Sacred Heart and LexCath are probably the "right" two teams to play for the championship, although there were 4-5 teams that could put a solid claim to LexCath's spot. When all said and done, LexCath won the games to get there. With Sacred Heart, when Chase is on the field, Sacred Heart has a next level team. This group of seniors for SHA entered the program with very, very high expectations and the talent to hang multiple banners. To this point, they have a state runner-up, no championships, but this year they are a team on a mission. They are beating up on quality soccer teams (Etown, S.Oldham), I'd love to see LexCath pull off the upset, but hard to see SHA letting this championship slip through their hands.

Not a lot of people gave little town of Bethlehem a chance last year and they did it.

I hope it’s a good game.

100% agreed on that (myself included), I hope its a good game as well. I expect SHA to have last year's game in mind when they take the pitch...
