As I said in the the thread when these teams played a couple weeks back, this game will be much closer than people think(assuming beal and some of the other Indians are healthy, about 8 or 9 were not in pads against int Owen Co.) I would love to say that my Indians will win but I can't. It is going to be a tough mountain to climb so I will say ncc by 14 but I won't be surprised if it comes down to the wire.

I predict a great deal of crying by Koz. NCC by 4 TDs

Everyone knows that going in NCC will probably win. But HC has the talent to change that, they just need to show up and play hard. Beal has been out with an ankle sprain, not sure on his return.

HC may have the talent to keep the game a little closer, but not enough talent to beat New Cath. Imo.

I saw where this game is being played on Thursday night. Is something going on at Newport Friday night or is it HC related?

Holy Cross does not have the talent to compete against NCC. Not even close this year. I can't think of any more than 3 Holy Cross players that would have a chance to start for NCC. Sorry. I am not trying to kick the team when they are down, just telling it like it is, at least IMO.

Rumor is that HC has a fundraiser that night. Would love it if they made it Saturday. There may be some extra spectators from Fort Thomas.

NCC has a Cake Walk to round 4. NCC in big way.

FTBIGBIRD is correct, Holy Cross is having their Annual Sports Nite Fundraiser at Paul Brown Stadium on Friday night, therefore it was pre-determined that if HC won last Friday night that the game would be played on a different night.

Holy Cross/NCC game will be played on Saturday, Nov. 10th at Newport High School at 7:00 PM.

NCC 44 HC 12

I'm hearing the game has been scheduled for Thursday night. NCC did not want to play the next round on short rest. They would rather take their chances playing HC on short rest.

NCC wants to play HC right now. I know that to be true. HC will get NewCath's best shot.
