Is LaSalle a quality team this year? Not what I'm hearing from my Ohio connections.

That's why he's arguing a switch in Cov Cath v Highlands spots.

If I'm wrong, I'm certain that Purple will tell me.

Nope. You got it. What's good for one should be good for both.

I'm not sure. I admittedly am clueless when it comes to how good the Ohio schools are. I know of the big name schools there but I use the judgment on BGP when determining how good they are.

They got beat by Lakota West this past week. If you believe what is said on Yappi and what my Buckeye buddies tell me, that should never happen. Lakota West is not considered as a powerhouse Cincinnati program. La Salle is starting 2 or 3 freshman on the varsity team; one of which may be the QB. The frosh QB played in the Lakota West game and actually had a pretty good night. Still, starting that many frosh is not a good sign for a GCL South team. Defense played very poorly against Lakota West I was told. One friend who is pretty close to the LaSalle program is predicting a very, very long season. He's hoping that by the end of the year, as the frosh and other young players get experience, the team may end up not being too bad. But he's expecting rough times before then.

So what did you see in Lex Cath's 50+ point loss that made you feel that they were better than CovCath? I'm not saying that the same thing would have happened or not to CovCath, but how can that argument be made this week?

They are down to QB #3. Still have a solid Dline like they always seem to do.

That's the one thing La Salle can do. They can go through these rebuilding years, because one year as the #1 or #2 team in the GCL South is like a 4 year run for St. X. They seem to have those years where they ride a talented senior class.

If CovCath keeps LaSalle from scoring they should be number 1.

Bingo. Unlike X, Moeller, Colerain, Elder, etc., LaSalle doesn't just re-load; they have to re-build. Looks like Grippa has a talented frosh class and is going to ride it and endure the bumpy ride this year, in order to have a very, very good team in several years.

I'll bet they'd win NKY 6A. Not that that makes them a quality team, especially for an Ohio school. Whenever you can get a win against a GCL South opponent it's a huge win regardless. JMO.

No doubt.

Based on this info should CovCath be the favorite? I need to visit the CovCath/LaSalle thread.

Don't know. I haven't seen LaSalle play this year so I have no idea who will be the favorite. All I know is what I've been told/read about LaSalle and CovCath. LaSalle is supposedly way down from last year and CovCath is supposedly better than last year. Whether that movement is enough to make CovCath the favorite, I don't know.

Gotcha.

Both Lex Cath and Cov Cath losses have come to out of state teams. Lex Cath didn't have a chance against Ensworth, TN but from what I had been reading I thought Cov Cath would have been better than LaSalle, OH. So, I think it would be correct in moving Lex Cath to #2. We will see in the coming weeks though. Both have some pretty good competition ahead of them.

Anyone else?
