Introduction

Game One will pit defending Class A Champion Danville against Class 3A power Lexington Catholic.  The Danville Admirals, coached by Sam Harp, lost a lot of talent through graduation but they still rank as the team to beat for the Class A title.  QB Adam Schott, has thrown for more than 4500 yards in his career and 51 scoring strikes.  They also have a speedy running back in Kelvin Turner and a dangerous receiver in Wesley Cloud.  Danville opened the season with a 64-0 victory over Washington County.  Coach Bob Sphire's Lexington Catholic Knights finished 12-1 last season and despite graduating a lot of talent last year should be a force again this year.  QB Jacob Doss has connected on 75 scoring strikes and passed for more than 5200 yards in his career.  WR John Logan is one of the fastest players in the state and is a threat anytime he touches the ball. 

Game Two will match Class 4A Bryan Station against Class 2A Corbin.  Coach Norm Powell's Bryan Station Defenders finished 1-8 last year and dropped their season opener to Madison Central 20-12.  They did get good performances from running backs Darrell Brooks and Chris Seals.  They also expect a big season from 230 pound RB/NG Markeith Gillis.  Coach Steve Jewell's Corbin Redhounds lost a lot of players through graduation and lost their opener to Conner 20-6.  RB Jarrod Lawson and WR Isaac Mills had good performances in the opener.
