Regional supremacy is on the line across the Bluegrass. Out West, Webster County vs. Union County. North Central features Lexington Catholic vs. newcomer Lexington Christian Academy. South Central has two clear front-runners in Mercer County and Wayne County.

Look for North Oldham, dropping back down to 2A, to resume dominating in Region 3.

🏆🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️Class 1A Regions ~

A resurgent Ft Campbell will battle 1A newcomer Trigg County in The Purchase.

Owensboro Catholic and Collegiate are chasing perfection (first five places) in their Regions; both with oh so close scores of 18 points.

I'm really pleased to see Newport Central Catholic fielding a team again this year in NKY.

Lexington Christian Academy's move up to 2A opens the door for a tussle between Owen County and Danville in Central Kentucky.

A new crosstown rivalry has developed between a newish Somerset Christian program and old school hand Somerset in the Southeast.

The "6th man" tiebreaker may come into play in the Mountain Region, as Raceland and Pikeville are projecting to a virtual tie this week.
