look nearly as damaging when viewed through the lens of where those two teams are today. Both remain undefeated and have established themselves as legitimate contenders in their respective classes. LCA responded the way good teams do by bouncing back with a convincing win over Franklin County.Another interesting storyline is how battle-tested LCA may be at this point in the season. The Eagles have already seen a variety of offensive and defensive styles through four weeks and should be prepared for the physical nature of a rivalry game. Lexington Catholic, however, has been equally impressive, rebounding from its Boyle County loss and continuing to stack wins.As is often the case in rivalry games, field position, turnovers, and special teams could end up deciding the outcome. Both teams appear to be trending in the right direction, and neither side should be lacking motivation for a crosstown matchup.This feels like one of the better rivalry games in recent years. Lexington Catholic enters with the better record, but LCA may have played one of the toughest schedules of any small-school program in the state. Friday night should tell us a lot about where both teams stand heading into the second half of the season.Who wins, and what is your score prediction?-

Pikeville 21 Belfry 14
The Battle of the toughest of Toughest in Pike County. The Panthers welcome in the big red machine for an exhibition matchup for bragging rights of the county. Belfry won big last season 41-3. Do the Panthers have what it takes to knock off the undefeated 4-0 Belfry Pirates? Does Belfry come to Hambley and give the Panthers another butt whipping?-

Well, I think you have to look at the two games as the regular-season matchup and a potential playoff game differently when discussing their impact on attendance. For the true high school football fan, there's no contest. Give them the playoff game because there is more at stake. However, from the schools’/ (corporation's) perspective, the regular-season game is a major moneymaker for both schools and the Catholic charity foundation. The regular-season game is also promoted much more heavily. Plus, it is guaranteed, while there is always a chance the two teams will not face each other in the playoffs. Both schools promote their class reunions in September and build the game around their tailgating traditions even though the schools seem to do their best to kill that tradition. I have always preferred the games held at L&N Stadium what many of us still call Cardinal Stadium over those played on campus. Nothing against Lynn Family Stadium, but these players grew up watching their childhood idols play this rivalry at Cardinal Stadium and wearing the winner's hat. I just feel like playing there means more. I did not attend either school, but both of my boys attended and played football for Trinity. They seemed to love playing this game at Cardinal Stadium. Still, you have to be honest: at the end of the day, it's all about the money! Also, I'm not trying to be a jerk, but back in the day, this was a true rivalry and competition is what keeps a rivalry alive. Now, it seems like the Rocks dominate it.LexCath has two losses and Glasgow is undefeated.I would think Lexington Cath would be 2 and Glasgow around 7.
