Colonels win big after taking two losses from the Cru last year.

 

 

Respect to St. Henry for keeping CCH on the schedule.

St. Henry graduated TEN seniors this past May and came back with only two seniors this year.

Exactly what I thought.

Ouch.

Looks like Cov Cath delivered some double revenge.

St. Henry with a lot of new faces. Team is still settling into new roles, but never stopped competing. They will get better as the season moves on and people get playing time.

I would expect nothing less from a Coach Faust' team.  

Double Ouch!  That's a tough 60 Burger to swallow!!!!

Math is hard.

St. Henry that down or just young?

Number 2 in the state, Covington Catholic only lost a couple of key players from last year’s team to graduation, while St. Henry lost 10 seniors, and many key players. 

One team is essentially the same team as they were last season, and one team is not. 

One team is full of highly experienced varsity players, and one team is not. 

With all of that said, I’m not sure why anyone would be surprised by this margin of victory, or even consider this much of a revenge match considering that the Colonels weren’t even playing against the same guys as they were last season. Sure they lost to St. Henry twice last season, but that was last season, and this season offers quite a different set of circumstances. 

Regarding St. Henry’s strength, they do have some nice players, and an exceptional coach in David Faust. As the season progresses I expect them to be competitive with nearly every team in the 9th Region not named Covington Catholic. Highlands and Dixe will probably have their number as well. Outside of that I expect St. Henry to have a fairly decent season while they’re in the process of rebuilding.

And only one who played at all last year.

They are playing mostly Juniors. Unfortunately for them they have never played Varsity before and ran into a buzz saw. This game was over during warmups. 

This was about the score we all predicted after last year. People forget last year's CRU class was probably the best in school history, and they knew they had to clip CCH last year or who knows when. Good to see them at the game last night supporting their boys.

St. Henry will be a Top 3 team next year, but lets hope they don't have to play CCH again in the Regionals.
