NKY Week 5 Recap

The high school season is so packed with games and goes by so quickly.  We have 3 weeks left in the regular season and then Districts begin.  As teams in NKY start to shorten their benches and get ready for some more district play, here is a recap of the games that happened in Week 5.  

Tuesday saw Beechwood surprising St. Henry with a win.  Conner shutout Boone County.  The "Blue" Colonels get a 3-0 win over the Raiders.  Dixie gets a big win over Cooper but one of their top players suffers a broken leg and Cooper missing their top scorer.  Highlands maintain they are the top team in the 34th District with a win over NCC.  

Thursday saw Bishop Brossart getting the best of the Cougars who decided to sit their two top scorers over half the game once they both received yellow cards.  Cov Cath continued to roll through the 9th region shutting out Dixie 5-0.  Then Ryle squeaks by Simon Kenton 2-0.

Saturday is for soccer and the Cougars took care of the Camels.  Cooper runs wild on Newport Central Catholic 4-1.  Dixie beats the visiting Elder Panthers from across the river.  Bishop Brossart and St. Henry go to PK's with Brossart coming out on top.

Here is @kyag end of Week 5 rankings.

In all reality, teams 2-10 can beat each other on any given night which has been proven through 5 weeks of the season.  Players being hurt, players out with cards, have impacted wins and losses this season.
