Ky. Round 1 high school football playoff pairings

Though most of the matchups were decided before teams took the field on the final Friday night of the regular season, things were very much up in the air inside of Class 5A, District 5. However, after a three-way tie was split it was the South Oldham Dragons that earned the top seed despite a loss.

Conner is the No. 2 seed and will get at least one home playoff game. Cooper won nine games, but their one loss (to Conner) caused them to go from being district champs to the No. 3 seed and traveling in Week 11.
