=================================

We're guaranteed to lose at least one this week, with Holy Cross visiting Sayre in a marquee 1A contest.

Caldwell County is a heavy underdog against Mayfield at War Memorial.

Lloyd Memorial (Bourbon County) and Paducah Tilghman (Logan County) also face quality opponents this week.

Eyeing that LaRue vs Glasgow matchup coming after fall break. Both very likely to be still be undefeated at that point.

Last week was a relative bloodbath.

Caldwell County, Carroll County, Lloyd Memorial, and Lou. Holy Cross all fell. Lloyd was the only one to not lose by three scores or more.

The Remaining Unbeatens 💯%

Lots to look forward to in Week 9....

Once again, we're guaranteed to lose someone, as Glasgow travels to Hodgenville to battle LaRue County.

Bethlehem is on alert this week, tangling with KCD, the reigning 1A champions who are picking up steam.

Despite being 8-0, Danville is a home underdog this week. Defending state champion LCA is coming for the Ads.

Ditto for Dayton, who needs to turn back the tide of its recent history against Newport Central Catholic. The Devils haven't beaten the 'Breds this century, losing eighteen straight.

Middlesboro travels to Williamsburg, a school they've alternated wins and losses with the last four years. Last year was a 22-14 win for 'Boro.

Paintsville hosts Pikeville in a classic EKY rivalry that's been one sided in Pikeville's favor for the last forty years.

We could see a purge on Friday night. Several unbeatens are playing top competition in Week 9.

Wow, I had no idea West Jessamine is undefeated. That program has come a ways.

Their remaining schedule sets up nicely for 10-0.

That's a brief recap of last week's events.

Nearly a third of our undefeated teams fell: Bethlehem, Danville, Dayton, Glasgow, and Paintsville. Most of them were blown out.

Looking ahead to Week 10:

Ashland tangles with its greatest nemesis of the 21st century. Johnson Central is down, but this game has long been a high mental hurdle for the Tomcats. If JC is going to get up for anyone on the schedule, it's Ashland.

LaRue hosts Hart County, quick hitting practitioners of deception. The Raiders beat the Hawks by three scores last year.

Pulaski visits the Reservation to do battle with Southwestern. The Maroons will be heavy favorites, but they were last year, too. The Warriors made them sweat out a ten point win.

Rockcastle hosts Knox Central, a team that's rolling, offensively, averaging nearly 50 ppg during a current five game win streak.

Sayre travels to Eminence, who's allowing just four points per game during its own five game streak, albeit against questionable competition.
