Both side of the field were lite last night for the first time at around 9 PM.

Back in the memory bank:

 

I can remember that first game at Holmes HS and walking onto the field under the lights and thinking I hate that I am not allowed to play but gee it's great that we finally have a team, no more cheering at Basketball games about us not having a Football team and WOW what a crowd and it's so loud and the guys are having a blast in the stands and the girls WOW. It was just last week wasn't it and it couldn't be 50 years ago could it?

From December 20, 1974.

Coach Eviston was hired as Covington Catholic's 9th head football coach in 2015. He came to Cov Cath from Georgetown College, having served as the Tiger's offensive coordinator.

Fifty years after starting the varsity football program...two years and a month after releasing this video to officially kickoff the public appeal for donations to raise funds for the stadium lights, and today is the day Cov Cath has their first varsity football contest at home under permanent lights.
