#1 Covington Catholic at #4 South Oldham (5A Quarterfinal)

[Voice of Reason]

The way CCH is destroying everyone this year, it reminds me of some of the dominant HHS teams when we get to this point in the season wondering, "what will happen if the players actually play a close game. Will they be able to handle pressure in the 4th quarter when the game is not over?". That is really the only question left for this CCH team. They will win easily next week but what I am interested in is how they will play against BG, who is used to playing big games and will most likely not be intimidated. I still think CCH gets it done but that is what I am looking forward to seeing play out.

 

No worries for Cov Cath. AJ Mayer is in control.

I tend to agree with you but HHS fans remember Jared Lorenzen in control his junior year (mud bowl playoff game)....

[Bluesport]

CovCath finally plays a decent team.

 

Chatard and DeSales would have mopped the floor with any NKY team this year...including Ryle. SK has played one decent team...and oh yeah, got ran over by them. That reminds me-that decent team that ran over SK known as Ryle was mauled by CCH. Stop hijacking CCH threads with your insecurities and realization that CCH would running clock SK early in the 2nd quarter.

Running clock........again!

De Sales was 14-7 at half. Kings was two possession game late. But they have not faced great pressure.

South Oldham may challenge a little early on but look for the Colonels to have it wrapped up probably before halftime.

Well, there's hijacking. Then there's choosing to board the "Crazy Train," after it's been hijacked. He just punched your ticket.

 

:lol2: *Light Bulb Moment* - I'm the baggage in this scenario. :sneaky:

By saying that, you lessen SK, which was destroyed by a team that does not meet the "decent" standard.

What are some of South Oldham’s strengths?

Yes he did...back to CCH/SO

[John Anthony]

49-14 Colonels.

Very run heavy against Highlands:

That lines up with their KHSAA reported stats:

Keaton Martin would seem to be a player the Colonels need to aware of at all times.

I'm looking forward to broadcasting this one. Haven't seen CovCath since around 2005-6 when the Oldham schools were in the same district as CovCath, so it's been a LONG time.

 

I have read so much about this CovCath team, I'm really looking forward to the game.

 

Since both teams have been remarkably successful, the practice of comparing scores vs. common opponents really doesn't tell much (not that it ever really does....there's a lot of reasons why)....

 

Looking forward to Friday night! (and hoping it's a little WARMER than last night's game! We had to pry our cameraman from the camera with a crowbar after the game....he should be mostly recovered from his frostbite by Friday, though! :lol2: )

Colonels jump out early against South Oldham and they won't know what happened. Coach Brown defense impressive all year will smother South Oldham. CovCath wins by 40

Completely agree that looking common opponents scores is a fools game...

 

But the Highlands scores are a sore thumb, to say the least.
