Apollo travels across town to face Owensboro in a matchup between two teams coming off impressive district wins. The Eagles enter with momentum after a dominant 34-7 victory over Muhlenberg County, while Owensboro is coming off a 49-7 win over Graves County. With both teams playing well, Friday night sets up as a big city rivalry game with important district and playoff implications.

St. Xavier (2-2) comes into the game coming off a 31-0 loss to Elder. Trinity is (4-1) coming off 34-0 win over Male in a weather-shortened contest. Kickoff is at 8:00 pm at L&N Stadium. The Rocks are #1 in the state, nationally ranked, and will roll into this game like a buzz saw. St. X, after playing the #1 team in Ohio, now gets the #1 team in Kentucky, so the Tigers are jumping from the frying pan into the fire.

5A Pulaski County (5-0) at 6A South Warren (4-1)
 
The Maroons will load the buses and take the Cumberland Parkway over to Bowling Green on the roughly 2-hour trip (take a stop at Bucee's on the way back!!!) to take on a tough South Warren squad. This will be the second ever matchup between these two solid programs with South running all over Pulaski last season 35-0.

- Forget seeing double. Beechwood opponents are so dizzy, they're seeing triple. A Tiger tandem has evolved into a triad as Nathan Pabst joins Tyler Fryman and Emmett Queen in terrorizing defenses while Fryman snagged a career best thirteen receptions for 129 yards and scored a rushing touchdown.
It was a banner night for the Tigers.
- Ja'Hyde Brown is on pace to shatter the state record for touchdown receptions in a season after four of his six receptions reached the end zone against Central Hardin.
- Kade Goodin turned back the tide, overpowering Meade's Green Wave with a second straight eight touchdown performance. He's played at such a high level so far, that his 384 yards of total offense were a hundred yards less than his average coming in.
- It took a minute, but Dre'Mail Carothers and O-Cath finally took flight against Bardstown. Carothers finished with 427 yards of total offense and three combined scores.
