Lexington Catholic, Highlands, Johnson Central, and Covington Catholic look to be the frontrunners in 4a next season. I would say Lexington Catholic has to be ranked at least 1 or 2 and the Highlands/Covington Catholic rivalry will be much more heated. Central could be a factor as well but in the end I see another Lexington Catholic/ Highlands rematch at DCMS. Highlands has a big monkey on their backs going for #6 as this will be the headline every week for them next year in the playoffs. They have a quarterback lacking experience under center, but who is very athletic. They are also very solid at RB with the speedy Seidl and powerhouse Harris. I expect to see a completely different offense next year. One that won't put up a ton of points but one that will be just as effective at scoring as this year's squad. I think next year's offense will mirror the 08' team. In the end I see the Birds beating Lex. Cath. albeit it much tighter game. No disrespect to the other side of the bracket but I think they're a non issue.
