First Colonels' game with McNick without Timmy Griffin in several years, too.  Coincidence?  😎

Griffin was a heck of a player for McNick. I am unsure the level of quality McNick has this year but it is a good result for CovCath regardless. Thursday is shaping up to be a fun battle.

If a team is only as good as its best player it's not a team. High Schools lose players every year. That's the nature of the beast. CCH didn't play a stellar match but it was simply much better than McNick's. It was also apparently better than their last, and the one before that. What that means for the remainder of their season is anyone's guess but saying that a team lost because they didn't have one player on the pitch does a disservice to both teams. IMHO
