After an expectedly slow and unexciting opening round of the Kentucky high school football playoffs, round two came correct with plenty of thrillers across the state.

Several of the state’s top teams such as No. 1 Boyle County, No. 2 Paducah Tilghman, and No. 4 Trinity rolled to easy, blowout wins. But not all of the best schools were as lucky. No. 3 DuPont Manual, No. 8 Male, and No. 13 St. Xavier were all upset on Friday. No. 19 Covington Catholic barely escaped with a one-point win over No. 24 Johnson Central while Madison Central upset No. 25 Bryan Station in a two-point victory. It was simply a great night for football in the Bluegrass.
