Region III Championship: Covington Holy Cross 26 NewCath 21

They said they were going to do it, but most people refused to believe it. Despite bold claims from Indian fans , many doubted that Holy Cross would flip a 21-0 loss, but the Indians utilized a physical running game to churn out 304 yards on the ground to end the Thoroughbreds reign of terror on Region III competition.

 

The Indians' dynamic duo of Abernathy and Barnes were sensational combining for the following stat line:

41 carries, 283 rushing yards, 2 Rushing TD's, 12 Solo Tackles, and a Pick 6.

 

The Indians held NewCath's HB's to a meager 4 total rushing yards, but it was a controversial call that left everyone talking in the wake. NewCath scored what appeared to be the game winning TD on a fumble recovery and score following a kickoff, yet the call on the field was that the knee was down on the recovering player thus negating the score.

 

 

Region IV Championship: Danville 34 LCA 28

 

In a game that lived up to the hype, Danville survived a gritty performance from LCA to avenge an "Instant Classic" regular season game and reach the Semi's for the 2nd consecutive season.

 

Perhaps the game's most critical play was one of it's earliest plays. LCA looked to set the tone early with a drive to the Admiral goal line, but a Pick 6 but the Ads "Mr. Versatility" Dmaurae VanCleave gave an instant 14-point swing. The Junior speedster was sensational, and his highlights had only began. He added a 99 yard kickoff return TD as well, and for good measure went off for a team high 8 Catches and a vital 115 yards receiving.

 

LCA would still churn up nearly 500 total yards behind bruising Dillon Wheatley and the sure handed WR Ryan Stucky, and the Eagles rebounded from a 2nd Half deficit to take a late lead. The Admirals though, as the Notebook predicted last week, turned to Senior QB Zach Dampier and the veteran gunslinger answered. Dampier led the Ads on one final drive that culminated with the eventual game deciding score.

 

Who Will Emerge In The East?

Danville Will Win If: The Ads can successfully swing for the fences. Region III was a lot of good things, but what they were not were a bunch of teams with elite level speed and athletes in the passing game. The Indians thrive best in a nasty game where every yard is hard to earn and they can win psychologically by battering you to death on Offense. The Admirals ability to take the top off the Defense in the passing game, or turn a routine 7 yard carry into a 70 yard carry, is ultimately their biggest advantage. Holy Cross has had issues defending the pass and Danville must take full advantage of this.

 

Holy Cross Will Win If: They keep this game in the 20's or below. If the Indians can force the Ads to drive and can successfully ground and pound Danville they will be tough to beat in the 4th Quarter when fatigue starts to set in. As good as Danville's skill guys are, they are not the physical specimens that Barnes and Abernathy are and they are not best suited for a cold night when oxygen comes over burning lungs and lactic acid.

 

Holy Cross needs to keep Danville's speed in front of them and tackle perfectly. On Offense the Indians have to keep the sticks moving, the clock running, and Zach Dampier's dangerous arm on the sideline as much as possible.

 

Who Will Win? Danville... never underestimate a Senior QB who knows how to win games. The Ads also bring those X-factors in Special teams that can change a scoreboard with "bonus" points. Holy Cross is going to make this one a war and are very capable of winning, but Danville has just a few too many scoring threats for a Defense that hasn't been stellar against passing teams.
