Blockbuster, early-season matchups in the state of Kentucky keep on coming in week three when #2 Male and #5 St. Xavier clash at Brother Thomas More Page Stadium in Louisville on Friday night.
There will be no love lost between these teams, as Male and St. Xavier are embroiled in one of the most heated rivalries in the entire state of Kentucky. Since 1998, these two programs have met on 37 separate occasions, with 14 of those meetings coming in the postseason. St. Xavier leads the series 20-17 (since 1998), but Male has won five of the last seven meetings, including three of four playoff matchups between the Bulldogs and Tigers.
