Last year Owensboro Catholic ran away with the season opener between crosstown foes. It was 42 to 6 in favor of the Aces when it was all said and done. I would be hard pressed to say this year's version would be any different. The O'Cath defense should run the show from the beginning. On the offensive side of the ball, this should be Brady Atwell's chance to shake off the rust on both the ground and in the air. This presents a great opportunity to test out his receiving options as he lost his primary target in William Carrico to graduation.

I expect this year's version of the Apollo Eagles to be much improved with Sophomore QB Max Johnson emerging as a top tier QB.  He took some lumps as a freshman behind an offensive line that never found their grove.  Coach Edge will be calling the offense this season and I expect he will help take some pressure off the OL.  Apollo is solid at the skill spots with Eli Williams, Landon Bratcher, Niles Board (Out this week), Caiden Tutt and John Milburn.  They will need to sustain drives in order to avoid being ran off the field tonight.  The defense was a bit underrated last season, but was put in bad spots by an offense that couldn't stay on the field.  The Eagles play a brutal schedule, but by district time, I think they could compete for a home playoff game.

All of that said, the Aces are heavy favorites in this one.  Their big play offense will be hard for the Eagles to keep up with.  Brady Atwell will have some new pass catchers in the mix this season, but I do not expect a drop off in his production.  As long as Catholic plays clean and does not turn the ball over, I expect they win this one going away.

Owensboro Catholic 49 - Apollo 28

Catholic 55-7 

 

Catholic is on a mission.  I think Edge is a great coach at Apollo so I'm sure he would love to make this game competitive and hang in close for a possible win.  That would shock the world.  Brady Atwell, Carrico - Aces have the horses and one of the best QB's in the state.

28-0 OCath with 8:34 to go in the 2nd 

36-0 6:00 left in 2nd.
