Bethel-Tate (3-5) at Bishop Brossart (5-4)
WHEN: 7 p.m. Friday



WHAT TO WATCH: The running back duo of Kameron Wilson and Zach Mullins lead Bethel-Tate. The two have combined for 1,519 rushing yards.

BOTTOM LINE: Bethel-Tate is a Division III team in Ohio. Size-wise, the Mustangs are at a disadvantage. But last week they clinched their first playoff appearance in program history. Bethel-Tate has been mathematically eliminated from the playoffs. That might factor into the outcome.

No. 10 Boone County (3-6) at No. 6 Dixie Heights (4-5)
WHEN: 7 p.m. Friday

WHAT TO WATCH: Dixie Heights has a trio of receivers among the area's statistical leaders. Ben Haggerty has 34 catches for 515 yards and four touchdowns. Bobby Leonard has 35 catches for 376 yards and three touchdowns, and Josh Stegner has 37 catches for 480 yards and three touchdowns.

BOTTOM LINE: Don't let the rankings fool you. Dixie is the favorite, but not by much.

Campbell County (3-6) at George Rogers Clark (6-3)
WHEN/WHERE: 7:30 p.m. Friday; 620 Boone Ave., Winchester

WHAT TO WATCH: Campbell County junior quarterback Michael Kremer is averaging 262 passing yards per game, No. 1 in the state. If he keeps it up, he'll be the first local player to lead the state in passing at the end of the regular season since Highlands quarterback Gino Guidugli did it in 2000.

BOTTOM LINE: Clark has beaten some very good teams, including Lafayette and Henry Clay. The Cardinals should win handily.

No. 5 Covington Catholic (5-4) at Louisville St. Xavier (8-1)
WHEN/WHERE: 7:30 p.m. Friday; 1609 Poplar Level Road, Louisville

WHAT TO WATCH: St. Xavier has two very good and versatile backs in Lamont McMurray and Jeremiah Neal. The duo has combined for 1,663 yards and 24 touchdowns.

BOTTOM LINE: According to state computer polls, St. Xavier is the top team in the state regardless of class. The Tigers are a heavy favorite.

Harrison County (5-4) at No. 8 Holmes (7-2)
WHEN: 7:30 p.m. Friday
