Class 6A

 

Frederick Douglass was facing a game where respect had to be earned and not given. The Broncos passed with flying colors by taking care of business against Scott County and, in the process, finally validated themselves as a legit title threat in many eyes. Saint Xavier needed to secure a win against Manual to prove they were as good as advertised. The Tigers may not have won in pretty fashion, but they won convincingly enough that Male needs to takes notice. The battle of these two traditional heavyweights will be the focus of Louisville. Simon Kenton and Campbell County will also battle this week to see who the prize delegate from the Northern Kentucky area will be. The Camels are on the edge of the Top 10 and would love to take the Pioneers' spot.

I consider 6A this year the most interesting it has been in a long time. Any team in the top 7 is capable of being the other. Some would definitely be considered upsets, but it could happen. When was the last time there were seven teams in 6A in contention?

I'm not there ever has been seven in consideration in 6A. You'd probably have to go back to the old Class AAAA, maybe 1996 when Nelson County beat Dunbar. The Litkenhous Ratings at the start of the playoffs had Nelson County at 8 and Dunbar at 17. St. X, Fern Creek, Madison Central, Trinity, Fairdale, Male, and Doss were all ahead of Nelson.

 

So its been a long time!

If it's true (and I sure hope it is not) that SK's QB broke his leg in the Boone Co. game, he will be hard to replace. A real shame!

Don’t know if I’ve seen a year like this as far as injuries to big impact players.
