The Lexington Christian Academy Eagles (5-2, 2-0 District) travel to face the Danville Admirals (7-0, 2-0 District) on Friday night in one of the biggest Class 2A games of the week. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. and the winner will take a major step toward securing the top spot in District 4 and potentially a top seed in Class 2A. Both teams enter the matchup undefeated in district play.

LCA enters the game riding a four-game winning streak. After opening the season against one of the toughest schedules of any small-school team in Kentucky, the Eagles have responded with consecutive wins over Franklin County, Lexington Catholic, W.E.B. DuBois Academy, and Shawnee.

Meanwhile, Danville has been very impressive through the first half of the season. The Admirals are undefeated at 7-0 and have scored 334 points through seven games.

The matchup features two of the top teams in Class 2A. According to the latest KHSAA RPI rankings, Danville is currently ranked #3 in Class 2A, while Lexington Christian Academy sits #4.

With both teams sitting at 2-0 in District 4 play, Friday night's game has the feel of a district championship matchup. While there will still be games remaining afterward, the winner will take a major step toward securing the top spot in the district and improving its playoff position.

Who wins, and what is your score prediction?

To add onto this good write up, this will be the big test that the Admirals season has been building toward. The Ads will feed Jayvian Meaux a lot and LCA will be trying to contain him. W.E.B. Du Bois took away the Ads passing attack last week and made the Ads one dimensional, which was almost enough to pull out the victory. Ads playmaker Trinden Sellers got hurt early in the Du Bois game too so it is unclear whether he will play.

LCA is the prohibitive favorite here and while I'm not big on moral victories the real test in this game is if the Ads make it a better game than the 49-18 beating that they took last year in Lexington.

I like to live blog the Ads games here but I will be traveling so I hope someone will take those duties on, whether an LCA partisan or otherwise!

This.

LCA also moves to 3A next year, right? If I'm correct, this could be the last Danville-LCA game in what has been a fun rivalry in 2A. Not so much in recent years when the Danville admin destroyed the program but there were lots of fun games between these teams, especially in the Clay Clevenger years.

You are correct. LCA will be moving up. You are right it used to be a great rivalry. I hope Danville continues to rebuild and I think they are on the right track.
