Lexington Catholic's defensive line just gave up too many rushing yards this year, Kramer will get the ball at 15 to 30 times and will get at least a 150 yards and a 3 to 4 touchdown performance. I say Highlands will win this one over 20.

Specific to Birds fans, keep in mind LexCath lost to St. X 37-34.

I feel the score will be well under 40 for both teams because Highlands will control the clock and win the time of possession game. Lexington Catholic's defense will give up the long drive. This game will only get into the 40's if Highlands gets out to a big lead. The Knights would then make a valiant comeback and score a lot of points and possibly win the game. The lower the scoring, the higher the probability that Highlands will win it!

This is Highlands your talking about.
This is the Regional Final.
When was the last time that they were in a game and someone scored 40 in a regional final and it wasn't Highlands?
Highlands Bluebirds = DEFENSE
Always has, always will.
Oh yeah, the answer to your question is yes. They will hold them under 40.

Nov 14, 05, 09:34 AM #53Will Highlands hold the score under forty if LexCath gets a two td lead early?

LexCath will not be overconfident coming to Ft. Thomas-even if they had been playing at home for that matter.
If you read my post, I said I think Highlands will win.

I think this was when the tailback finished the drive with a fifty yard td on a screen pass on fourth down. I've said it before and I'll say it again, LexCath needs to go to the run game to keep teams honest especially this Friday. We may not score as quickly at first but it seems to give the linemen confidence. Takes mental pressure off Burke too. The last time these two played, Highlands got a big lead by running student body left and right on seemingly every play. The tackles did an excellent job of taking advantage of the gray area of what constitutes holding versus a legitimate block. I hope our guys prepare for this. It's my biggest concern.

Nov 14, 05, 11:36 AM #57This is a BIG game for Lex Cath. They face much the same hype about this game that Lexington Christian did about last Friday's game. Can the Lexington team beat the NKY team with tradition and a lot of state titles. Lexington Christian did it and I believe that this is the year that Lexington Catholic pulls it off as well.
Should be a GREAT game and should be close.
