KHSAA Football: And Then There Were Twelve

A lot of drama around the Commonwealth last Friday as the State Semi-Finals were contested (home teams listed first):

Class 6A:

Lou. Trinity 14 - 7 Lex. Frederick Douglass (OT)

Lou. Ballard 21 - 24 Lex. Bryan Station

Class 5A:

Ft. Thomas Highlands 15 - 17 Cooper

Bowling Green 38 - 6 Owensboro

Class 4A:

Cov. Catholic 22 - 14 Pad. Tilghman

Franklin Co. 14 - 41 Boyle Co.

Class 3A:

Christian Academy-Louisville 43 - 8 Lex. Catholic

Hart Co. 28 - 30 Bell Co.

Class 2A:

Owensboro Catholic 44 - 15 Somerset

Mayfield 31 - 28 Beechwood

Mayfield won on a last second field goal by the same kicker whose missed extra point cost them in a 14-13 loss to Beechwood in the State Title Game last year.

Class 1A:

Kentucky Country Day 6 - 42 Raceland

Campbellsville 21 - 28 Pikeville

So that gives us the following title games (MaxPreps rankings in parentheses).  All games at Kroger Field in Lexington, Ky.  Top 20 teams in bold:

Class 6A (Saturday, 3 P.M. Central):

(2) Lou. Trinity v. (5) Lex. Bryan Station

Class 5A (Saturday, 7 P.M. Central):

(10) Cooper v. (12) Bowling Green

Class 4A (Friday, 7 P.M. Central):

(7) Cov. Catholic v. (1) Boyle Co.

Class 3A (Saturday, 11 A.M. Central):

(8) Christian Academy-Louisville v. (29) Bell Co.

Class 2A (Friday, 3 P.M. Central):

(17) Owensboro Catholic v. (14) Mayfield

Class 1A (Friday, 11 A.M. Central):

(31) Raceland v. (32) Pikeville

If MaxPreps is right, every game -- with the possible exception of the 3A matchup -- should be really good.
