The Lexington Christian Academy Eagles (3-2) return to action Friday night after a bye week as they open district play against the W.E.B. DuBois Academy Lions (5-1). Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. at LCA. Both teams enter the game carrying momentum. LCA went into the bye week following a thrilling 28-27 overtime victory over Lexington Catholic, giving the Eagles wins in two of their last three games. After navigating one of the toughest schedules of any small-school team in Kentucky, LCA now turns its focus to district play. W.E.B. DuBois enters at 5-1 and is riding a five-game winning streak. The Lions are coming off a 26-21 victory over Washington County last week and have also posted wins over Kentucky Country Day, Waggener, Marion County, and Western during their current run. Matchups to WatchThe biggest storyline entering Friday night is contrasting paths to this point in the season. LCA has faced a demanding schedule that included North Hardin, Pulaski County, Christian Academy-Louisville, Franklin County, and Lexington Catholic. Those experiences should have the Eagles battle-tested as district play begins. Meanwhile, W.E.B. DuBois has quietly put together one of the better starts in Class 2A, winning five straight games after a narrow one-point loss to Holy Cross in the opener. This game should tell us a lot about the District 4 race. LCA enters as the more battle-tested team, while W.E.B. DuBois arrives with the better record and a five-game winning streak. Who wins, and what is your score prediction?

PrepSpin is set up so the game should also be live streamed.

To my knowledge PrepSpin is not back. WJMM 99.1 out of Lexington will have it and you can live stream the audio through their website.

When the game resumes at 7pm, LCA will have the ball 1st and 10 on their 4. 6:17 left in the 1st qtr.

To my knowledge, to include on social media fans came away thinking the game had ended in a no contest. I was not there so not sure where that came from but it's interesting how many thought that was the case.

Just looked at the scoreboard and it has Frederick Douglas with the win. Look at the score for both schools below. This is interesting....

I am by no means an expert in this but unless something I cannot find has been updated this is how the rule reads. It states and I bolded the line that says there is no such thing as a no contest. 09/04/25 - Reminder about Shortened and Interrupted Football Games After being blessed with fantastic weather for the first two playing weeks, the forecast for this weekend leads to again issuing this reminder around football contests. This is particularly important given the vast amount of turnover in athletic administrators and coaches; a reminder about the Competition Rules is in order for Football. Interrupted games are not new and have a defined procedure for football, which has not changed in several years. Within the NFHS football playing rules, in an emergency (such as inclement weather where advisories are placed against travel or to seek shelter), teams can mutually agree to shorten any remaining period or terminate the game at any point after the game has begun. If such termination is mutually agreed to, the game shall be recorded as the current score, and the game cannot be replaced on the schedule. Probably the main point to keep in mind, "All involved shall remember that this situation is caused by elements such as weather that are uncontrollable by anyone, and keep the discussions in that perspective.” Per the NFHS playing rules, there is no such thing as a "no-contest'. So if the contest begins, the interrupted game procedure is in place. Once a contest begins, the game counts against the allowable number of games. Only if the contest does not begin can the game be replaced. Once the weather gets involved, and the contest is not played as contracted unless otherwise specified in the contract, KHSAA's involvement in the contract is simply to enforce the contract, and all first options for decisions to resolve the conflict should allow for mutual agreement of the school Principals or the official Designated Representatives. If the game begins, the following procedure is in place as has been in place for many, many years, is in place: G) Interrupted Regular Season Games 1) Refer to NFHS Playing Rule 3-1-4, as KHSAA has the authority to determine the procedure for a game ending, and this procedure is adopted in accordance with that rule. 2) If a game is interrupted PRIOR to the completion of the first half, the following options exist- a) Mutually agree to terminate the game with the score as it exists if mutually agreed by both teams; b) Mutually agree to resume the game at the point of interruption on a specific mutually agreed date and time, a decision that shall be finalized at the site prior to the teams' departure from the facility. c) Mutually agree to declare the result of the game as a 0-0 tie if that is the score at the time, and the game cannot be replaced by either team. d) If neither (a), (b), nor (c) is mutually agreed to, the teams shall resume the game on the following calendar day (including weekend days), unless there are published, written Board of Education policies that prohibit such play, in which case it shall be played the following day. If one school fails to abide by (d) and there has not been a mutual agreement to (a), (b) or (c), the game shall be declared a forfeiture by the team failing to abide by the Commissioner for the purpose of records and standings. 3) If a game is interrupted AFTER the completion of the first half and cannot be resumed, the following options exist- a) Mutually agree to terminate the game with the score as it exists if mutually agreed by both teams; b) Mutually agree to resume the game at the point of interruption on a specific mutually agreed date and time, a decision which shall be finalized at the site prior to team departure. c) If (a) and (b) above are not mutually agreed to, the teams shall resume the game on the following calendar day, unless published, written Board of Education policies prohibit such play, in which case it shall be played the following day. d) If neither (a) nor (b) is mutually agreed to, and provision (c) is implemented, if one school fails to abide by (c), the game shall be declared a forfeiture by the team failing to abide by the Commissioner for the purpose of records and standings. 4) With respect to the game officials, if a game is interrupted a) The same crew of officials is expected to return to complete the contest b) Substitute officials shall be paid the local policy board mileage add-on only c) Local associations shall develop policies on the compensation of substitute officials, such as pooling game fees, etc. d) Officials have no say in the postponement decisions, except to moderate discussion. e) Officials and coaches should involve not only coaches, but also school administrators in the decision. f) All involved shall remember that this situation is caused by elements such as weather that are uncontrollable by anyone, and keep the discussions in that perspective. Best of luck as the season continues.

