Week one of the playoffs was mostly filled with blowouts, causing few changes in the Top 25. Hazard, ranked No. 4 in Class A, edged Sayre 24-21, which came in ranked No. 5 in the class. That sets up a big-time Hazard at Pikeville matchup this week. Pikeville will look for vengeance after being upset by Hazard 21-12 in the same round of last year’s playoffs.
Week two of the playoffs will feature four Top 25 matchups:
- No. 13 Manual at No. 3 St. Xavier
- No. 21 Ballard at No. 14 Trinity
- No. 16 Lexington Catholic at No.
