Another big week of games in week 6.  

Tuesday

Boone County @ Dixie Heights - Dixie has been on a roll, I see them winning this game.

Covington Catholic @ Newport Central Catholic - The bully of the diocese makes a trip down to the pasture of Morscher Field.  Even with the grass Cov Cath gets this win.

Holy Cross @ Conner - Senior night for the graduating class of 2025 for the Cougars.  Trey Wagner, Brayden Thornton, and Owen Mayhew should help ensure their night is not spoiled by the Indians of Holy Cross.

Ryle @ Highlands - My game of the day.  Two programs who know how to play soccer.  The Bluebirds are without a nest currently and have been playing games at NKU and this one will be played in Newport.  Little smaller field that could perhaps help the Bluebirds put another L in the loss column of the Raiders.

Simon Kenton @ Grant County - 32nd District game, the Pioneers get the win over the Braves.

Villa Madonna @ Beechwood - The Tigers are quietly having a nice season.  I believe they come out on top of the Vikings in this one.

Walton Verona @ St. Henry - Walton has given up 26 goals to NKY competition....I look for them to give up 4-5 more this game.  

Thursday 

Bishop Brossart @ Holy Cross - The Mustangs take care of business and get the win.

Calvary Christian @ Scott -37th District game.  I see Calvary winning this one.

Cooper @ Conner - Of course this is my game of the day.  33rd District battle!  Can the Cougars get the win and secure the #1 seed in the district?  Maddox Pemberton is back from an injury and so is Mason Ginn for the Cougars.  Since 2019 these teams have traded wins with Cooper getting the last one in the district match last year that knocked the Cougars out.

Covington Catholic @ Highlands - my 2nd choice for game of the day.  The way the Colonels have been playing, I don't see them having any problems with the Bluebirds in Newport.  

Grant County @ Pendleton County - Your guess is as good as mine on this one.  

Ryle @ Boone County - Is this the year the Rebels get the Raiders?  I've seen both teams and Boone has some players who can create matchup problems for the Raiders.  33rd District seeding game.  

Simon Kenton @ St. Henry - Another game for me that could go either way.  

Saturday

Highlands @ Conner - This game was supposed to be played early in the season, but Highlands had to back out due to "Open House" for school.  Conner drops out of the Bruin Classic to get this game in with the Bluebirds.  Highlands will be ending the week facing Cov Cath, Ryle, and Conner...needless to say that is a tough schedule.  This is my game of the day!  @FrankNicodemus you can buy me a Mt. Dew before the game and help support Conner Soccer, I'll have on a Conner soccer shirt.  Also, @FrankNicodemus you have to post the score and give the recap due to your game post/recaps being way better than mine.  

The NKHSBSCA rankings come out on Monday.  It will be interesting to see how close they match the below:

1. Covington Catholic

2. Highlands

3. Dixie Heights

4. Cooper

5. Bishop Brossart

6. Conner

7. Ryle

8. St. Henry

9. Newport Central Catholic

10. Beechwood

 

Highlands has canceled the game Saturday verses Conner…so no game of the day for 9/21/24.