Yes, sir

Not sure why cause every other team in Lexington is playing, but this game got delayed till 7 PM tomorrow. They just called it.

Is that from having Rash back? I know in the past he had a heavy influence on the defense.

The Lexington Christian Academy Eagles (2-2) make the short trip across town Friday night to face the Lexington Catholic Knights (3-1) in one of Lexington's best rivalries. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. at Lexington Catholic, and PrepSpin will be livestreaming the game. Both teams enter the matchup coming off wins and looking to build momentum as district play draws closer. Lexington Catholic enters the game at 3-1 and coming off a 42-14 win over Great Crossing. The Knights also own wins over Ballard and Paul Laurence Dunbar, with their only loss coming against perennial state power Boyle County. Through the first month of the season, Lexington Catholic has established itself as one of the stronger teams in Class 3A. LCA improved to 2-2 last week with an impressive 40-21 victory over Franklin County. That win may have reminded people just how challenging the Eagles' schedule has been through the first month of the season. LCA has already faced unbeaten Pulaski County, unbeaten Christian Academy-Louisville, a larger-classification North Hardin team, and now enters another rivalry matchup against a quality Lexington Catholic squad. Few small-school teams in Kentucky can match that level of early-season competition. Matchups to WatchThe biggest question entering Friday night is which team can dictate the style of play. Lexington Catholic has been at its best when it controls the pace, plays physical football, limits mistakes, and forces opponents to drive the length of the field. The Knights have consistently been one of the more disciplined programs in the state, and that identity appears unchanged this season. For LCA, the key may be whether last week's offensive performance was the start of the Eagles finding their rhythm. The losses to Pulaski County and CAL don't look nearly as damaging when viewed through the lens of where those two teams are today. Both remain undefeated and have established themselves as legitimate contenders in their respective classes. LCA responded the way good teams do by bouncing back with a convincing win over Franklin County. Another interesting storyline is how battle-tested LCA may be at this point in the season. The Eagles have already seen a variety of offensive and defensive styles through four weeks and should be prepared for the physical nature of a rivalry game. Lexington Catholic, however, has been equally impressive, rebounding from its Boyle County loss and continuing to stack wins. As is often the case in rivalry games, field position, turnovers, and special teams could end up deciding the outcome. Both teams appear to be trending in the right direction, and neither side should be lacking motivation for a crosstown matchup. This feels like one of the better rivalry games in recent years. Lexington Catholic enters with the better record, but LCA may have played one of the toughest schedules of any small-school program in the state. Friday night should tell us a lot about where both teams stand heading into the second half of the season. Who wins, and what is your score prediction?

Looks like PrepSpin has it. https://go.prepspin.com/franklin-county-at-lexington-christian-academy-high-school-football-game-of-the-week/

This is cool! Heard both schools have come together to promote this.

These two teams started playing in 2024. Franklin County leads the series 2-0 and both games have been decided by less than a TD. Franklin County won 39-33 in 2024 and 28-27 last year.

I agree. Having watched everyone in the Top 6 this season, I think Somerset has shown the most improvement from last year. A year ago, they were largely one-dimensional offensively (relying heavily on a running QB) and a stout defense. That defense is still very good, but what's impressed me most is how much more balanced the offense has become. If they continue to develop offensively while maintaining that level of defense, they're going to be a tough out for anyone. Their physical style of play also seems built for November football, especially when the weather turns cold and nasty.

As far a I know I have seen some schools adjust practice start times. Going later but I have not seen any other districts flat out cancelling. Anyone else?

The scoreboard at Boyle is amazing (Upper left side of the field in the above picture). It has a high-definition screen above the score board.

