Murray vs. McCracken County Predictions/Updates
This will be the first meeting between the Mustangs and the Tigers. McCracken (3-2) will wrap up their 2A district 1 schedule on Friday going 2-1 so far, respectively. They have beaten the teams they are expected to win and also lost to the teams they expected to lose. QB O'Neal has been driving this years success throwing 264 yards/game in wins while managing 105 yards/game in their losses. Murray (4-1) has done the same thing. They've beaten the teams they are supposed to beat and lost to a very solid Union team on a very unusual Saturday night. The Tigers have given up 113 yards/game passing through 4 games. Their game vs Fulton Co was a forfeit and not computed into the average. This is the first true test for the Murray secondary that boast 3 division 1 talents. McCracken will have the advantage in the trenches with size but they have not dominated as expected. Mustang defense is giving up 26 pts/game, the Tigers 17. It should be one of the better games in WKY this week.

Madisonville-North Hopkins vs. Graves County Predictions/Updates
I'll take the Maroons in this one. They have a couple of kids that can just flat out play. Graves is a solid squad. I've watched them twice this season. I just feel like they have too many mental mistakes and get seem to get over that hump. MNH 28 Graves 17

McCracken County at Mayfield Predictions/Updates
?? ? Back to this game, I'll take Mayfield with a running clock somewhere in the third quarter. I do have a question: how does the 1 loss and only having 9 games hurt Mayfield in RPI. For example: OCath takes an L tonight and so does LCA. Who gets home field?? IMO, Mayfield "NEEDS" home field to get to Kroger.

Mayfield at Paducah Tilghman Predictions/Updates
It's a shame I can't be at this game!! Hope the game is better then the talk. Most times, it isn't ?♂️ PT comes in with more recognition as far as recruiting but I will tell you, both teams are very talented. My breakdown: Running game- Mayfield Passing game- Draw (Although, Cartwright has proven he is better than James) O-Line- Paducah D-Line- Paducah LBs- Mayfield DBs- Draw. (This is the first real test for either group) Teams, on paper, look to be pretty even. If that is true, it comes down to 1 thing... COACHING. By leaps and bounds, there is no better team in WKY that adjust better in game than the Cardinals. I'll take the Cardinals until the Tornadoes can prove otherwise. Mayfield 28 Paducah 21

Greenwood at Owensboro Catholic Predictions/Updates
This is the first "test" for both teams. Greenwood seems to be a team heading in the right direction. I don't know much about them other than they are a physical team. I don't think many people thought they would handle W East so easy. OCath is set to prove they belong in the top tier of 2A. The Aces seem to be dubbed as a finance team with their typical air raid but ran for over 100 yards in each of their first two games. Atwell is coming along very well throwing over 300+ yards per game. In the past, they have had issues matching physical teams. I think OCath wins 28-14 or 35-21 and stamps itself as a contender in 2A.

BluegrassPreps.com Class 2A Football Rankings 8/21
Top 3 can go in any order. Mayfield made mistakes that will be corrected and still best a solid Graves team 42-7. Impressive win by LCA over the 5A favorite. Beechwood also started with a solid win. That will sort itself out in the playoffs. OCath is a clear 4. Don’t understand SV @ 5 considering their loss. Breathitt Co stays in top 10 after being embarrassed by a Belfry team that is “down” due to transfers.

Murray 41 Trigg County 21
Game that began late, 9pm, and ended on Sunday, 12:15am. Both teams took advantage of early season mistakes and/or nerves. The Tigers limited Trigg County's standout receiver, Jhaden Vaughn (#4), to two catches for 30 yards. Murray's offense looked completely different from the last couple of season under Coach Bowling. New single caller, Coach Cunningham, looks to take advantage and stretch the field both sideline to sideline and downfield with the likes of Jeremiah Jones (Jr. 6'4") and Zavion Carmon (Sr. 6'6") as they scored on 7 out of 10 possessions.

Paducah Tilghman at McCracken County Predictions/Updates
If the O-line can keep steady... NO. I really think PT will run away with this one.

BluegrassPreps.com 2023 Class 2A Pre-Season Rankings
Agree 100%. Just seems like they lost several key leaders and the change of tenure is my reasoning for #3. Also, I do believe they will be there at the end and that is all that matters.

Mayfield, to me, is a clear #1. Experience and speed EVERYWHERE. LCA with their transfers is a close #2. Boley is a beast! I half a step down is #3 Beechwood. I still see them going back to Kroger as the path in the East is easier than the West. OCath is 4 but have not proven to be playoff worthy in a while. Couple steps down is 5-15 and can go in any order.

Paducah Tilghman at McCracken County Predictions/Updates
The Mustangs have a lot of questions going into their season. They scaled down their schedule in hope to have more success under Coach Smith. The last couple of seasons have not been kind to McCracken. Their numbers are back up but that does not translate to talent. Their strength should be their run game. Their O-line is big and they are return their leading rusher from last year. Maddox O'Neal (Soph) is a transfer from Mayfield and will start at QB. I've seen this kid grow and has potential to be special. The Cardinals will miss him after Cartwright's last ride. Overall, their offense should not be the issue. Defensively is where they will struggle. Paducah- 49 McCracken- 17

Jeremiah Jones (Murray '25) Recruiting
One good off season, a couple of camps, change of coach/system and he's off and running. Very talented and humble kid. This list will only grow from here. Congrats Jeremiah!!

2023 Owensboro Catholic Aces
The Aces will be a contender. Atwell had an impressive Sophomore campaign and is only getting better. Outside of OCath, district 2 looks to be the weakest in 2A. I liked the pick up of North Hardin. Tough opponent right before playoffs should give us an idea of where they are. Good luck to the Aces.
