Kentucky Country Day 42 Louisville Holy Cross 37

Final.

This game was over 10 minutes to go in the 4th with KCD up 42 19.....and then...

Sixteen penalties called on the Bearcats, more than a few for personal fouls and unsportsmanlike conduct, a number for questionable pass interferences that kept HC drives alive.. Four turnovers, including one recovered for a TD by HC. Two onside kick recoveries that eventually led to scores by Holy Cross. Most of that happened in the last 10 minutes of the game after the Bearcats were comfortably secure.

You want the definition of winning ugly? It happened on Dixie Highway last night for KCD...much the best, but a very hostile crowd, refs that flagged the Bearcats incessantly led to a loss of focus and composure. Good to learn from this one and then quickly put it in the rear view mirror. In time it will seem a little sweeter for KCDs seniors that they’ve beaten the cross town rivals back to Back and got the W for the first time ever at HC. In time it’ll seem sweeter. Not this morning.
