What no discussion on the game everyone in the 9th has been wanting to see? Who wins this game and makes a run at a state championship? Mods please add a poll.

Toss up. CovCath will probably win.

Two great teams and one will be staying at home. Nothing personal here at all, but I wouldn`t mind seeing Cooper get over this hump one time just to see how far they could go. I think either team could cause a lot of damage in the sweet 16 and will represent the 9th region well.

Great matchup, two very quick, athletic teams. Both have 3 legitimate scores and a supporting cast that understand their roles. Good coaching, good fans, about everything you can ask for in a final.

CCH by 5 in a game much closer then the final score.

Are both teams 100%? Last time they met was a great game, but both teams were missing huge contributors.

Both at full strength - this is the game we've been waiting for.

I predict an all out chess match between these two coaches.

Yes.

No surprise it's these two teams. Two teams that focus first on D but also can score. Nice combo. You cannot focus on any one player on either team. You better be good at Help D. You better close out well on shooters. You better rebound.

 

I'm looking forward to this one just to see strategies employed by both staffs.

2 terrific teams, been 1 & 2 all season, both teams play good defense, and both teams have multiple scoring options. It's going to be a battle all night, especially with both teams healthy. I think Cov Cath gets the W in this one though and makes it to their 3rd Sweet Sixteen in 5 years, and expect them to make a run down State. Cov Cath by a possession or 2.

I'm going Cooper by 3 with McNeil being the difference maker in this one. I'm also intrigued by the strategy. If Walters is in does Cooper try and run him up and down the court and how will each team play the other teams top 2? Who guards CVH and Frederick and vice Vera's who guards McNeil and Kunkel.

 

To me this game could come down to who plays better between Chris McNeil and Aiden Rusthatz.
