"The defense played really, really well," Lexington Catholic head coach David Clark said. "That's kind of the focus of this team, being able to play really good defense. For the offense to be able to capitalize when opportunities come about, and to help our defense out, we need to sustain drives, move the football, control the clock and just play good old-fashioned football."
"Just trying to keep our principles and do what we do," senior receiver and defensive back Ethan Bradford said. "Don't worry too much about the other team. Our defense has obviously shown what we can do through the first two games, and we're just going to keep doing that. Last year was a great game. We brought it then, and now we have to bring it again." Copyright 2026 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
