Newport Central Catholic/Covington Catholic

[Yellow Card]

Who wins? Why?

[Oldtimebaseball84]

Will we see a post Trinity let down?

[Oldtimebaseball84]

I predict that "Catholic" wins..............or they tie.

OTB84 this has to be the most solid pick I have seen since the days of Jimmy the Greek.

4-1. Cov Cath. Cov is solid at home.

I am very interested in this game. Both teams like to possess and start their attack out of the back. CCH probably has the best midfield in nky, maybe even the state. If they can control possession and get NCC chasing, that could be a problem. I think NCC is a more physical team and they will try and use that to their advantage. Ultimately I think CCH is the better team and will win. NCC wants to spread the field to stretch the defense but they like to play down the center where CCH is very strong. I also think right now NCC is having a problem finishing, that could be the difference. I will say CCH 3 NCC 1.

I will go with CCH 2 NCC 0

I agree. NCC does like to play straight down the middle, I would be surprised if they get through it with the strength of Cov Cath's midfield. A definite win for Cov Cath.

Seen Ncc and don't think they can match the talent at Cov Cath this year....

Although they shouldn't have been able to in 11 when they surprised them.

I will call 3-0 Cc

Agree ... 80 minutes is a long time to play rope a dope ... finesse and better skilled players will prevail, despite a solid NCC defense and solid keeper ... CovCath 3-nil

I saw the game and thought hmmmmm : the colonels cane out like they had something to prove. They won every 50/50 ball and made Ncc defense chase them all over the field in the first half. Second half started with CC winning 2-0 and playing the same style soccer creating many opportunities to score. With about 22 minutes left Ncc scored off a throw in.( set pieces seem to be their bread and butter) with 20 seconds left and down 2-1 Ncc scores an own goal. Maybe the first Ncc goal in the run of play all year, according to the posts I've read.

All in all CC was the better team and deserved the win, Ncc has some work to do if they plan to get out of their district lol.....

That was not an own goal. Slight deflection is not an own goal.

That's the only good thing about kids who have Instagram. They tell you as soon as they get their first message from their boyfriend(CCH player) as he's walking off the field.
