I don't think enough has changed from the first game to influence the outcome of this game. Both teams may capitalize better on their offensive opportunities than the first game but you will see a similar result. NCC 35-14

So numbers do not lie, but you can make them talk however you like.

The winner of this one comes down to which NewCath team shows up vs. which Holy Cross team shows up.

How about the Maxpreps strength of schedule numbers. ..... NCC 14.3 and Holy Cross 0.1, yes I said 0.1

Man, if only Mayfield fans hadn't stopped caring about the East side of the bracket that would have gotten a ton of interesting responses.

"Talent" not better team... there's a difference

The winner of this one comes down to which NewCath team shows up vs. which Holy Cross team shows up.

100% correct

The winner of this one comes down to which NewCath team shows up vs. which Holy Cross team shows up.

 

THIS. Neither team is all that consistent. Is HC the 44-0 team vs Walton or the 13-10 team vs Walton? Is NCC the team that had Lloyd down 28-0 thru 3 1/2 quarters or the one that lost the last 9 minutes 18-0? Or the one that jumped on Lloyd 21-0 and never looked back last week?

 

One problem I see with HC is that they need to keep the Big Two on the field on Defense and that tends to eventually hurt the offense. If they had any depth and could just load up the backfield and give each 15-20 carries a game on Offense only they would really have something. But I don't think they could stop the other team and would have to win a 42-38 shootout.

 

On the other hand NCC does not have the star power but is certainly a lot deeper. So they need to keep it a boring game like last time and just wear HC down.

Hc has the best 11 in 2A talent wise......

 

HC does not have the most talented 11 in 2A. I am not sure they have the most talented 2 players in 2A.

"Talent" not better team... there's a difference

 

I know what you mean, but they are barking about their talent this year.

HC does not have the most talented 11 in 2A. I am not sure they have the most talented 2 players in 2A.

Let's just Agree to disagree and see who is the better 2A team tomorrow.

I think HC will win 22-21

Let's just Agree to disagree and see who is the better 2A team tomorrow.

I think HC will win 22-21

 

If Holy Cross wins by 3 TD's tomorrow, they still are not the most talented 11 in 2A.

Let's just Agree to disagree and see who is the better 2A team tomorrow.

I think HC will win 22-21

 

 

Something tells me that if Holy Cross losses tomorrow night, that you'll still be trying to sell the fact that you think they're the best 11 players or best 2A team.
