Yes, 3 hour practices on Sunday.

Last two they practiced. This week cause short week Thur game

No downtime for the body to recover.

CCH has ball 1st down with minute and a half to go. OH had no time outs left. They hand off and run three times. Made no sense at all. Flashback to Bengals Steelers. Take the knee. Way it was going if CCH fumbles OH had a good shot to score and tie

Another one for Ky. Great job CCH

covcath special teams came up huge tonight

Oak Hills QB Woycke ended up 22 of 34 for 408 yards and 5 TDs passing.

 

Oak Hills with 548 yards total offense.

350 all purpose yards and 3 TDs.

 

Cov Cath with 478 yards total offense.

 

AJ Mayer went 19 for 28 with 286 yards and 4 TDs passing.

Oak Hills scored 35 points in the 4th quarter.

 

Seems like having fewer players going both ways could have prevented a bit of that for the Colonels.

Mayer passed for 286 yards 4 tds and ran for 81 yards 1 td.

Some of those passes resulted from the QB scrambling for a long time and no defense backfield can cover forever.

Good job CCH.

Congrats blueboys!

Depends on how good the backups are. But, no doubt, depth needs to get better for CovCath.

From the Cincy Enquirer:

 

CovCath holds off Oak Hills in shootout

 

There was only one Ohio-Kentucky matchup on the billing for the 19th annual Skyline Chili Crosstown Showdown, and Covington Catholic won it in a shootout over Oak Hills, 56-48, Thursday night in the first-ever Showdown game played at Mount St. Joseph University’s Schueler Field.

 

A lackluster first quarter was all the motivation CovCath needed to avoid a 0-2 start to its season, behind the balanced attack of junior quarterback A.J. Mayer and sophomore running back Casey McGinness, who each finished the night with ridiculous numbers.

 

McGinness had 350 all-purpose yards and three touchdowns, while Mayer rushed for 81 yards and threw for 286 with five total touchdowns.

 

“It was good … both teams fought hard,” said CovCath coach Eddie Eviston. “You don’t ever want to start the season 0-2. We made big plays when we had to.”
