KHSAA Football: Down to the Semi-Finals

Here are the scores from a very exciting round of quarter-finals in the KHSAA football playoffs.  Home teams listed first:

Class 6A:
Lou. Trinity 45 - 0 McCracken Co.
Lou. Male 20 - 21 Lex. Frederick Douglass 
Lou. Ballard 28 - 3 Cent. Hardin
Lex. Bryan Station 49 - 12 Ryle

Class 5A:
Ft. Thomas Highlands 30 - 7 N. Laurel
Southwestern 14 - 24 Cooper
Bowling Green 51 - 14 Lou. Fairdale
Lou. Atherton 7 - 43 Owensboro

Class 4A:
Cov. Catholic 31 - 0 Johnson Cent.
Pad. Tilghman 42 - 0 Spencer Co.
Franklin Co. 37 - 29 Bardstown
Boyle Co. 21 - 14 Corbin

Class 3A:
Christian Academy-Louisville 52 - 13 Lou. Central
Rockcastle Co. 7 - 43 Lex. Catholic
Hart Co. 24 - 21 Union Co.
Bell Co. 38 - 36 E. Carter (OT)

Class 2A:
Owensboro Catholic 50 - 18 Green Co.
Somerset 56 - 20 Shelby Valley
Mayfield 58 - 36 Lex. Christian
Beechwood 55 - 0 Martin Co.

Lex. Christian was the number-1 team in Class 2A, and MaxPreps had them as the number-9 team in the whole Commonwealth for all classes.  Mayfield has a great history, and the Cardinals have won an enormous number of huge games, but to me this was one of Mayfield's greatest wins ever.

Class 1A:
Kentucky Country Day 29 - 16 Ludlow
Lex. Sayre 27 - 42 Raceland
Campbellsville 28 - 23 Newport Cent. Catholic
Pikeville 34 - 14 Middlesboro

That gives us the following semi-finals.  Home teams listed first, along with MaxPreps rating.  MaxPreps top 20 teams in bold.  This is a really great collection of games.
