Here we go again.  Call it the PBR curse, parity, or whatever else you want to call it.

Fresh off of being ranked in the No. 1 spot for the second time this season, Tates Creek fell to No. 12 Lexington Catholic 9-2.  It marks the fourth straight week the No. 1 team in the Power 25 has lost, and each time it has been multiple losses, so the Commodores will have to rebound quickly in their game with No. 2 Dunbar this evening to break that trend.
