Highlands 32 Covington Catholic 21

[CCHFC]

- Good for Highlands. I thought they were the better team and deserved the win. Their OL was much better than I expected and the difference in the game. Hopefully there is a little more back and forth in this game than what it had been the last 15 years or so. 

- Has to be frustrating to get 5 takeaways on defense and get beat. Not going to be that lucky next time the teams play, if it happens.

- Charlie Noon, really good player. Very dynamic with the ball in his hands.

I’ll post some more Cov Cath thoughts in a bit.

Wouldn’t that now mean CovCath would have to beat Frederick Douglas in round 2 to get the Birds again?!?

No idea.

Precisely. 
 

CovCath will get Great Crossing in Round 1, then have to travel to FD for Round 2.

And yet another reason why this is a HUGE Birds win!!! Now, handle business next week.

 

I’m headed to the Pub…..

Congrats Highlands. I didn’t get the final score right, but I was close with predicting Highlands would win by 10.

Congrats to Highlands I miss this one on a positive note this probably moves Douglass back to the top of the 5A RPI.

Coach, your hair looked phenomenal tonight.

It was a nightmare start for the Birds, and they still managed to win. That says something about both teams, IMO.

[Saab Buyer]

I'm so proud of this football team.

Congratulations to Highlands, it seemed to me that they have been playing better than the earlier part of the season. I hope they continue as they have or get better.
