Week 7 Games Preview

As we enter week 7, we should finalize a couple more district seedings and start to understand who a threat will be to win District and Regional games going into weeks 8, 9, and 10.

Games to watch this week....

Tuesday

Beechwood @ Calvary Christian - Calvary has Josh Ruwe who has scored 31 goals on the year.  Granted, Calvary hasn't played the toughest of competition.  Beechwood has given up 8 goals on the year...very impressive.  I'm picking the Tigers in this battle of large cats.  

Boone County @ Simon Kenton - Way back in the day these two schools were in the same district for basketball... that is crazy to think of.  I think the Rebels get this one.

Highlands @ Dixie Heights - My game of the day.  Both of these programs are playing good futbol.  Dixie is missing one of their best players but are still putting up goals.  The Bluebirds are coming off a loss and a tie and will be looking for a win.  If I told you that the Colonels have not had a win verses the Blue Birds in over 23 years, would you believe me?  I know @FrankNicodemus would.  Is this the year the Colonels defeather the Blue Birds and take a piece of the cake?  @FrankNicodemus I'll be at this one, since your Blue Birds canceled on my Cougars last week you can buy me a popcorn and Mt. Dew at the Dixie concessions.  @FrankNicodemus you need to start a thread on this game and put a poll on it...I'd be interested to see who the soccer community thinks win this one.

Holmes @ Pendleton County - I'm picking the Bulldogs.

Holy Cross @ St. Henry - St. Henry should win this one but can the Indians get a surprise win?

Ryle @ Cooper - Having seen both teams play already this is going to be an interesting one.  Pemberton will give the back line of the Raiders some problems with his speed.  Cooper got a win on the books due to a forfeiture reported in 2021 for an illegal player by Ryle.  Before that you have to go back to 2019.  If Ryle win, they would secure the #2 seed in the district.  This could be a potential 2/3 district matchup in October.

Villa Madonna @ Grant County - I'm going with Villa to get the win.  

Walton Verona @ Scott - These teams have given up a combined 90 goals to NKY competition.  How ironic if they draw 0-0.

Wednesday 

Boone County @ Campbell County - The Rebels are playing back-to-back games, will fatigue play a part in this game?  The Camels are having a good year, this would be a nice win for them.  Boone will be looking to win as they have lost 2 in a row and have dropped the last 3 in this series to the Camels.  By default, this is my game of the day.

Thursday

Boone County @ Walton Verona - Rebels don't believe in avoiding back-to-back-to-back games!  3rd game in 3 days for the Rebels verses a Walton Verona team they should beat even having played 3 days in a row.  

Conner @ Dixie Heights - Yes, this is the game of the day.  The Colonels get two games of the day this week.  The Cougars, when focused are tough to beat.  Dixie Heights is playing well and will be looking for another win verses a 33rd District team.  The Colonels are currently 2-1 verses the 33rd.  Cougars are on the prowl after securing the #1 seed in the 33rd and will be looking for another signature win verses one of the top teams in the 9th Region.  

Cooper @ Grant County - Cooper gets to play on the pasture down in Dry Ridge.  For the Conner vs Cooper game, the announcer kept calling them the Jag-u-ars...I like that.  I'm picking the Jag-u-ars to win this one.  

Holy Cross @ Beechwood - 35th District seeding game.  The Tigers secure the #2 seed in my opinion and win this one.

Newport Central Catholic @ Calvary Christian - No advantage for the Cougars with the grass field as the Thoroughbreds play on a grass pasture too.  I'm picking the pony on this one.

Ryle @ Holmes - Why is Ryle playing Holmes?  In the past this game would've been over at half time.  The last time these two played each other was in 2007.  I think Coach Collins is trying to get an easy win for his squad.  Ryle still wins easily in this one.  

Simon Kenton @ Highlands - The Blue Birds should win this one.  

Villa Madonna @ Scott - I'm picking the Mustangs 

St. Henry is showing open date for this day, not sure if they will have a game or not.

Saturday

Bishop Brossart @ Campbell County - The battle for Alexandria!  Not sure who to pick in this one.  This will also be my game of the day.

Holmes @ Covington Latin - The Bulldogs get the win in the Battle for the Dixie Chili Cup (I just made that up).  

Holy Cross (Covington) @ Scott - I think the Indians get the win verses the Eagles.  

St. Henry @ Calvary Christian - I'm going with St. Henry.
