Class 3A

 

Western Hills had Boyle County on the ropes, but the Rebels responded in the clutch to extend their lead and then ice the game with a 100-yard pick six. All that stands in the way of Boyle County's perfect regular season is a date with a Mercer County team that they will enter as a heavy favorite. The story of the class will be a pretty arduous slate of games that may cause some last minute ranking shake-ups. Half of the top ten will square up ranked foes from other classes. Caldwell County and Belfry each draw teams ranked #1 in their respective divisions. Belfry could make a statement that the team who has won four of the last five 3A titles is a force to contend with if they can knock off 4A Johnson Central. Corbin makes the short trip to play Knox Central, while Elizabethtown stays at home as they look for perhaps their biggest signature win taking on 2A Glasgow.

 

1. Boyle County vs. 4A Mercer County

2. Corbin at 4A #5 Knox Central

3. Belfry at 4A #1 Johnson Central

4. Central at 6A Pleasure Ridge Park

5. Lexington Catholic vs. 5A #10 Southwestern

6. Caldwell County at 2A #1 Mayfield

7. Paducah Tilghman at 5A Christian County

8. Bell County at 5A Harlan County

9. Elizabethtown vs. 2A #6 Glasgow

10. Western Hills vs. 4A Harrison County

I don't expect any long term effects from the results but this is an absolutely stacked week of games for teams in Class 3A.
