Class 5A Championship: #2 Frederick Douglass vs. #1 Covington Catholic Predictions/Updates

The top 2 teams all season will square off for the 5A State title.

Surprised Owensboro could get 17 points against FD. I’ll take Cov Cath 17-14 in a defensive contest.

Colonels are moving on all cylinders. I like Colonels 17-7

I’m gonna go CCH 28 FD 7

Has the date and time for this game been released?

I think FD is the better team. Although they lack a good passing offense - which mainly consists of short screens and throwing balls up for grab (which seems to work with Key), they have phenomenal athletes and a great O-line. Owensboro was able to stay in the game because of their speed and athletes across the board. I think CovCath will have much more trouble with FD's athletes. It is strength against strength, but I think FD's skill players will be too much for CovCath.

FD 35-14.

Wow, aggressive prediction, will be interesting if you're right and that comes to fruition.

DD, OHS just lost to FD - of course I'm going to pick FD!!! If CovCath can stop the run all night long - CC will win. Owensboro stopped them most of the night, except 2 big runs and a punt return. IF Neal gets a seam, its house time.

No one, including Cincinnati LaSalle, has been able to run on CovCath. If F.D. can, it will be interesting.

I wasn't shocked you picked F.D., was shocked at the margin you're projecting.

35-21 CCH.

Wow.

CCH by 10, this will come down to coaching and adaptation during the game and nobody does that better than Eviston.

Give me FD...
