Round two of the KHSAA football playoffs are here as we step closer and closer to Kroger Field for the six state championship games. Here are some notable games ahead of week two’s playoff slate:

1A

Hazard (8-4) at Pikeville (10-2)

Pikeville finished a perfect 4-0 in KHSAA’s 1A division in the regular season, including a 17-0 shutout against Hazard just three weeks ago before going on to claim the District 7 crown.

The story of that matchup was, you guessed it, Blake Birchfield’s massive night on the ground.
