I really don't see NCC having too much problem with the Tigers.. They do have a nice looking QB, a solid RB and a good WR that will catch it if it's anywhere close, however, after the way Mayfield manhandled them the last week of the regular season, I trully thought OB Cath and Murray were the 2 best teams in the region with Hancock and Caldwell, pretty close for the #3 slot, then Caldwell hammered Hancock, which surprised me, then beat a tough Murray team for the 2nd time, which also surprised me and then beat a solid Desales team, who came out of a tough region with Glasgow, Green Co, CAL and Bardstown and that also surprised me, so, who knows, maybe Caldwell just a bad night against Mayfield and they're better than I thought they were, but, I still think they'll struggle against a good defensive team and will struggle stopping a balanced NCC offense with good speed and playmakers.. Hope I'm wrong, but, I think this one could get ugly..I'll say 48-21 to be nice..

Any more surprises??? :lol: J/K

I remember in 1998 when Danville was a shoe-in to beat Caldwell County in the AA state championship. Caldwell put together a huge run in the second half to win the game, 38-28. I wouldn't mind seeing the same thing happen this season, and while I think the game can be close, I just think Newport Central Catholic will have too much firepower and too much defense for the Tigers to overcome.

Caldwell County runs the Tony Franklin system ... Caldwell's coach, David Barnes, is a good friend of Franklin's and has used the offense since he was at Daviess County. Elijah Sindelar is the quarterback, a 6-4 sophomore that is a good athlete, very mobile and can scramble and buy time for his receivers. Jaylen Boyd is the tailback and is also a sophomore. He's a quick back who can carry the ball 20-25 times a game or more if needed. Tez Sivels is the Tigers' best receiver and their money guy in the passing game ... he made a great one-handed catch in the end zone for a touchdown in the Murray game and caught a 70-yard pass that finally put away the game with DeSales.

 

The Tigers have a young defense led by defensive end Cole Webster, the only senior starter on that side of the ball. Caldwell has a lot of sophomores and juniors at the other positions and a very talented and athletic freshman, Dee Cain, in the secondary.

Thanks!

Where is CGG12's scouting report on Caldwell County?:idunno:

It's hard to tell about this one. You think Caldwell's defense isn't that good but they do just enough to win. Just enough to beat Murray. Just enough to beat DeSales. High scoring game favors Caldwell County. But if Caldwell falls behind by two or more scores early, it will be a long day.

Newport Catholic 28-7.

It's coming. He's been pretty accurate thus far.

From what I can tell the Tigers have improved a little since the Mayfield thumping the last game of the regular season but they really seem to struggle with balanced teams. NCC is not quite as strong as Mayfield but not far behind. I hope Caldwell pulls it out since they are our neighbors but realisticly NCC should win. Better get them now, they return everyone next year

Toothpick, why is it Mayfield folk can't go one thread without somehow slipping in something about them being better than NCC? It doesn't even cross my mind when I was looking at the BW/Mayfield thread last week. We can talk about what would happen if the two teams played all day but fact is no one can truly say cuz they don't play. I just know the last time they faced off was in the state championship and it was embarrassing! Mayfield's QB then couldn't QB for NCC's middle school team. I'm sure going into that game your fan base thought you had a shot. Watched the game film of Caldwell/mayfield and mayfield looked very good, I don't care who would win a Mayfield/NCC cuz they don't play this week. I love the fact that Caldwell is so confident, it makes it fun. Sarge, my prediction is coming.

Really captain obvious, what else is this sight for? That's why facts are nice to see in here every once in a while.

From what I have seen of NCC this year (and also historically), they will run on you until they know you can at least minimally contain it. If they are getting big chunks of yardage and lots of first downs, they might end up having only 5 passes the whole game. That doesn't mean, however, that they don't a good passing attack. This year they have a very good one. In later games in the season, they changed things up by passing to set up the run. Very good balance from the Breds this year. Any opponent has to stay close for 3 quarters in a low scoring defensive game to have a chance. A high scoring affair is not a good thing for Caldwell, because NCC's defense gets better as the offense racks up the points. Caldwell has to somehow stem the tide of the traditional first half NCC explosion of points. Force some turnovers, try to get some favorable field position, play extremely well defensively, pray for slick field conditions. (Note: these are objective comments from someone who is NOT an NCC follower).

You need to chill out a little. It is all in fun until someone like you gets their panties in a wad. :rolleyes:
