Both Ballard and Lexington Catholic had similar years on paper last year, struggling at times but finding some success later in the year, the Knights finishing at 7-7, Ballard at 6-7.

The Knights offense was only held under 20 three times last year and so far through two scrimmages, that offense may be the bright spot again even with QB Kern gone and a new head coach at the helm in David Clark. 

Larry Irvin, the dual threat Ballard QB, returns, hoping to achieve more offensive consistency this year as the season gets underway.

I honestly don’t know what to expect in this one other than points. I think we will have plenty of scoring, I just don’t know who comes out on top.

Lexington Catholic 28-21.

Bump.

I'll go with Ballard in a close one.

I think Ballard’s gets the win 34-14.

This game was a finalist for our Pick 5 Contest.  I think this game is really hard to pick. 

I like Ballard to win this one by a couple of scores.
