THE APEX TIMES
KCD topped Holy Cross in a high school playoff game to move on to the third round, extending its run for another week.
Kentucky Country Day School moved deeper into the postseason on Saturday, defeating Holy Cross 42-13 to keep its playoff season alive for another week, according to a report from WLKY.
The win sends KCD into the third round of the playoffs, with the school scheduled to play again after establishing a sizable margin over the Cougars in the first part of the game and maintaining control through the final score.
WLKY reported that the teams have faced off multiple times, and this matchup added to KCD’s recent success in the series. The Cougars were held to 13 points as KCD compiled 42, according to the report.
For families and students connected to both programs, the result means another week of postseason competition, along with the normal ripple effects that come with playoff rounds, including additional school and community support activities and travel to the next game.
High school playoff schedules also carry practical implications for athletic departments, which must coordinate practice windows, venue readiness, and game-day staffing for the next round once a team advances. With the third-round berth secured, KCD’s fall athletics program will continue that logistical planning.
While the WLKY report focused on the game result and the move to the third round, the next matchup details were not included in the information provided for this report.
KCD’s 42-13 victory over Holy Cross marks the latest step in its postseason run and sets up its next appearance in the third round.
Holy Cross, meanwhile, will conclude its 2026 playoff run with the loss, the report said, ending a postseason campaign that did not reach the third-round stage for this season.
