9-2 Bearcats travel to Newport to take on the Breds who have now won 6 straight.

 

Thoughts?

Should be a good game. If WV can be balanced it would go a long way towards making this a close game. It is hard to be a run only team on NCC. When NCC is on offense they have to avoid turnovers and penalties. If they can make WV play from behind it is to NCC's advantage.

Good luck to coach Barth and as much as I root for NCC, I'm okay to see WV end their season if they can pull the upset.

I would be surprised if this were close. Maybe not necessarily a high scoring game, but if the Bearcats can't throw effectively, they'll have trouble moving the ball.

 

I'll say Breds by 20. Good luck to both teams.

NewCath has not lost in the first or second round of the playoffs since 1999, and I think the streak will continue.

Here is a surprise, I am going with the Bearcats in an upset.

I don't think this one is within 3 TD's. Breds roll in to the region finals.

I like the faith and support for your team sarge. Unfortunately, I think Walter is more on target with what I expect.

Newport Catholic 35-14.

This one ends with a running clock. You are not gonna beat NCC by lining up and running over them. If you can throw, you can beat NCC. If not, no chance.

I'd love for my old college teammate to win a state title. I just can't root for it to happen while they are in the same class as the Breds.

Too many points for both teams. NCC 28 - 7

WV 14 NewCath 13

I see these score predictions but no reasons why the score will be that way. I'm very interested.
