Scoreboard Rundown: Six ranked teams eliminated from 2nd round of playoffs

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.

Only 48 teams between the six classes remain. Third-round action set for Friday, November 22 features 24 matchups. We’re nearly halfway through the playoffs already as 12 teams fight for the right to play at Kroger Field the first week of December.

Below you can find all of the second-round final scores from teams among KSR’s Top 25 rankings, along with the teams outside of the rankings that received votes from our panel of voters. We have compared the final result to the pregame predictions from On3’s Massey Ratings.
