Congrats to CovCath. That's a state championship caliber team. 

I was confident in the win by the Colonels here, but I definitely wasn't expecting it to be a wider margin than the regular season game.

Cov Cath looks like they're bringing everything they got headed into the Sweet 16 and their opening round game against St. Xavier.

?‍☠️ Raiders, congratulations on a great season!

Do the Colonels have enough to take down the mighty Tigers?

Do the Colonels have enough to take down the mighty Tigers?

Absolutely yes.

Will they?  We shall see.  But yes, they have more than enough to do the job.
