I'd like to see St. X add them to the schedule. I know we played them before.

CovCath is 0-6 lifetime against SFD?

 

Sounds like the perfect game every year for CovCath.

If I was advising CovCath, I wouldn't go there yet unless there was no other choice.

This sort of thing happened to Highlands during their peak years under Mueller, correct? There weren't many (any?) non-district NKY schools on the Birds schedule during those years. So there is a precedent for it?

 

Edit: And by "it" I mean, NKY schools that didn't have to play Highlands taking their ball and going home.

 

I don't fault any school for not playing a team they can't compete with.

 

On tangent, I really miss Highlands playing Elder.

I don't want to make this thread about Simon Kenton, but I think the Neers would do just the opposite, they would run away from scheduling a stronger CCH team.

 

Yea right!

No thread jack intended, but I want to hear you say that when the next discussion of classification in other sports comes up.

 

To the topic at hand, I believe there will always be two or three teams that will relish the challenge and will readily schedule CCH. How many more locals do you need for non-conference when you WANT to bring in the SFD's and Chatards for at least a game or two? Honestly, non-issue in my mind.

I've said it many times about scheduling. It's a two way street. How many NKY teams will Cov Cath want to play?? They don't have many now and it seems like they've always played teams from out of area outside of a few here and there like Beechwood and Ryle. Cov Cath has to want to play teams from NKY before those teams can say no to them.

I am in the same line of thinking as @rjs4470 , other than maybe a rivalry game between Cov Cath and another NKY team why would they want to play teams they are going to blow out. It is not all that fun when your playmakers sit the bench for the second half of most games.

I’d like to see CovCath schedule a game vs. an Eastern Kentucky power like Belfry, Johnson Central, etc. I know it’s far away but we’d all enjoy it I’m sure.

 

Maybe they could schedule Moeller or Elder at the Pit. (I have no clue how big those schools are or how good they are)

 

But if I was a NKY school and I knew I wouldn’t beat CovCath, I would not play them. There are much better options out there then getting smacked by CovCath.

Didn't something like this happen with Lexington Catholic in hoops a few years back?

It has been my experience that competitors want to see how they measure up against the best. The whole "we're not good enough so let's schedule down" mentality mystifies me.

If I am a 6A school serious about making a state run and most NKY 6A's should be serious about advancing far in the state, I would play them in a heart beat. You have to know where you stand to be as competitive as you can. I am not sure they would blow them out every year, they haven't yet every year.

 

I would not run from them and I don't think any 6A's in NKY would.

95% of the schools already know how they measure up against the best. They don't need a running clock beatdown to find that out. Beat downs aren't good for your program or community interest. As you get better, you schedule better. Some years are going to be easier than others as all teams go through cycles.

Also are we not getting a little premature with this thread? They have an amazing team this year led by an all star QB.

 

Lets let them get a few years of success (meaning state championships) under the belt before we start crowning kings.

This will happen...... Your assumption is correct. Just like in highlands when they were destroying all NKY opponents!
