Gotta pick just one.

 

There are several of interest to me, but I'm trying decide which I think is most interesting.

 

These are just the games I've been thinking about thus far.

 

2A #1 Mayfield vs. 6A McCracken County

2A #4 Beechwood vs. 4A #5 Corbin

2A #9 Lloyd Memorial at 5A Conner

3A #1 Christian Academy of Louisville vs. 6A #5 Ballard

3A #2 DeSales at 4A #3 Lexington Catholic

3A #3 Belfry at Archbishop Alter (OH)

4A #1 Boyle County at 3A #10 Mercer County

5A #4 Highlands at 6A #8 Simon Kenton

I’d say CAL vs Ballard or Highlands vs Simon Kenton. imo

Off the top of my head:

 

3A #2 DeSales at 4A #3 Lexington Catholic

2A West Carter at 3A East Carter.

DeSales vs. Lexington Catholic. Beau Allen will probably carve up DeSales secondary but Lexington Catholic will have trouble with DeSales rushing attack. I bet this is a good one.

Off the top of my head:

 

3A #2 DeSales at 4A #3 Lexington Catholic

 

Ditto.

Off the top of my head:

 

3A #2 DeSales at 4A #3 Lexington Catholic

 

I 2nd this. That has potential to be a barn burner!

For the NKY area. I’m interested in the Campbell at Cooper game. And the Boone at Ryle game.

I think Campbell bounce back and gets the first win of the season. If not they won’t win until the last two weeks.

I also think Boone will complete well but lose. I want to see how Boone will fight in this one.

DeSales vs Lexington Catholic.

Central Hardin vs Elizabethtown.

These team haven't played each other since 2012 in what used to be a great rivalry.The Elizabethtown athletic complex should be packed. The school has already stated that there will be 3 gates open for entrance to this game. If nothing else, the atmosphere should be great. Unfortunately, most fans will have to stand around the track due to lack of sufficient bleachers.

4A #1 Boyle County at 3A #10 Mercer County

 

 

7:30 pm, Friday the 13th

Alvis Johnson Stadium

3-0 vs. 3-0

 

Farmers National Bank Game

 

Be there!

If I was doing Kentucky this week, the games in order that I would be choosing between.

 

1- West Carter At East Carter

2- Paintsville At Pikeville

3- Belfry at Kettering Alter (Technically Ohio, but a Kentucky team is playing)

4- Caldwell County At Crittenden County

Belfry at Archbishop Alter

 

The Pirates are making what will likely be a five hour trip to Kettering, Ohio to play one of the best DIII teams in the Buckeye State. Games like this are one of the many things to love about Philip Haywood and his program. They embrace the challenges of playing powerhouse programs from surrounding states. Not every school around these parts would travel that far away from home to face down an opponent of this caliber. A respectable showing - and most certainly a road win - would serve to reinforce Belfry's status as a serious threat to regain their 3A crown.

DeSales vs. Lexington Catholic. Beau Allen will probably carve up DeSales secondary but Lexington Catholic will have trouble with DeSales rushing attack. I bet this is a good one.

 

Desales has a new kid playing safety now. 6-3 athletic kid. Really nice player. He didn’t play vs St. X. That will help but they are still kind of soft at corner.
