Newport Central Catholic Athletics, Cincinnati Bearcats, Cincinnati Bengals, Cincinnati Reds, New York Yankees, Cleveland Cavaliers, Los Angeles Lakers
Beechwood needs to move up to retain their integrity as a top notch small-school program along with NewCath. Neither programs' season would be complete (in my mind at least) without playing eachother in a game that meant something state-title wise.
I'm saying the quote of "NewCath, Danville, and Beechwood are the Big 3" is usually the tune heard every year. Mayfield hasn't been as consistently in it the past few years.
A State Final (especially the champ) 1A team is, more often than not, going to be better than a State Final 2A team.
NewCath will most likely be the stronger team.
