Lexington Christian (5-3) at Washington County (5-3) 2A District 4 Matchup The Eagles of Lexington Christian Academy head to Springfield this Friday night to face off against the Washington County Commanders in a district matchup. Kickoff is set for 7:30 PM at Washington County High School, where the Commanders will look to defend their home turf under the lights. Both teams enter with identical 5-3 records, but LCA holds a commanding 3-0 mark in district play, while Washington County sits at 1-2. Historical Context and Series Breakdown: These two programs have crossed paths in recent years, with LCA dominating the series. The Eagles have won the last three meetings by lopsided margins: a 68-7 playoff rout in 2021, a 56-21 victory in 2022, and last year's 52-7 dismantling at home. Washington County, meanwhile, is building momentum under Coach Eric Sagrecy, aiming for their first winning season since 2022 and a deeper playoff run after early exits in recent years. **Some week 8 stats were not posted when this thread was created** Lexington Christian Academy Eagles: LCA started the season hot with a 41-21 win over North Hardin but hit a rough patch with three straight losses to top-tier opponents: Boyle County (21-28), Christian Academy-Louisville (7-47), and Franklin County (27-28). They've since rebounded impressively, rattling off four consecutive victories, including district wins over WEB DuBois (42-13), Shawnee (53-14), and Danville (49-18). The Eagles average 33.5 points per game offensively while allowing 23.8 on defense, boasting a balanced attack with 1,010 rushing yards (144 YPG) and 1,164 passing yards (166 YPG) through eight games. Key players for LCA include sophomore sensation Nash Whelan at quarterback, who's a dual-threat nightmare: 79-of-126 passing for 1,061 yards, 10 TDs, and just 3 INTs (62.7% completion rate), plus 571 rushing yards and 10 TDs on 79 carries (7.2 YPC). Wideout Tyler King has been his go-to target with 34 receptions for 435 yards and 6 TDs (12.8 YPC), while Sam Pearson adds depth with 10 catches for 122 yards and a score. Defensively, linebacker Thomas Sizemore anchors the unit with 51 tackles (30 solo, 21 assisted, 8.5 TPG), and edge rusher Logan Mays has terrorized backfields with 5 sacks. The Eagles' defense has forced 9 turnovers (5 INTs, 4 fumble recoveries) and recorded 10 sacks overall. Washington County Commanders: The Commanders have exceeded expectations this year, starting 4-0 with wins over Anderson County (21-14), Bethlehem (34-17), Western Hills (49-6), and Thomas Nelson (42-6) before district stumbles against Danville (12-21) and WEB DuBois (13-40). They bounced back with a 35-16 road win over Shawnee last week. Offensively, WC averages 25.8 PPG, leaning heavily on a ground game that's racked up 1,318 rushing yards (188 YPG, 18th in 2A), complemented by 685 passing yards (98 YPG, 23rd in 2A). Their defense has been tops in 2A, allowing just 17.4 PPG and leading Class 2A in both rushing defense (92 YPG allowed) and passing defense (100 YPG allowed), with 6 sacks and 8 turnovers forced (6 INTs, 2 fumble recoveries). Standout performers include quarterback JT Smith, who's efficient through the air: 43-of-79 for 681 yards, 7 TDs, and 5 INTs (54.4% completion). Receiver Evan McIlvoy leads the aerial attack with 15 catches for 219 yards and 3 TDs (14.6 YPC). On the ground, Washington County employs a versatile committee approach to its rushing attack, distributing carries among several key contributors to keep defenses guessing and maintain freshness throughout games. Leading the way is junior Ja'Kiston Thompson (#3) with 41 attempts for 330 net yards and 3 touchdowns. Junior Kymani Reardon (#4) follows closely with 35 carries for 276 yards and 1 score) while senior Reece Draper (#18) adds balance with 41 rushes for 225 yards and 2 TDs. On defense, Ja'Kiston Thompson has been a ballhawk with 3 INTs (100 return yards, 1 TD). Drop your predictions below.

49-18 Final.

3 plays and Danville scores 49-18.

LCA with their JV in 49-12.

Me too! The Ads becoming relevant again only makes 2A better!

Me too!

I think Beechwood has to be the favorite until proven otherwise. They have shown nothing so far that makes me believe they are not the favorite. If anything, I thing they have reinforced why they are #1. 2-5 are interchangable.

LCA is 4-3. The Danville RB is very impressive, specially for a freshman. I see LCA dominating this one but the future is bright for Danville.

This Friday night under the lights at Lexington Christian Academy, the Eagles (3-3) host the Shawnee Golden Eagles (3-3) in a Class 2A District 4 matchup kicking off at 7:30 PM ET. Both teams enter with identical records, but LCA has faced a much tougher slate so far, including narrow losses to powerhouses like Boyle County (28-21) and Franklin County (28-27), plus a statement win over rival Lexington Catholic (28-21). Their most recent outing was a dominant 42-13 victory over W.E.B. DuBois Academy on Oct. 3. Shawnee, meanwhile, has shown flashes with wins over Iroquois (30-6), Western (28-18), and Fort Knox (48-6), but they've struggled against stronger competition, dropping games to Thomas Nelson (14-8), Central (49-0), and district foe Danville (41-0) on Sept. 26. This is Shawnee's first district road test, and they'll need to shore up their defense after allowing 41+ points in two of their losses. Who's got this one?

42-13 Final.

42-7 LCA. End of the 3rd qtr.

35-7 LCA. Halftime.

Correction. Game starts at 7pm.

I'm curious to see how much ground LCA picks up. District 4 has way more wins for each team then last year, where the district hurt them. If they win out, Danville is going to help them, and picking up a week 10 game against 6A PRP is going to help too.

Lexington Christian Academy (2-3) at W.E.B. DuBois Academy (3-3) - Friday, October 3rd, 7:00 PM at Waggener High School Lexington Christian is coming off a bye week after their 28-21 win over Lexington Catholic on September 19th, while DuBois played last week and picked up a convincing 40-13 district victory on the road against Washington County. This Class 2A District 4 matchup kicks off district play for LCA, who sit at 0-0 in the district so far. DuBois is already 1-0 after that Washington County win. Both teams have had up-and-down seasons, with LCA facing a tougher non-district slate including close losses to Boyle County (21-28) and Franklin County (27-28), plus a blowout to CAL (7-47). DuBois has alternated wins and losses, with notable W's over Waggener (44-6), Western (44-6), and Washington County. What are your thoughts? Any score predictions or keys to the game?

If you watch the PrepSoin video you’ll see the LCA player get headbutted. The LCA coach did a great job breaking that up quickly.

LCA has been facing the injury bug, bigger than I have seen in years. I'm not ready to say they can win it all, as other than the North Hardin game, I have not seen a healthy LCA team this year. I will say LCA is getting healthy again, and a healthy LCA team will be dangerous in the playoffs.
