Take it easy, that is not the team they are thinking of.

[macdon]

Surely not.

[katbird]

Grant County?

:lol: :lol: :lol:

[Theoldguy]

Surely not.

 

Let's see they are located in Campbell County, but are north of Campbell County High School. They are South of the City of Newport and Newport Public High School, and many years ago that they used to have a Catholic High School in their Town, and the former Basketball of the Catholic High School coached prior to coaching at their school and then on to NKU.... They have won more State Championship in Soccer by their girls team than any other girls soccer team in NKy and their best basketball player ever, at least I think so, was a girl.... Any better idea now.... :D

Back to the CovCath/BG game:

 

 

From the Bowling Green Daily News:

 

‘D' Reloaded: Bowling Green defense still stout despite replacing six starters

 

On paper, the Bowling Green defense may not appear as dominant as last year's.

 

They're not as big or experienced and they haven't put up the same jaw-dropping numbers. Luckily for the Purples, none of the games this season have been played on paper.

 

As Bowling Green prepares for its Class 3A state championship game against Covington Catholic on Friday at Papa John's Cardinal Stadium, it's doing so with a new identity on defense. With six starters gone from last season, the Purples have new personnel and a new style.

 

“I think we're a different style of defense because of our size,” Bowling Green defensive coordinator Jeff Griffith said. “We're smaller, but we're doing a lot more slanting and moving to take advantage of our quickness. Last year, we were just bigger and stronger than a lot of teams, especially up front.”

How "small" are the d linemen for BG? That could be a big problem if they can't stop the CovCath running game.

There is going to be a pre-game CCH gathering in the Red lot on Friday. I'm guessing it will start at 5:30 or 6:00.

They average 5'6 and 150 lbs, but, really quick.... :D

They better be really quick then. :lol:

[macdon]

Just a guess but average weight around 235-240. About 5'11".

 

Remember you have Hines in there sometimes.

 

The DL has some speed but the linebackers are very fast.
