2. Trinity

Following its 16-10 loss to St. Xavier on September 28, Trinity has reeled off three wins in a row with the latest a 49-0 shutout of Eastern on Friday night. The Shamrocks will face Oldham County this week in their last game of the year before the playoffs.

3. Louisville Male

The Bulldogs got all they could handle from Fern Creek over the weekend before winning a 17-0 shutout. They will be back in action against Bullitt East this Friday before a top-5 tilt to close the season against Dupont Manual.

Manual is 7-1 heading into the final two weeks of the season, with a game at 6-3 Meade County this week before the aforementioned showdown against Louisville Male on November 1.

The Tigers recovered from a tough upset loss to Dupont Manual by beating Meade County 45-21 on Friday night. They’ll host 1-7 Pleasure Ridge Park this week before No. 14 Bowling Green comes to Louisville to end the regular season.

7. Cooper

The Jaguars completely overwhelmed Boone County on Friday in a 48-14 demolition of the home squad. A game this week against Dixie Heights is the only thing between them an unblemished season.

After back to-back wins over state top-30 opponents, Douglass is 5-3 with two games to go. Their biggest game of the season looms on November 1 though, a huge matchup against Boyle County.
