No matter what happens with La Salle the rest of the season, there is no discounting this as anything other than a very impressive win for Covington Catholic.

 

CCH has to be the clear favorite to win state right? Even with this LaSalle team being overrated, they won’t see a more talented team will they?

I don't think La Salle is overrated. You mentioned the Moeller game. Moeller also had Cincinnati St. X. beat and let it slip away, losing 27-24. Is Cincinnati St. X. over rated too?

Fred Douglas is likely the main obstacle from here. Any given Friday... One game at a time.

This morning factoring in last night's games calpreps.com has Covington Catholic ranked #2 in the state behind Male and ahead of #3 Trinity.

 

Hypothetical matchups and rankings are tough to argue or defend, but thinking logically, it isn't hard to see why a computer would rank the top 3 in that order.

With AJ Maher and the offense going wild two years ago the defense wasn’t as appreciated. The D has made these three years possible.

Covington Catholic: 320 yards of offense

 

LaSalle: 114 yards of offense

 

LaSalle stats had it 359 - 187 in favor of the Colonels.

Well I guess we will see if LaSalle is overrated or not over the next 3 weeks. If they bounce back, they clearly aren’t.

It never hurts to have a 6’5 250LB MLB who outruns speed guys and intimidates teams that that they run NOTHING over the middle.
