Does any western Kentucky soccer team finish with a tougher final week than Heath? Doubtful.
The Pirates (11-3-1) will close out the regular season with three games against state-ranked teams. Heath meets No. 23 Lexington Catholic and 22nd-ranked Scott, the top team in northern Kentucky, on Saturday as part of Madisonville's Donley Classic, then hosts 19th-ranked Marshall County on Thursday night.
Two of Heath's losses have come to ranked teams — No. 5 East Jessamine beat a shorthanded Pirates squad 5-1 at Bourbon County two weeks ago, and 10th-ranked Daviess County knocked off the Pirates 4-1 in late August.
Murray's boys will play Danville in the Class A Cup semifinals on Sunday in Frankfort, weather permitting — the final four has already been postponed twice because of heavy rain. Lexington Sayre and St. Henry will meet in the other semifinal.
"We may have to play twice in Frankfort," Murray coach Jim Baurer said. "Then we come back home and have to go to Madisonville on Monday. That's pretty tough scheduling, no matter what we do on Sunday."
