[Bull got out!]

#2 Johnson Central and # 6 Lexington Catholic will square off in Lexington this Friday in a battle of the class 4A top 10 matchup. Last year Lexington Catholic lost in a high scoring playoff game to eventual State Champion Boyle County 49-41. Johnson Central was stunned at home against Franklin County 20-12. Johnson Central looked might impressive in there win against Henry Clay as that offense got off to a nice start. Lexington Catholic had nice game with Ryle.

Who you got?

In past seasons, Lexington Catholic has struggled with Johnson Central's physical line play. Johnson Central's defense will improve as the season progresses but at this point, they may not be up to shutting down Lexington Catholic's passing game. Lexington Catholic returns its QB for his senior season, its leading rusher, and its leading receiver from last season. I am guessing that LexCath must believe that it will be better able to compete with JC on the LOS based on the fact that this game is on the schedule.

I am going with Johnson Central in this one.

[TD Hounds]

This should be telling for both teams, if it’s a route either way then someone’s a pretender. If Lex Cath can throw the ball on JC and slow the run game down they have a really good chance. If JC moves the chains consistently then it’s not gonna matter.

[German Eye]

Central’s offense, running behind The Raging Bull, Grant Bingham, and the rest of The Pancake Platoon will give Catholic fits.
Catholic will score, but not near enough.

Lex Cath will try to turn this into a BIG 12 type game. JC wins 49-38.

I think JC gets off to a slow start as they will need to deal with another 2.5 hr bus ride; plus, the game will not start until 9:00. The combination of the 2, may throw off their mojo early in the game. Ultimately, their run-heavy offense will be too much for LC to overcome.

One more thought; Because of the heat index on Friday, I would not be surprised if both games of the Bluegrass Bowl are cancelled altogether. 

Obviously, safety of players always comes to mind, but also need to health and well being of the fans. 

It will be interesting to see if Fayette County Board of Health weighs in.

The Eagles will pound the ball and wear the boys from Lexington down. JC will control the game, and tempo, from start to finish.

[Old guy]

As of now, game is still a go. Players that were exposed are isolating. No practice yesterday.

[Bull got out!]

Hope all is well for JC.

[Westside]

Hope all is well for JC.

I agree.  I hope all is well.

I’m not sure where you’re getting your information from. We just played your Bulldogs in a middle school game last night.  
We’ve had ONE kid that tested positive and he’s away from the team. We did cancel practice yesterday but that was just out of caution. Who’s your source?

[A Tribe Called Quest]

I thought I heard that JC was staying in Lexington to cut the cost of travel and bus fees. Regardless hope all is well with them this week and further on.

[#55PirateFan]

I hope this is just a rumor. I'd hate to see the Eagles miss out on the chance at another state title that their primed to get. Hope all is well.

[Iggyfan]

Johnson Central is out. Lex Cath will be playing Pulaski County.

Wow, I'm saddened for the student- athletes. Get well JC and come back sooner and stronger and maybe make that run to Kroger.

[German Eye]

How will forfeiting to LC, effect Central’s playoff run? Absolutely nothing.
