South Warren 20 Covington Catholic 16 (5A State Championship)

[futurecoach]

Crazy, SW must be the real deal. Congrats SW! Great game plan to take down a really good team.

 

So much for those who said the 5A state championship took part 2 weeks ago against Highlands. South Warren showed they definitely are the real deal.

Anyone else think that taking that time out home is a huge mistake? I mentioned it in the updates thread.

Franklin's only loss came to the eventual 5A champs. I'll take it.

Nope having that timeout allowed them to use the whole field including the middle of the field on the last play of the game. They could have thrown for a first down am anywhere on the field because they would have still had that timeout to use.

What’s everyones thoughts on the fumble at the 2? Do you think it should of been blowed dead?

I totally understand that. IMO use it after the second down play when the clock was running. In high school football the clock stops on a first down anyways and they were inside the 30. Hurry and spike it. Just my opinion, hindsight is 20/20.

Told anybody that would listen that South Warren was scary good. This was the team that I dreaded CovCath playing all year. They were the better team most certainly today!

Congrats to the Warriors!

Clayton Bush is a ball player!

The reason I didn’t pick SW to win this game is because I noticed that the only beat winless Warren Central 39-22 back in week 2. Anyone know what happened in that game? Was SW missing key players or pethaps they had a big lead and put in subs late? Before I say SW is the best in the state, I would like a little context around this game?

Congratulations to South Warren, the new kings of 5A...

There’s a good clip of it on Twitter. I think it was right to let the play develop. On the clip I saw, it was obviously the Colonel O-line made the attempt to surge McGinnis in the end zone, thus allowing the fumble to occur.

South had a running clock early in the second quarter and the starters didn’t play again. Lacy also say that game out.

That game got ugly real quick. An early running clock meant that SW's starters saw no action in the second half. Warren Central scored on SW's second and third teamers.

However one call I thought that was clearly missed was Bush’s knee being down on what would have been the opening score for SW.
