Kroger's Kentucky High School Football Rundown - Playoffs Round 1
The first round of the Kentucky high school football postseason typically doesn’t result in much drama. This year was no different.
Most of the outcomes across the state saw lopsided scores with only a couple of forfeits sprinkled in. The Kroger KSR Game of the Week between Dixie Heights and Woodford County at Falling Springs Park started off as a tight contest, but the Colonels ultimately powered past the Yellow Jackets in the second half, advancing to the second round by a dominant final score of 60-14. Dixie Heights will take on No. 12 Highlands in round two of the playoffs next week.
Elsewhere, all of KSR’s top 25 ranked teams made it to the second round. Only one first-round matchup remains before we can officially look ahead to next week. Newport will take on Holy Cross (Covington) at Highlands this afternoon with kickoff scheduled for 1:00 p.m. EST. Once the first round officially wraps up, the real fun begins as the path to Kroger Field only gets tougher from here.
