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. 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 reminding people just how challenging the Eagles' schedule has been through the first month of the season.

📰 Headlines 🗞️
- Zane Johnson went out on his shield in a marquee game of national interest. In a matchup of Top 25 teams, Johnson carried the Trinity offense, attempting a career high 43 passes and throwing for 330 yards and three touchdowns, plus one more with his legs. Unfortunately, the Rocks' oft impenetrable defense was no match for the incomparable David Gabriel Georges.
- The stat line of the week was no contest. Kade Goodin went off on Oldham County with a career night: 25/32 for 383 yards and 5 touchdowns with another 152 and three scores on the ground. Collins will likely have to win some shootouts to contend for the district, so another game or two like this could be on the horizon.
