Ugh...thanks.

Just curious, when was the last time somebody not named CovCath or Highlands won the district title? I'm thinking early 90's but the memory isn't what it used to be.

Nice win for CovCath. I figured there would be some hangover from last week's win and Dixie is physical team that gets after it. Both teams are solid and we may well see a rematch.

Butler is a heck of a football player, and has toughness to match the mental side.

I don't know Shelton's "tangibles" (size, 40 time, etc), but that kid is a D1 linebacker as far as instinct and toughness. Seems to love the game.

Between Butler and Shelton, the defense is in great hands. Butler is a freak of nature, great speed with his size, has played many positions, which IMO can only help in recruitment wise. Watching Kam read screens is really a beautiful thing, I want to say that is his 3rd or 4th interception of a screen this season and has return more than 1 for a touchdown. As for Shelton, he has been calling the defense since Soph year I believe. Led team in tackles a year ago and was one of, if not the top tackler in 5A last year, and is currently leading the team now by a big margin, Butler and Best probably not too far off.

 

Both Butler and Shelton are coaches on the field. From what I saw in Dixie game, Shelton called defense himself, rarely looking to the sideline. Pretty Impressive and definitely great for CCH to have such high football IQ on the field.

If Butler doesn't get D1 offers I will be shocked. He has the size, talent and on field football ability. Best player on CCH's team IMO.

Close score until the 4th when Cov Cath pulled away. I'm picking these teams to meet again in the 5A Quarter-Finals. I'm going with the same outcome though.
