The roster is updated on Arbiter now and neither Logan Zembrodt nor Eli Robertson are on it, as suspected. Sophomore Roco Gillette is the only player listed as a kicker, so I'd assume he's the new man up.

No Jace Thornton on the roster this year either. That's another bummer...kid had some serious wheels on him. If he's hoping for a college ticket for his athletic ability, though, it'd almost assuredly be for track and not for football, so I can understand why he'd want to forego the potential injuries football risks and focus on his track career.

No Jackson Payne either.

Focusing on baseball is what I am told…..the front 7 for the Colonel D is loaded so He may have seen some writing on the wall…..that being said, Payne is absolute beast of an all around athlete……will be missed for sure

The coaching staff is loaded. Look at all the years Weinrich was with Dale Mueller at Highlands. Mike Woolf is a great coach too. Great coaching staff with great experience. Let's roll fellas! Roll Colonels!

This simply cannot be overstated enough….

I went to the NewCath scrimmage and IMO the Colonels looked like a work in progress. Not sure what the deal was with the bad snaps. Also, not sure if this was our first string kicker, but it’s going to be hard to beat good teams if we can’t do a better job on kickoffs and PATs.

2 things I can say about this : they went extremely Vanilla all night staying in 1-2 basic looks and there is nothing, absolutely nothing work in progress about that Defense. I know Courtney will sling the Rock all over the place, but the D is going to be the star of the show this year…..that unit is insane….

Defense wins championships!

GAME DAY!!! WHAT YOU GOING TO DO, WHEN THE COLONELS RUN WILD ON YOU? 💙💪🏽🏈🏆💙

Cov Cath has two senior G6 commits and they put their junior QB with zero career starts on this for opening night…I think Coach Eviston is letting everyone know the caliber of player he’s got here.

I definitely like seeing stripes on the sides of the pants making a return.

The National Anthem is being played in Union. Just a few minutes until kickoff.

Add one red stripe - pants, sleeves, around the helmet logo for a throwback classic is all I'm saying. (nostalgic sigh)

Cov Cath captains Owen Pitzer, Cash Myers and Jonny Lind.

Ryle captains are Andrew Smith, Landon Gray, Hayden Marquardt, and Dalton Courtney.

Ryle won the toss and has deferred to the second half.
