History says that Cov Cath will be strong again very soon. They are among only a handful of teams in the state whose program is always held in high regard in football. A small handful of teams.

Their last state title was 10 years ago. Since, they have run through coaches like a bad small county program. They have a fascinating love/hate of themselves on this board. They have been completely owned by the one team that they can't allow that to happen. I have no problem saying that they're still a proud traditional program with a rich history, but I also still maintain that they're not a top 10 program until they win more than 1 of 9 against teams with winning records. Ryle will no doubt have a winning record this year...and true to form, Cov. Cath. lost to them.

They've had a few down years, true. That said, Cov Cath has 6 state titles to hang their hats on compared to none for Ryle, and there is no real shot at that changing anytime soon. So even with their recent struggles Cov Cath is a very well respected football school in Kentucky and Ryle, even with their recent success, is still trying to become one.

Don't think W.E. Raider is a Ryle fan. Probably a fan of the Warren East Raiders.

He mentioned Ryle in his previous post, that is why I assume he is a fan.
