With most teams having just two regular-season games remaining, it’s now or never as high school football teams make playoff pushes in Week 9.
Highlands will look to bounce back after a loss against Ohio No. 2 Elder, staying on the road to face Mason County. Beechwood hopes to remain the top team in Class 2A as the Tigers travel to Gallatin County. Holy Cross aims to continue creeping up the ranks in 1A and remain undefeated in a contest against Trimble County.
Last week’s rivalry matches switch partners in Week 9, as Bellevue faces Newport and Dayton faces Newport Central Catholic. South Dearborn and Lawrenceburg square off in a battle of Southeast Indiana foes, while East Central faces a tough road test at Indianapolis Roncalli.
Check back often as we continually update throughout the night with live scoring and news updates. Once games conclude, be sure to stick around for box scores and game recaps detailing all the action.
High school football Week 9 live updates
Covington Catholic sends Harrison County fans to bed early with a 56-0 win
The Colonels never gave Harrison County a chance, jumping out to an early 35-0 lead to get the clock running. Time flies when you’re having fun, and CovCath certainly had fun in their romp tonight.
Holy Cross scores early and often against Trimble County, winning 58-0
The Indians took a 39-0 lead at the end of the first quarter, and the clock ran out on Trimble County’s hopes of getting on the board. Holy Cross’s undefeated season continues, now 8-0 in their best season in program history.
Newport blanks Bellevue, wins 6-0
On the Wildcats’ first offensive play of the game, Newport’s Carvonta Roper caught a short pass and ran it all the way in for the score, putting Newport up 6-0. That would prove to be the only score of the entire contest, as the Wildcats shut out the Tigers and claimed a 6-0 win.
NewCath thundering past Dayton
The Thoroughbreds came out of the gate with tremendous speed, racing out to a 28-0 lead with over nine minutes left in the first quarter.
Simon Kenton and Campbell County trading blows
The Camels went up first, but the Pioneers responded with a field goal and 65-yard touchdown drive to take a 10-7 lead. Simon Kenton would strike again with just 38 seconds left in the half, a 15-yard touchdown pass from Grant Webb to Forest Hughes and it looked like the 17-7 lead would hold until halftime. Campbell County had other ideas, as Xander Guy hit Cade Anthrop for a lightning-fast 43-yard score. Out of the halftime break, the Camels scored to retake the lead off of a Xander Guy 29-yard touchdown to Gavin Richardson. The Pioneers would score on the first play of the fourth quarter to flip the lead once again, 24-21.
