Any High School Football fan needs to read this latest blog on what very well could end up being a 5-way tie for first in one District.

The most competitive District in the Mountains (if not the whole state) has to be Class 5A, District 8. At this point in the season, there is a very real possibility of a 5-way tie for first. That's correct. It's not a typo... a 5-way tie!

5 teams could end up 3-2 with Clay County on the outside looking in at 0-5. Here is how it would play out:

Whitley County (2-1)

Lose vs. North Laurel

Win vs. Perry Central

Letcher Central (2-1)

Win vs. Clay County

Lose vs. North Laurel

Harlan County (2-1)

Lose vs. Perry Central

Win vs. Clay County

Perry Central (2-1)

Win vs. Harlan County
Lose vs. Whitley County

North Laurel (1-2)

Win vs. Whitley County

Win vs. Letcher Central

Clay County (0-3)

Lose vs. Letcher Central

Lose vs. Harlan County

If everything happens like I have laid out, 5 teams will tie for first at 3-2. It would then go to a tie breaker. In that case, North Laurel would be in the best shape with Whitley County in the most trouble... as of right now.

All I can say is hang on to your hats and buckle up. It's going to be a bumpy ride.
