?? ? | Covington Catholic make the 100+ mile trek to Richmond Friday for the team's traditional finale with Madison Central. The series has been a great post-season tune-up for both schools.

✅️ This year's edition has the makings of a classic, with each team ranked at or near the top of the statewide rankings all season.

? The Colonels lead the Indians 14-3 during the "Riherds Era," and Madison Central's last win came in 2013, the year they won the Sweet 16.

❓️Does history repeat itself, or does Coach Feldhaus & Co. take down Coach Thelen's #1 ranked squad? 

What does each team need to accomplish to take the win?

The Indians have a size and skill combo the Colonels haven't seen since Male in the KOB. Cov Cath has more than just shooters - speed to burn and play excellent defense.

++ A video livestream is scheduled on Madison Central's Hudl page. Covington Catholic will cover the game via an audio livestream. Links to each can be found below.

? The JV prelim begins at 6:00. Varsity tip-off is slated for 7:30.

Looking forward to this matchup! I’m trying to find a ticket link. Does anyone know if Madison Central has one that I can access electronically? 

$6 Cash only at the door. Get there early. 

If I knew the answer to who wins. I wouldn't have to make the drive, but I'll be there.  I believe this game will certainly be worth the price of admission.

Everyone, if something is wrong in a thread please do not "attempt to call it out" in the thread, please report it using the "Report" feature in the “More Options” menu that can be accessed by clicking the “…” icon located in the upper right-hand side of every post.

Thank you!

Thank you! Making the drive from Louisville with a friend of mine. 

FYI, they said all concessions were cash only also. 

I am going to "go out on a limb" here and pick CovCath ?

They are the best team in the state, and while I expect Madison Central will compete, CovCath will win this by 10+.

You may be right on both counts. The Massey Ratings were ahead of the curve in placing Cov Cath at No. 1 this season. They continue though to undersell the Colonels in match-up predictions.

Madison Central senior Luke Asher being recognized before the game for scoring his 1000th career point on Monday against South Laurel.

Looks like the WBON video livestream linked above is just under a second behind the Colonel Athletic Network audio broadcast.

I've unfortunately gotta check out on the game here for the most part, but I'll be popping in as I can. If anyone wants to update the score as they can it'd be MUCH appreciated.

Starters ~

Colonels: McGillis, Myrick, Bradshaw, Harney, Stava

Indians: Feldhaus, Burton, Asher, Richardson, Steele
