11th Region: Week 6

Week Six in the 11th Region saw no change at the top as Madison Central kept rolling at 15-1.  It wasn't easy though, as they had a scare against Great Crossing in a game in which they trailed by 14 points.  There was a change in the top 4 however, as Lexington Catholic suffered a surprising loss in the 2A Sectional at the hands of an unheralded Henry County team.  Henry Clay was able to get back in the top 5 as Scott County had a rough week after impressing early in the season.  This week will feature a matchup between the 2nd and 3rd ranked teams in the region when Frederick Douglass takes on Bryan Station.  The small schools will be taking part in the 11th Region All A Tournament at Lexington Christian Academy.  Here's where we stand after the first full week of 2026.
