On Friday, September 12, Holmes (0-3) visits Covington Holy Cross (3-0).  Who wins this Covington neighborhood rival showdown?  Start the discussion.

Give me Covington Holy Cross to go 4-0 on the season.

I am thinking this one will be all Holy Cross.  Anyone think otherwise?

The last time these two Covington schools met was 2022 when Holmes defeated Holy Cross 40-27.  Holy Cross won only two games that year.  Even when one school is up and the other one down, this game has a tendency to be a "throw out the record books" situation.

Holy Cross goes 4-0 with a 28-0 victory over the Bulldogs. 

Holmes lost to Ludlow 42-18, so I think they will find the end zone against Holy Cross, but won't have much luck stopping them.  

35-7 Indians

I believe this one is being played at Thomas More 

My dragons played at Holmes last week and they announced it several times.

Holmes has a long way to go. I really like their campus and stadium though.

Indians up 34-0 with 7:44 left in the first half.

Wow on that score.  I know Holy Cross has a good 1A team but gosh how bad is Holmes.

41-0 half time.  I think it is a mix of HC turning the corner and being on the upswing finally, and Holmes having a bad year.

This has been HC's pattern. Get really young after a couple good years, then struggle for a few, and then have a solid year two when the kids grow up. Wash, rinse, repeat. It's always good when HC has a solid football team.

Do we have a final?

Start of the 4th and it is 50-0.
