Final.

A win is a win is a win....but there's plenty of work to do in the upcoming week to even hang with Walton Verona.

 

KCD scored with relative ease against Atherton. QB Jackson Diaz threw for four TDs, two to Senior TE Josh Lifson, who racked up nearly 125 yards receiving on just five catches. The Air Force commit also had three sacks in platoon work on defense.

 

The running game for the Bearcats also showed plenty of life, with senior Ashton Robinson carrying for two TDs and Junior Blake Caldwell putting in a nice 20+ yard run for a score.

 

The game was over in many respects by halftime with the score 35 to 6. Running clock by the beginning of the 4th quarter.

 

So what's the problem?!!! The special teams, especially Kickoff coverage was spotty at best, mental errors and poor lane coverage led to one TD return for Atherton and another return for huge yardage down to the KCD five yard line. Without those two returns, this is a 49 to 7 final.

 

Several other concerns--silly penalties on the Bearcats for tackling players out of bounds led to two big flags. And the depth just isn't there. The younger kids gave up a late score and looked a little confused and overwhelmed when they entered in the 4th quarter.

 

A win is a win is a win....but the Walton Verona train chugs powerfully into Louisville next Friday. KCD had best have a good week of practice.
