After comparing all of the games for week 1, I decided to make a list of games that I think will be good football to watch with big time match ups. If you are wondering which games would be best to watch, here is a list:

 

Warren Central vs Boyle Co

WC is a top 10 in 5A and Boyle Co is looking to rebound back to their traditionally ways.

 

Mayfield vs Fort Campbell

Sounds like a state championship game for Class A, need I say more?

 

Prestonsburg vs Paintsville

Anytime these two schools hook up, you are going to see some good football. Paintsville may be down, but Mountain Football is fun to watch. Plus these two school have a rich past.

Pikeville vs Corbin

Speaking of Mountain Football, this should be a hard hitting game! Both schools have strong traditions and state titles in their programs.

 

Newport Central Catholic vs Simon Kenton

Northern KY should be rocking with this match up. I dont know alot about SK, but NCC will put out some good football, Looking for another state title?

Madison Southern vs Anderson CO.

Anderson had a very successful year this past season and I am sure they are looking to continue that this year. MS should be competative for AC.

 

Letcher Co. Central vs Harlan Co.

Alot of hype is surrounding Harlan with a new team and new coach with state championship experience. Add the success that LCC had last year, this should be a hard hitting game.

Knox Central vs Clay Co

It appears that KC is on the right path with their new high school and facilities. Clay Co has been very successful with their senior QB and he will run their offense in play off style! I give the edge to Clay.

John Hardin vs Woodford Co.

You have two of the top 10 schools in class 5A playing a week 1 game. This sounds like a playoff matchup! John Hardin will be looking to role on with their success from last year, but an eager and very dangerous WC team could play spoilers? I look for this to be a BIG TIME game for Week 1.

 

Breathitt Co vs Johnson Central

Two big time Mountain Schools will play in what should be a good match up for both teams. BC has the tradition and players aiming for another run at a title and JC will be wanting to prove that they are the team to beat. Look for BC to win, but it may be close?

These are my top 10 games that I would recommend anyone to go watch. If you can think of any others, please post them on here and tell us why.

Hazard vs. Green County- Both teams return a ton of talent from one loss squads last season. Green County is a Top 5 ranked 2A squad, Hazard is one of the top ranked 1A teams.

Montgomery County vs. Clark County (Rec bowl)

Last years game came down to a blocked last minute field goal, Montgomery County won 35-34. Both team lost alot of players but anytime these teams meet on the field its goin to be a good, hard fought battle.

Mayfield v Fort Campbell will be a great game. This is also the first time these two have played in quite some time. This was a big rivalry 15-20 years ago and I’m glad to see them back on each other's schedule. However, Mayfield is Class A and Fort Campbell is Class AA so no championship game, but still a great matchup.

I think the Mercer Co. vs Madison Central game at Danville will be a good one.

St.X vs. Ballard could be a dandy.

I have a feeling Ashland and Raceland will be a good game this time around as well as Russell @ Greenup.

Bowling Green vs. Henry Clay. BG is #4 in the BGP 5A poll, HC is #4 in the 6A poll.

 

Christian County vs. Paducah Tilghman could also be a good one.

Manual vs Central

 

Two teams that are in most people's state top ten.

Pulaski County vs Rockcastle should be a very interesting game.
