Same, I am very excited to watch this game from the comforts of home.

I like Elder in this one.

One adjustment with the new defensive staff (I think Brian Weinrich and Mike Woolf are very good high school coaches) from the Ryle game is when they were in 3x1, we manned up the backside in quarters. Cov Cath's corners are probably athletic enough to do that vs. everyone on the schedule except for this week and obviously Beechwood.

I think we'll see more Cover 6 (2 to the boundary, Quarters to the field) or a "Cone' call, which is a bracket of the X by the corner and boundary safety with still quarters to the field.

Cov Cath probably won't win tonight, but they do have a lot of future college players and a couple bounces of the ball their way and it'll be tight in the 4th.

St. Agnes Homecoming festival is tonight, so the lot at St. Agnes isn't going to be an option for overflow parking, and anyone coming for the game is going to be contending with the Homecoming crowd for parking over across the highway in the lots at Wright's Summit.

Complete with the "Cone Call!"

I think the Colonels have a very good chance in this game. I already purchased my on line ticket to watch it in my house 300 miles away...LOL.

Good luck Colonels!
