After an action-packed opening week of high school football across Northern Kentucky and Southern Indiana, teams are back at it on Friday, Aug. 28 for more competition.

Headlining Northern Kentucky play is a battle between Covington Catholic and Elder. CovCath, ranked No. 4 in the Class 4A preseason poll, is coming off a big 50-6 win over Ryle to kick off the season. The Colonels will take on Elder, which defeated 2025 OHSAA state semifinalists Middletown 35-3 last week.

Meanwhile, preseason Class 4A No. 6 Highlands looks to bounce back following a late-game collapse against Frederick Douglass with a contest against Cooper, which beat Christian County. The Bluebirds lead the head-to-head against the Jaguars 8-5.
