Score predictions for Week 10 of Kentucky high school football

The 2024 Kentucky high school football regular season is quickly coming to a close. Most (but not all) schools across the state have just two games remaining before postseason play picks up in early November. Looking ahead to Friday’s slate, we’ll be treated to just one game between ranked opponents as District play continues.

No. 12 Ashland Blazer hosting No. 23 Johnson Central will be one to keep an eye on. Blazer has one loss on the season against Harvest Preparatory School out of Ohio. This will actually be the final regular season game for Johnson Central, which holds a 7-2 record.

As for the Game of the Week, we’ll be out in western Kentucky to watch Owensboro (5-3) host Madisonville-North Hopkins (6-2). Owensboro is receiving votes in KSR’s latest Top 25 poll while Madisonville-North Hopkins is pushing to jump back into the rankings. For a full preview of what’s in store for the GOTW, click here.

As we gear up for Week 10 action, we’re predicting the score for every major game on the docket for Friday. Using the Massey Ratings — a system created in 1999 by statistician Kenneth Massey that was used to help determine the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) until 2013 — we are able to plug every high school team across the state into a tool that will predict the final outcome of any given matchup.

As a quick explanation, the Massey Ratings are computer ratings based on historical trends and current-year stats. With that in mind, it will need a few weeks’ worth of games before the numbers begin to hit their stride. However, you won’t find a more reliable system to use in terms of predicting scores throughout the first couple of weeks of the regular season.
