Class 1A

Pikeville keeps looking for a challenge. The kings of 1A traveled to Lexington to face 6A Henry Clay last week and celebrated a 59-41 win on the drive home as their junior WR Zac Lockhart broke a state record with 388 yards receiving. This coming week they will venture even further as they face another 6A team, the Campbell County Camels. That will be a different challenge for Pikeville as Campbell County Coach Mike Woolf is known for his defenses. The Camels have only allowed 260 passing yards in three games this year.  

As we survey the rest of 1A and wonder if anyone can threaten Pikeville, the Paintsville Tigers made a statement that Pikeville may have a serious challenge in their class by blasting Hazard 54-0. Kentucky Country Day, Newport Central Catholic and Louisville Holy Cross all posted wins to keep their title hopes rolling. Crittenden County got back on track with a nice 35-14 win over 2A #9 Murray. Raceland also righted their ship with a 48-20 win over 3A Greenup County. Williamsburg and Russellville took on the top two teams in 2A and discovered first hand just how good those two teams are. Bethlehem cruised to a win over Lynn Camp.

The 1A Top Ten will keep taking on upper class teams to fine tune themselves for district play and the playoffs. The games to watch this week are the aforementioned Pikeville at 6A Campbell County and Raceland taking on 3A Ashland.
