Since the guy that wrote the article is from Fort Thomas, I am sure he made up the stats just to screw with YOUR brain.

One of the most pitiful stat-lines to read.......good lord!!!!

SK with another strong opponent. Paper Tiger. With Collins win last night, their opponents have exactly 1 win.

And that is not SK's fault!

Their schedule is changing next year, which is good for them. The schools they have played are smaller, but they are good teams. Do you remember when Newport Catholic used to beat teams like SK, Campbell County, and others consistently prior to changes being made? I think everyone knows that SK isn't Trinity, Scott County, etc. yet, but I really do believe they are the best of NKY now.
