Class 2A

 

Another tough week full of tests for Class 2A's top five teams, and another week where all five left without a loss to their name. Both of the Class' top two ranked squads got pushed to their limits in their toughest games of the season, but a late Field Goal lifted Danville to victory and Christian Academy-Louisville's Defense refused to allow a point while their offense struggled. Those two teams are not out of the woods yet as they both face stern challenges this week. Mayfield continues to turn heads and light up scoreboards, and this week 6A McCracken County will be the next to test their mettle. In other action, it is a battle of Fayette County private schools as Lexington Christian Academy squares up Lexington Catholic.

 

1. Christian Academy-Louisville vs. 3A #3 Elizabethtown

2. Danville at 5A #10 Pulaski County

3. DeSales -- OPEN

4. Mayfield vs. 6A McCracken County

5. Lexington Christian Academy vs. 3A #5 Lexington Catholic

6. Glasgow at 4A Allen County- Scottsville

7. Newport Central Catholic vs. 3A #2 Belfry

8. Owensboro Catholic at South Spencer (IN)

9. Walton-Verona vs. Covington Holy Cross

10. Somerset at 1A #2 Hazard

1) I'm anxious to see how the Somerset/Hazard game turns out.. The Jumpers D is playing well right now. The question in this one, is will they find enough O to beat a tough, high scoring team. Will give the powers in 1a a good barameter of where they stand..

 

2) The LCA/Lex.Cath. game should tell us a lot about both teams. Can LCA's high powered O keep up there usual scoring pace against a team that just shut out last years 6a runner ups? How will there D hold up against a strong dual threat offense? Big challenge for both teams.

 

3) CAL/ETown should be a good one. CALs D has been it's calling card all year, but, they haven't faced as potent an offense as the Panthers possess. ETown needs a game like this to push there team over the hump, imo. Could a win push them to #1 in 3a?

 

Glasgow/ACS should tell us if the Scotties are for real or not.. ACS needs a win vs a quality opponent to get a little respect in 4a and solidify a Top 10 ranking..

 

Mayfield/McCracken Co could be a good one. You can bet the Stangs won't sit 1/2 there starters this week and when all hands are on board, they can be a formidable opponent. They certainly have some athletes/talent to make this one closer than most think, but, the Cardinals may just be that good and pull away in this one..

Mayfield by at least 3 scores. 35-7
