The report places Simon Kenton fourth in the girls’ Eighth Region RPI standings and says the Pioneers will face the winner of South Oldham and Collins at Grant County on 21 October. South Oldham has reportedly lost once in 14 matches, making that potential semifinal the toughest immediate test.
Walton-Verona, listed fifth in the RPI, is due to meet Woodford County and could then face North Oldham.
The leading attacking figures listed in the report are:
The Ninth Region begins with Ryle against Highlands, according to the report. Ryle is listed at 18-3-1 and without a loss against Northern Kentucky opposition, while Highlands reportedly entered this section after a 4-2 defeat by Newport Central Catholic in the 36th District final.
Their previous meeting ended 1-1 on 8 October, leaving little between two teams that have occupied the top two RPI positions for much of the season.
Elsewhere, Dixie Heights face Beechwood, defending champions Covington Catholic meet St Henry, and Cooper play Newport Central Catholic. In the boys’ Eighth Region, Simon Kenton are due to face Carroll County, with Nasser Hussein and Marco Barrios reportedly carrying 21 and 18 goals respectively.
The girls’ Eighth Region semifinals are scheduled for 21 October, with the final on 24 October at Grant County. Ninth Region semifinals are set for 22 October at Tower Park, followed by the final there on 24 October. The boys’ 10th Region final is also scheduled for 24 October at Campbell County.
The next fixtures will reveal whether Ryle’s reported local unbeaten run and Simon Kenton’s attacking momentum can survive knockout football.
