Covington Catholic 8 Highlands 7

Ugh.

Wow! So close you can taste a win loss for Highlands. Maybe round 2 in playoffs.

Was it just me or did it look the Highlands player who recovered the fumble was on his knees at the 1 yard line and jumped into the end zone for the touchdown?

It was a fairly boring game that could have gone either way, hopefully there is a rematch in the playoffs. 

Congrats Colonels!

Most likely will play each other again in the first round based on how things look.

It should be the top game in the state in week one.

Painful to watch. What has happen to the programs this year???? Did the kids forgot how to play football. 

Not having D1 type talent makes a difference and a lot harder to be dominant each week without it. Still good teams though.

Yes, it sure looked that way.  The 2 pt conversion was also very close.  
 

…and, the left guard clearly jumped on H’s key 4th down conversion on their last drive.  The blocked FG rendered it academic.

Is what it is.  We have human beings officiating and we have a shortage.  Frankly, just glad we have zebras on the field.

That game set football back 40 years!!!

CCH will most probably win the district, which would set up Cooper vs Highlands in round 1.

Not if Highlands loses to Cooper next week.

Does that make Highlands the 4?

Would set up Highlands and Covcath in round one. Remember Conner beat Highlands already.

If so, let’s hope the play is more inspired.

Oh, he was.

That's Henry King with the white cleats...and the white cap and another official standing and looking at him while he kneels and grabs the football. He's the one who had the "touchdown" for Highlands in the 3Q.

But realistically, Highlands would have had Noon run a keeper in for the touchdown on the next play. He did that the entire second half.
