Class 3A

 

It was not pretty for two of the top three teams as Belfry and Christian Academy of Louisville each had losses that left people doubting their credibility against top-ranked teams from other classes. The Pirates from Pond Creek fell victim to the Panthers of Pikeville and many questions remain in the wake. The Centurions had little alliteration, but they gave up a ton of points, 71 to be exact, to Boyle County. DeSales benefits from the losses as well as their lopsided win over Cooper, allowing them to take the top spot. Ashland got back on the winning side with a great victory over Ironton, Ohio. A week heavy on intra-class competition does have one big game. Glasgow has been cruising, but may face their stiffest regular season test against defending 5A champion South Warren. Bardstown and Larue County should be a game to keep on your radar as well.

 

1. DeSales vs. Henry County

2. Belfry vs. Magoffin County

3. Christian Academy of Louisville vs. Mercer County

4. Ashland -- OPEN

5. Bell County at McCreary Central

6. Elizabethtown at Nelson County

7. Paducah Tilghman at Trigg County

8. Glasgow vs. 5A #5 South Warren

9. Russell vs. Fleming County

10. Bardstown vs. Larue County

Certainly glad to see Bardstown sneak into the top 10. I think they look like a top 10 team at the skill positions, but will demonstrate this week why their line players are also worthy.

The top 10 has 12 legitimate contenders (Taylor and Mercer included).

If Mercer can open district play with a win at Christian Academy Louisville, they will solidify a spot in the top ten. Big opportunity for them to make a statement.

I think they get it done!

I don’t think so. CAL comes out angry and runs it up.

If CAL would play to their potential then maybe I would agree.
