Score predictions for the semifinals of the Kentucky high school football playoffs

The stage is set for the Kentucky high school football semifinals. 24 teams remain as six teams are just two more wins away from winning one of the state’s six state championships.

Tonight’s slate includes all 12 semi-final matches, two from each class. 19 of the schools remaining in the bracket are ranked among KSR’s Top 25. Seven of the dozen matchups feature a pair of ranked teams going head-to-head, including the KSR Game of the Week between No. 7 Covington Catholic (11-2) ) and no. 6 Franklin County (12-0) in Class 4A.

As we prepare for the semifinal round of the postseason, we predict the outcome for each game on the evening’s program. By using Massey Ratings – a system created in 1999 by statistician Kenneth Massey, which was used to help determine the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) until 2013 – we are able to connect all high school teams across the state to one tool, that will predict the final result of a given matchup.
