4️⃣ Final ~ 

? Male 77

? Covington Catholic 69

Bulldogs were impressive in the 4th and controlled the tempo for much of the game. They definitely play "chesty," and at some point refs are going to put the hammer down. Very skilled; by far the best squad Cov Cath has faced to date.

Colonels for once not the biggest, quickest, or most athletic team on the floor. They needed this game to see how they can improve as the season progresses.

Congrats to Male on a hard fought win.

Haworth teams seem to usually be deep. They always force tempo and defend.  I love his style of play. 

30 4th quarter points?  Oh my.
