1A #5 Newport Central Catholic at 2A #10 Newport Predictions/Updates

[Bac2369]

Who wins the battle of Newport? Both teams are ranked in there respective classes. Newport Central Catholic sits at 3-2 on the season. Newport is 5-0 on the season.

New Cath has played a way tougher schedule and will be ready for the Wildcats. Newport has the best team they've had in years and will be competitive but the Breds will be too much for them.

Most interesting game in NKY on Friday IMO. I plan to watch it, good luck to both teams.

When’s the last time Newport beat New Cath? If ever?

You can listen to this game on 859sportsradio.com!!! Can’t wait!!! I’m told the series is dominated by NCC at 39-11 and 1 tie. The last time Newport won was 1999. Wow 20 years and they have a legit shot to bring home the Fireman’s trophy. This rivalry started in 1965. I was 1 year old!! And there were three years where they didn’t play.

[859Radio]

See my post. It was 1999.

It depends on which NewCath team shows up. If the team that went down to Walton shows up they will lose. If the team that went to Campbell County shows up they will win. Newport has a legit shot.

The closest win since 1999 was in 2014 when NewCath won 22-17. Later that year NCC went on to win 42-26 in the playoffs. Most of the wins have been 2 scores or better since Newport's last win in 1999. 2002 was the only other close game I could find with NewCath winning 21-14.

 

Since 1999 NCC is 21-0 versus Newport with an average score of 41-12.

 

This series is always better when the games are closer.

Looking for Newport to remain undefeated. Should be a good game but the Wildcats are playing with a high confidence level and believing they “will” win instead of “hoping” to win.

I totally disagree... Newport is a better team than Campbell County. I say NCC wins this one, but if they play like they did against Campbell, they will lose. They didn't have that good of a game against Campbell IMO.

[Gremlin33]

A lot of hype about this Newport team but their schedule has been extremely week so far. NCC offense isn't that strong but I don't think Newport has been hit like they will be Friday. I like NCC by 10 points.

End of first quarter, no score.

9:24 in second quarter, NC 7 Newport 0.

[hrcarrier]

Newport drives to NC 2 and the Breds defense holds them, turnover on downs.
