Posted:  11/09/2009 11:10 AM
Berea at Lexington Christian

Records: No. 186 Berea 6-4 (beat South Floyd 51-20 last week); No. 29 LCA 9-1 (beat Corbin 41-21)

Radio: WJMM-FM 99.1

Playoff Pirates: In his third year as Berea coach, Kenan McWhorter has the Pirates on the upswing. They went 8-2 last year (but didn't compete in district). It was their first winning season since 2000. Now they're in the playoffs for the first time since 2001. Berea is in over its head against LCA, but then so are most 1A teams.

Big numbers: LCA's Domonique Hayden has pushed his career rushing totals to 6,199 yards and 104 TDs. Already the state record-holder for career TDs (121) and points (735), Hayden is chasing Derek Homer's rushing-TD record of 110.

High praise: Fairview Coach Nathan McPeek, whose team lost to district rival LCA 42-0 a few weeks ago, told Ashland's Daily Independent this week that the Eagles are the best team he's coached against in six years.
