7 Louisville Holy Cross 5 Western 3 Scott County 2 Collins 1 Bethlehem TB Louisville Holy Cross

I believe Holy Cross would have home field throughout playoffs until the final 4 if they take care of business in their district . So playing Mayfield at home may be an option , if both teams would make it that far . Hopefully , neither Holy Cross or Mayfield is looking that far ahead .

What is everyone's thoughts on Holy Cross going out to Christian Academy on Friday ? Holy Cross I'd on huge high coming off dominating defensive victory over 2A power Desales . Holy Cross needs to maintain their discipline and not overlook Christian Academy ..... I see Holy Cross winning 28 - 7 .....

Louisville Holy Cross dominated Desales last night defensively with Desales never really threatening to score . Desales also was very strong defensively against Cross but Cross , once again , played mistake free football . Desales QB is average at best and is definitely what holds their team back . Cross never really got outside on Desales and could therefore not show their speed advantage . Give the Colts credit for that . Cross seems more and more to be a serious threat in 1A this year . A very clean game with both teams showing lots of class in what is a very , very heated rivalry game !!!! Cross goes to 2A Christian Academy next week in what looks like a pretty tough game too . Cross plays 'up' in every gane this year except for their 3 district games . That very tough schedule will play huge dividends at the end of the year when playoff time arrives . Congratulations Cougars !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Huge week for Louisville Holy Cross against biggest rival Desales . Cross needs this game in order to re-establish their dominance in the south end again . Desales has taken it to the Cougars recently but this year should mark the beginning of change .... At this point , the rankings seem about right . Any idea when the Litkenhouse rankings come out ????????????

Now calling for rain on Friday night : Will that affect Cross' speed ?????

7 Gallatin 5 Fern Creek 3 Eastern 2 Holy Cross 1 Doss Tie Breaker Gallatin

What is everyone's take on the upcoming Desales/Holy Cross game on friday night @ Holy Cross ? Will the Desales recent domination continue or can Holy cross get back on the winning track with Desales ? Desales lost a lot of valuable seniors last year lead by Ryan Johnson but they always seem to play good football and look to be strong again this year . Holy Cross seems to finally have put things together and are really playing well to this point . I see Holy cross' speed and quickness being too much for Desales finally . Desales doesn't look to have the same speed that they have had in years past but they are always very physical . Holy Cross 21 - Desales 13

Holy Cross should win this one with ease . They need to focus on the present though as Desales is waiting in the wings for next week's big showdown . It will be interesting to see if Holy Cross has matured as much as people say and see if they are focused tonight . I am sticking with 42-12 . A tough showing by Moore would do good to keep Holy Cross 'honest' going into next week .

Desales beat Bullit East's JV team 34-6 SD

Louisville Holy Cross seems to be on somewhat of a roll the first 2 weeks of the season and looks like a team to be reckoned with in 1A this year . What are their chances against another higher class school ? Cross plays their biggest rival the following week in Desales . Could they be looking ahead ? Predictions please ................................ I'll say Cross 42 - Moore 12 .....................

7 Ballard 5 Desales 3 Bullitt Central 2 Holy Cross 1 Christian Academy-Louisville TB Desales

Friday night will be a real test for Cross . In years past when they get down they have a tendacy to pack it in . It will be interesting to see what happens on friday if they get down . Their offense isn't set up to come from behind either , which is a huge problem and concern . Their coach is set in his ways and 'old school' in that he will not pass to save his life . If Cross had Henry's offensive scheme , they would be very , very tough to beat . One can wish though . The defense will have thier hands full and will need the offense to step it up some in order to keep the defense fresh and rested . Once again , depth and no injuries are a huge key . Thanks for all of your props ...........

Don't know so much about South Oldham but Henry County is a solid football team . Last weeks loss is probably no indication of where Henry is as a team .

Hopefully you are talking about Holy Cross !!!!!!!!!

Thanks #85 ..... Things are looking up this year for Cross . They have their hands completely full this week though ..... Bullitt East seems to be bigger and deeper all the way around , but that is why you play the game ...........

No problem SD ......

Holy cross returned the opening kick-off for a touchdown (Aaron Drury) . They then took over after a Bullitt East turnover and drove it down the fileld for another TD going up 13-0 . After that Bullitt East pretty much took control of the game . For Holy Cross , aaron Drury and Jordan Willemborg led the way with Willemborg really running the ball hard and being extremely effective despiter his very small size . Don't know the particulars of the Bullitt east personell .................

Holy Cross is steeping up in class too by playing 4A Bullitt East ..... Tough one ............

This will be a tough one for Holy Cross based on numbers . No depth is a killer when playing a larger school (4A) . My bad on the Bardstown info . Must have read it wrong . I see Holy Cross battling but losing in the end 28 - 14 . Bullitt east is usually very physical and Cross has the talent , but not the depth , to keep up . Let's just hope no-one gets hurt as Cross can afford no injuries at all ...................

Louisville Holy Cross goes across town to visit Bullit East on Friday . What is everyone's opinion on this one ? Cross coming off a big victory and East coming off a tough loss ...............

5 - St. X 3 - Belfry 3 - Highlands 1 - Mason County 1 - Pulaski County 1 - Hazard County 1 - Sheldon Clark 1 - Rockcastle County 1 - Estill County 1 - Henry County Tiebreaker - 54

7- Bardstown 5- Manual 3- Henry County 2- Meade County 1- PRP Tiebreaker _ Bardstown

Holy Cross went down 10-0 and then established themselves gradually after that . Cross was up 21-17 with about 3 munites to go and Henry got the ball on about their own 30 . Their coach decided to try and put some points on the board by passing and every incompletion killed the clock , they went 3 and out and Cross got the ball back with about 1:50 to go and went about 50 yards in a minute and went up 28-17 right before half . Big mistake on Henry's part . Cross absolutely dominated the 2nd half , to the ppint of Henry seeming like they almost quit . Very dominant performance by Cross and hopefully a sign of things to come . Cross deserves all of the credit for dominating a good Henry team .

Holy Cross doesn't throw the ball . Why : No-one knows . They made it to the finals of 7 on 7 in Oldham County over summer getting beat ny a very , very talented Ballard team 28-21 . It will be interesting to see if henry County shuts Holy Cross down running the ball if Holy Cross will open it up a bit . I still think , in the end , that Holy Cross's offensive loine will be the difference ...................
