This could be one of the more intriguing games across the state this weekend. Who wins?

My heart likes Cov. Cath. My brain says Scott County.

Scott County won last year in Georgetown by a score of 56-35.

 

Here are the stats: Covington Catholic vs. Scott County (Oct 30, 2015)

 

While CovCath had success on offense, it wasn't pretty on defense. The Cardinals rushed for 352 yards on 54 attempts, an average of 6.5 yards per carry.

 

If CovCath can at least slow SC's rushing attack, it should make for a competitive game.

How about a poll?

This should be very competitive. Looking at common opponents, I would think it would be high scoring. I am taking the Colonels in this one

I'm a little surprised that people think this will be close. If Scott County is legitimately the 3rd or 4th best 6A team in KY, this game shouldn't be all that close.

 

IF CovCath can play toe-to-toe, or even somehow get a win, that would certainly change my (and several others) expectations for the post-season.

I think the last game was closer than the score indicates. I think CCH is playing better. Not sure how this years Scott Co compares to last years. Plus home for CCH. If CCH keeps mistakes down and or Scott Co makes a few....

Scott County 45 - Cov Cath 35. I hope both squads come out of the game healthy.

I wouldn't be surprised if CCH wins. Highlands played well against SC. So it wouldn't be a shock to see CCH win this game. As far as changing expectations on the post season it doesn't matter. Bowing Green is a HUGE hurdle for CCH. I just don't see them beating them. Hope they do but just don't see it.

Exactly Big Blue. If they struggled with Highlands, they will struggle with CovCath. No one in 5A is going to beat Bowling Green, but Scott Co wouldn't beat Bowling Green either

I agree they struggled with HHS, but they also gave Elder all they could handle. That's why I'm still torn.

 

I hope Cov Cath gets the win, but also agree with the other poster that if it's close, I'll look at SC differently. Just think this game can go a long way in determine if Scott Co is for real or not. And if they are, then Cov Cath is really good.

Was it closer than the total yards indicate too? SC out gained CovCath 468 - 331 last year.

CovCath will give them a good game but I still think Scott Co wins by 2 TDs.

 

Cardinals 48

Colonels 34

 

The Birds played the Cardinals pretty close but they also played one of their best games of the year that night if you can believe that.

Yes. 137 yards out of 800. A couple dropped balls aside and it's even.

I don't think this will be close. I think the final score is Scott County by 3 scores unless they decide to rest people for the playoffs.
