5A #2 Covington Catholic vs. LaSalle (OH) Predictions/Updates

[colonel-fan]

LaSalle is #3 but that is also in Division 2 in Ohio. To say they are #3 in Ohio is not correct. They are no Elder or St X.

 

If this is directed at my post, nowhere does it read LaSalle is #3 in Ohio.

 

CalPreps has them #9 overall (all classes) in Ohio and #3 in Cincinnati.

You know what you’re correct. That’s my mistake.

Pulling for Cov Cath selfishly for RPI purposes.

 

Glad to hear it and I pull for all Kentucky teams when they play out of state teams, it is a Kentucky thing for me. :thumb:

LaSalle has two Buckeyes on the roster. I love this game for Covcath, it’s the only thing that stands in the way of perfection for the season.

This is going to be a tough one, no doubt. Cov Cath is going to be fighting to keep a regular season 27-game win streak intact, as well as fighting to conclude their 3rd straight undefeated season on their home turf.

 

These two teams played for the first time in 1970 and have played 9 times total, with the series record standing at 8-1 in LaSalle's favor. Their 2001 win over LaSalle was one of two wins that Cov Cath has ever had over GCL South teams, with the other coming against Moeller in 1992.

 

1970: LaSalle 42 Cov Cath 6

1971: LaSalle 28 Cov Cath 12

2001: Cov Cath 41 LaSalle 7

2004: LaSalle 27 Cov Cath 17

2007: LaSalle 34 Cov Cath 7

2009: LaSalle 44 Cov Cath 35

2010: LaSalle 50 Cov Cath 7

2011: LaSalle 41 Cov Cath 10

2012: LaSalle 27 Cov Cath 11

Good Luck to Covington Catholic.

CalPreps ranks LaSalle ahead of Male and Trinity, so the Lancers would be the #1 team in Kentucky.

 

This will be an excellent chance to see how CovCath stacks up with the overall #9 team in Ohio and #3 team in Cincinnati.

 

If CovCath can win the turnover battle, they should be able to hang around.

 

LaSalle has turned over on fumbles once and has been intercepted once in their 6 games. Their defense has 9 interceptions, 0 forced fumbles, and 3 fumble recoveries.

 

Cov Cath has been intercepted 3 times (twice by Ryle, once by Dixie) and turned over on fumbled at least 3 times (twice against Lex Cath and once against Beechwood). I think they have fumbled and recovered it themselves another 2 or 3 times if memory serves. The Cov Cath defense has 2 forced fumbles and 2 fumble recoveries, and they have 10 interceptions in their 7 games.

 

I believe DE John Lawrie is expected back from his shoulder injury for the game, but there are a lot of other injuries that have had players sidelined in recent weeks. I think I read somewhere on here that we started out with 17 guys out due to injury against Cooper. Boydston went out with a leg injury in the game. I don't know if we'll have Schwartz or Roedig back at all. A few key backups are out too. I sure hope we get past this week without any additional injuries - that's my A#1 concern.

In years before Eddie there were some good CCH teams really hit with the injury bug. That has been mostly avoided these last two years. Hope they stay healthier.

Saw somewhere where LaSalle has 6 kids on the roster with D1 offers. What can you tell us about them?

[Bluesport]

Cal Preps projects it LaSalle 35 Cov Cath 19.

 

Objectively speaking, I don’t think my Colonels can do that but that would show us all a lot about them this week. LaSalle is STACKED.

They just ran through Moeller who in the previous week narrowly lost to St.X.
