Big one in Park Hills tonight. I believe Campbell is undefeated and CovCath has 1 loss.

I'm thinking of heading there tonight.  Is Dylan Courtney CCH's QB or is he still injured?

Believe he is still injured.

Campbell County beat Beechwood 14-12 in Week 1, lost 21-14 to Harrison (OH) in Week 2, beat Conner 22-12 in Week 3, and beat Cooper 36-14 in Week 4.

Cov Cath lost 34-19 to Highlands in Week 1, beat Ryle 20-7 in Week 2, beat Simon Kenton 41-22 in Week 3, and beat Beechwood 27-6 in Week 4.

Evan Link was in at quarterback tonight.

I haven't watched any freshman football this season for Cov Cath thus far, but he looked REALLY good. Was Courtney starting over Link earlier in the season? Because tonight Link quite frankly looked like exactly the kind of quarterback Coach Eviston loves...tall, great arm, and runs the ball well. There were several times over that I felt like I could have been watching AJ Mayer, Caleb Jacob, or Evan Pitzer tonight rather than Link. I linked a Twitter video of one pass he had in the second half that just...wow.

I watched most of the Highlands game and Courtney looked pretty good. A lefty that can move and had a pretty solid arm. I thought if we had to start him as a junior, we’d be in pretty good shape.

Both are really good freshman football players.  Link is bigger and definitely stronger at this age, but may not have much growing left in him.  Courtney has more athleticism and likely has a bit of growing to do still.   Don’t think you can go wrong either way. 
 

If you are thinking they could play as a junior, what does that mean for Queen? He’d be a senior when they are juniors.

I don’t think either of these guys would beat out a year older Emmett Queen. I think Queen will be a very good player (his arm is already very good), but with the way the QB market goes, I’m not positive he’s going to be on the 26 roster if Cash Harney holds down the job through next spring. 

No inside info, but just being realistic about things for QB first athletes that want to see the field and get recruited.

I totally agree, both are really fine athletic players, either of who will be ready by their Junior years.  Is Link getting any JV QB reps? 
 

Not sure what the Queen plan will be? Would he be content just starting his Sr. Year? Will he just take his UK offer, commit and stay put? If he transfers, which school has a starting QB role next year?

Beechwood will need a qb and have plenty of offensive weapons returning … but will also need an offensive line. 

Beechwood 28-8 over Dixie. Boone's freshmore team played Ryle on Tuesday evening and lost 35-12.

Cooper put one in the W column with a 28-12 win over Conner.

Not gonna lie, based on Cov Cath's 41-22 win over Simon Kenton and Highlands' 33-19 win over Cov Cath back in Week 1, I was expecting to see Highlands beat Simon Kenton by a decent bit more than 17 points.

5 weeks into the 9 week regular season:

Highlands (4-1)
Covington Catholic (4-1)
Campbell County (3-2)
Ryle (3-2)
Simon Kenton (3-2)
Beechwood (2-3)
Cooper (1-4)
Conner (1-4)
Dixie Heights (1-4)
