it does sound as if the 1a championship will run thru titletown this year, but you can never count out the beechies or more recently, the thoroughbreds. It would be interesting to add another nky 1a team to the state champ picture. It would get the downstate boys in a uproar over another nky school in perennial contention for a 1a championship. with all that being said, i still think HC is still a few years away from being considered a legit contender year in and year out. i'll go with pretender until proved otherwise!

 

HC is a far cry from a perennial contender and with their move to 2A next season I doubt they will make very much noise at that level anytime soon.

you might be right DeepThreat05, but if HC can manage to have a few good years were they knock off a Beechwood and a NCC, they could very well turn a few heads away from the Covcaths and the Beechwoods. A few good players go there and then your talking about them being a very good ball team. It only takes a handfull of really good players and some very good roll players to be consistently good on the 1a and 2a levels, especially after next year when all the classes get watered down across the board. I know some people like this new classification system, but it will get watered down.

Who will be in HC's 2A district next year? I keep hearing how they won't be able to compete. NCC will always be tough, Newport will be good as well, but Lloyd looks to be moving in the wrong direction, and those are the only teams I know. HC has beaten NCC this year and beat Newport on all 3 levels (varsity was just a scrimmage) . They are not NCC or Beechwood their program is only 8 years old those are urealistic goals for a program with such a short life. With that, they certainly look like they are moving in that direction, their entire program's record at this point is 13-2. As for contender or pretender time will only tell, but it doesn't look like they are going to get run over by any one in NKY 1A this year.

:thumb: Exactly, this year..and they should enjoy it for now. Worry about 2A next year..

Holy Cross has been slowly and steadily building a great football program over the years. The scoreboard does their talking for them. Definately a contender!:ylsuper:

Holy Cross has to be considered a contender. They are a senior laden team and are big up front. Anyone who thinks they can't contend is sadly mistaken.

I guess we will find out when the playoffs come....
