On Friday, October 24 at 7:00 p.m., Covington Holy Cross (8-0) visits Ludlow (3-5).  Can Holy Cross go 3-0 in the district and remain undefeated for the season?  Does Ludlow create chaos by beating the Indians for a 3-way tie in District 4?  Start the discussion.

The tribe travels to the Lud Friday night for a district battle between Ludlow and Latonia. Who leaves the small river city with the W? 

Some X-factors: 

-Senior night at Ludlow 

-Similar results vs Bishop Brossart (HC Win 6-3, Ludlow Loss 20-21)

-Ludlow looking for positive results after dropping a heartbreaker(with a questionable TD) to Brossart (which realistically should’ve made this game for the district championship)

-HC looking to stay unbeaten and win their first 1A District Title

I’m going Ludlow with the upset!

Congrats to the Tribe!

Holy Cross will likely finish 10-0.  The only team that they have beaten with a winning record is Bracken County at 6-3.  That was a good win. The rest of their opponents have a combined record of 19-56.  They have a great chance to run their record to 12-0, before facing Campbellsville or Kentucky Country Day in round 3.  Are they a threat to make it to the semi-finals?

It’s kind of a crazy stat to hear. They have won a state title before, but yet this is their first district championship ever. Congrats to Holy Cross.
