How good is Covington Catholic?

[JDEaston]

Cov Cath is still slow and lacks dynamic athletes on offense. They have a great QB. They won't beat BG, but are a Top 5-7 team in the state.

 

The bolded is a joke, right?

Interesting observations. How many points do you think BG would beat them by if they played next week?

 

I don't know about next week, but ask me again in 12 more weeks when they do play.

What observation leads you to believe they are "slow"?

Early in season Blue Boys, congrats on win tonight.

No. I've seen them play. They don't run by you. Having a great QB really helps cover up a lot.

Who has Covcath played that made u think they look slow?

I guess we find out next game they play Kings.

 

Honestly I think we have already found out. Cov Cath is for real. They were good last year, this year they are more improved. Personally I believe they are the best team in NKY as well as Class 5A. Where they rank in the state remains to be seen but at the moment it would be hard to imagine more than half a handful of better teams.

Covington Catholic 42 Bowling Green 20

 

And that doesn't factor in tonight's scores which will help Covington Catholic's rating even more.

 

I punched in the top teams in the state and Trinity is the only one projected to beat Covington Catholic. CCH wins over Male, St. X, Scott County, BG ... is there anyone else in the state that might be better?

What observation leads you to believe they are "slow"?

 

My eyes when I watch them play. You guys don't have to agree. We'll see where they wind up in the end. I just don't feel like they've beaten any good teams yet.

So why play the rest of the season then? Seems like Cal Preps already has everything decided for us.

Is the defense slow as well?

You might want to see an eye doctor if you think they are "slow". Do they have any burners? No, but I wouldn't call them overall slow as a team. They also spanked Lex Cath who just shutout Lafayette.

Is the defense slow as well?

 

Maybe. They gave up a 70 yard run and catch to a guy that runs a 4.7 40 week 1 and no one was close to catching him. They haven't really played anyone with a ton of speed. They may blow out their next two opponents and change my mind.

 

Also, you guys need to relax. I said they're the second best team in 5A and don't have a ton of team speed. They got run out of the playoffs last year by a team they couldn't keep up with athletically. It's a long season and we'll see what happens.

State title or state runner up.

Totally agree. Great point.