The Lexington Christian Academy Eagles (1-1) return home Friday night for the toughest challenge on their schedule as they host the Christian Academy of Louisville Centurions (2-0). Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. at Lexington Christian Academy. LCA opened the season with a convincing 28-7 victory over North Hardin but is coming off a 7-0 shutout loss to Pulaski County. The Eagles now face a CAL team that has looked dominant through every phase of the season's first two weeks. The Centurions opened the year with a 41-0 win over Pikeville and followed that with a 52-0 victory over Owensboro. Through two games, CAL has outscored opponents 93-0 and has reportedly reached running-clock situations before halftime in every contest, including preseason scrimmages. At this point, CAL hasn't simply won games, it has overwhelmed everyone it has played. Matchups to WatchThe biggest question entering Friday night is whether LCA can keep the game competitive for four quarters. The Eagles showed in Week 1 they can handle a quality opponent, but after being shut out by Pulaski County, there are legitimate questions. Those questions become even more significant against a CAL team that has not allowed a single point through its first two games. Another storyline will be the battle at the line of scrimmage. CAL has been the more physical team in every game it has played this season, controlling opponents on both sides of the ball and forcing games into running-clock territory. LCA will need to find a way to match that physicality and avoid falling behind early. The Centurions have shown the ability to stretch defenses vertically with explosive athletes on the outside, while also maintaining a physical and efficient running game. That combination has put opposing defenses in a difficult position all season. Defenses that commit extra resources to stopping the run have been vulnerable to big plays through the air, while those focused on limiting CAL's speed on the perimeter have struggled to hold up against the rushing attack. Through two games, opponents have yet to find an answer, Through two weeks, CAL has looked like a legitimate state championship contender regardless of classification. The Centurions have yet to be seriously challenged and have outscored opponents by 93 points. Meanwhile, LCA is trying to bounce back from a loss against Pulaski County and prove it belongs on the field with one of Kentucky's elite programs. The question entering Friday night isn't whether CAL is one of the state's top teams. The question is whether LCA can do what no opponent has been able to do so far this season: make the Centurions play a competitive four-quarter football game. Who wins, and what is your score prediction?

I know it will be on the radio on WJMM 99.1 out of Lexington.

Anyone know if this will be livestreamed?

Curious to hear everyone's thoughts on this. As @crk1980 mentioned, temperatures are expected to be close to 90 degrees at kickoff. Do conditions like that tend to favor the bigger, more physical team, or the faster and more athletic team? I can see arguments both ways. A bigger team may be able to wear down a smaller opponent over four quarters, but those larger bodies also have to deal with the heat and chase speed for an entire game. On the other hand, a faster team may benefit from the conditions early, but can they hold up physically as the game progresses? How much of a factor do you think the heat will be in this matchup, and which style of team does it favor?

Don’t know much about Indian Hill but always rooting for the KY team!

The Lexington Christian Academy Eagles (1-0) take on the Pulaski County Maroons (1-0) on Saturday, August 29, in the opening game of the Rebel Bowl at Boyle County. Both teams enter the matchup coming off impressive opening-week victories and looking to build momentum before moving deeper into their schedules. The game is scheduled for 5:00 p.m., followed by Bryan Station vs. Boyle County. LCA opened its season with a convincing 28-7 victory over North Hardin in the eCampus.com Bowl. The Eagles controlled the game from the second quarter on, building a 14-0 halftime lead and holding the Trojans scoreless through three quarters before securing the 21-point win. Pulaski County also started the year in impressive fashion, defeating Henderson County 41-16. The Maroons showed strong offensive production at home and enter Week 2 after a game in which they scored more than 40 points and won comfortably. Matchups to WatchOne of the biggest storylines will be LCA's defense against Pulaski County's offense. The Eagles allowed just seven points in their opener and were able to keep North Hardin off the scoreboard until late in the game. Pulaski County presents a different challenge after putting up 41 points in Week 1. Something has to give between an LCA defense that started the season strong and a Pulaski County offense that looked explosive in its opener. Another key matchup will be overall team physicality and line play. Pulaski County has consistently been known as one of the more physical programs in Class 5A, while LCA showed against North Hardin that it can handle a larger-school opponent. The battle at the line of scrimmage may ultimately determine which team controls the tempo and field position. Special teams and momentum swings could also play a major role. Early-season bowl games often come down to which team makes fewer mistakes, and both teams enter this contest riding the confidence of convincing Week 1 victories. Neither side showed many weaknesses in its opener, making this one of the more interesting non-district matchups of the weekend. Both programs accomplished exactly what they wanted in Week 1. LCA handled a larger-classification opponent by 21 points, while Pulaski County rolled to a 25-point victory over Henderson County. Now the competition level rises another notch as two undefeated teams meet in the Rebel Bowl. Who wins, and what is your score prediction?

Anyone figure out how to see stats on a game from last night? I read through the posts and went to both the scoreboard and arbiter team pages and don't see anything. Thanks in advance for your help, if you figured it out.
