Class 5A

 

Frederick Douglass has done nothing to tarnish their name and relinquish the top spot, but Covington Catholic's shocking win over a Top 100 nationally ranked team definitely earned the respect needed to make them the new favorite in the class. The Colonels' win over LaSalle (OH) sent shock waves and they will want nothing more than to shake up their rivals from Fort Thomas. Another northern Kentucky team that kept their hopes alive was Conner who survived a scare from Cooper. Owensboro has their last real obstacle in District 1 with a scary Graves County team.

 

1. Covington Catholic at #10 Highlands

2. Frederick Douglass vs. Great Crossing

3. Scott County vs. Montgomery County

4. Bowling Green vs. Christian County

5. South Warren at Greenwood

6. South Oldham at Seneca

7. Pulaski County -- OPEN

8. Conner -- OPEN

9. Owensboro at Graves County

10. Highlands vs. #1 Covington Catholic

Putting South Oldham at #5. Dragons defense is playing very well right now. Looking forward to the Central Hardin game in a few weeks! That should tell us how ready they are for the playoffs.

Did Covington Catholic deserve to jump over Douglass? Or, put a different way, did Douglass deserve to be moved to the number two spot?

I think that is more impressive than Douglass' win over Scott County. That gives the Colonels the nod IMO.

I think a lot of folks are sleeping on this Owensboro group. Soft district schedule and injuries have caused people to overlook them. I would be shocked if OHS isn't one of the final 4 teams remaining in 5A.
