5A #1 Covington Catholic vs. #9 Highlands

[Guest]

Birds in the upset! Veneman has a huge game.

 

That would be killer! Who will be guarding Venneman? I know Cov Cath has a really good D, is there any weaknesses?

[MBKT]

Colonels drop the hammer on Highlands 41-17.

[oldoc]

Yep, since SK barely beat the Birds, Covcath has no shot. Birds will hang 100

[Theoldguy]

Highlands has shown the last couple years to be the team to beat in NKY, I like in this game.

Oh, I'm sorry, I thought this was a Baseball thread, then give me CCH by 28.

 

Baseball? CovCath was 3-0 vs. Highlands last season......29-5

CovCath 42-14.

[Foghorn Leghorn]

Looks like those 3 Ws got CovCath prepared to lose in the first round of the regional tournament again.

Sharpest post of the year.

Then again, remind me how many Boys State Championship Highlands has won in Baseball, Basketball or Soccer?

[GottaLuvFootball]

Back to football. 42-14 CCHS

Do we want to get into a state championships comparison?

[Don't_Hate_the_Playa]

Does the scoreboard go out to 3 digits? Cov Cath could put 100 up.

[Daddy Mac]

This game is really tricky to predict for me. On paper the Colonels should be something like a 28 point favorite judging by stats and similar oppenents.

 

I am hoping the rivalry factor + Huddy + the offense hitting on all cylinders + health might shrink the paper gap. If Cov Cath does not play their A game and Highlands gets the ball the bounce their way a few times this one could be interesting.

 

Highlands defensive weakness has been run defense up till now and they have faced running backs better than McGuinness. Now they have Huddy and I really believe that is a huge difference after watching him play last week. Birds pass defense is actually pretty good.

 

I think a really big factor could be what Cov Cath's pass defense is like, and who will be on Venneman.

 

Sadly my score prediction is this:

Highlands 24

Cov Cath 42

The game is surprisingly close for a couple quarters and then the Colonels pull away and have too many weapons.

 

You better go back and see what McGinness does to Highlands. Best Running Back they have and will see all year.

[Samcro]

Do we want to get into a state championships comparison?

 

Let's get into a 2017 comparison. Unless they award each team a point for state titles before kickoff, history is irrelevant.

[Bluesport]

A lot of the same cast of characters for CCH's offense who put 63 on the Birds last year.

[GottaLuvFootball]

CovCath has Casey, and Dyer and Shrieber are heavier bruising backs to complement Casey. AJ is pretty good running too. I think several teams came in thinking CCH wasn't as good as their record, and then the game happened....
