Score predictions for Week 7 of Kentucky high school football
We’re in for another fun stretch of high school football in the state of Kentucky. District play is officially underway as we’re over halfway through the regular season.
Week 7 action features three matchups between KSR’s Top 25 ranked teams. The KSR Game of the Week headlines the schedule, as No. 3 Male and No. 8 Frederick Douglass will meet for the first-ever meeting on the gridiron. We’ll also be treated to No. 11 Ryle visiting No. 4 St. Xavier in Louisville and No. 13 Corbin battling No. 21 Johnson Central in Paintsville.
A big chunk of games are scheduled for Thursday night as well, including five featuring ranked or receiving votes teams. The likes of No. 1 Boyle County, No. 16 DuPont Manual, and No. 20 South Warren are all on byes this week, but otherwise, it’s a packed slate.
As we gear up for Week 7 action, we’re predicting the score for every major game on the docket for Friday. Using the Massey Ratings — a system created in 1999 by statistician Kenneth Massey that was used to help determine the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) until 2013 — we are able to plug every high school team across the state into a tool that will predict the final outcome of any given matchup.
As a quick explanation, the Massey Ratings are computer ratings based on historical trends and current-year stats. With that in mind, it will need a few weeks’ worth of games before the numbers begin to hit their stride. However, you won’t find a more reliable system to use in terms of predicting scores throughout the first couple of weeks of the regular season.
