The Mud Bowl. Cov Cath came back to upset Highlands 41-35 in double-overtime in the quarterfinals. I remember at the time, we were told the game was the longest game in KHSAA playoff history in terms of duration on the actual clock.

 

Most of the field and sidelines had between 3" and 4" of very sloppy mud on them by the end of the game.

 

Halftime in the Covington Catholic locker room was something I won't forget for the rest of my life. Absolutely electrifying experience.

 

True story: My entire mom's side of the family was trying to plan a trip out of town for Thanksgiving that year. I remember when my dad agreed for our family to join, he said, "Well, I guess we can probably assume you won't have football practice to worry about with." I ended up staying home by myself for the weekend so I could make Thanksgiving Day practice and the Bell County semifinal game. I still remember smiling as I ate a bologna sandwich for my Thanksgiving dinner.

Footage of the full game.

 

This hit by Cov Cath safety Ryan Pfeiffer (not Timmy Woolf, as was stated by the TV announcer) was a game-changing moment for the Colonels.

 

They couldn't even buy you a Hungry Jack Frozen Turkey dinner?

:lol2: :lol2: ...nope.

 

I've had several people ask me that same thing over the years, but both of my parents will verify - they only left me packaged deli meat.

Great job.

A Classic!
