Should be close for whoever wins. I do believe that if there was a best time for Holy Cross to get its first win over Beechwood that it's now.

This game looks to me like it will be decided by how the Beechwood offense does against the Holy Cross defense. You have to score points to win games. I expect the Beechwood defense to do well enough to win. As always in tough games, big plays and turnovers will be huge.

Beechwood youth and speed on defense loses out to Holy Cross size and experience on offense. Holy Cross over Beechwood 32-13.

You stop Holy Cross running game the game is over. BW will destroy HC.

That may be sorta true. But do you think beechwood can stop Xavier Abernathy 6,0 230 and Derrick Barnes 6'1 240 running the ball? I personally don't think they can.

If they go both ways yes I think they stop themselves. I think they get gassed out in the second half. Holy cross has to build a nice lead in the first half if they want to win this one.

Where is the game being played? I heard earlier it might be at Boone County PeeWee football field.

game is Friday night at cov cath

Beechwood 17-0

This isn't the first time that HC has had more talent than Beechwood. However, Beechwood always makes the plays to win. I will take the Tigers in a close one. Good luck to both teams

If HC follows a power run game plan they will win by 2 td's. If not this will be a defensive battle with HC still winning a close one. BW is a well coached team and will not shoot themselves in the foot for the most part, so they have a chance to get the W if HC plays bad.

 

HC is bigger and faster than BW so coaching will be the key for BW and Rash is one of the best in NKY.

Two weeks in row for Beechwood to be playing on the same Covington Catholic field as the visitor.

Should be a really good game. Took the home team in the poll.

The poll is running dead even...

They didn't get many yards against Scott.

Xavier- 13 for 72 yards 1 TD

Derrick- 7 for 70 yards 1 TD

Holy cross total rushing 258

I mean not holy cross best running performance but they were also playing with a back up QB which still effects the running game also.
