The Kentucky high school football regular season begins this week, and one of the teams in action will be the St. X Tigers.

Last year, the Tigers went 10-4 overall, losing all four of their games to eventual state champions, whether Kentucky or Ohio state champs. In fact, their postseason run ended in the state semifinal round of the KHSAA 6A playoffs to the Trinity Shamrocks, who ultimately won the 6A title.

This year, St. X is hoping to win a 6A State Championship of its own, and its success may start with the offensive line:

St. X begins its regular season on Friday at home against Cathedral (IN). Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. ET.
