I've tried for an hour to get Cov Cath to take my money for the live broadcast. Nothing but brick walls. I'm no internet expert but I have no problem ordering items from it. This is frustrating for an old man. Where am I going wrong?

Also and this is mostly a repeat of the instruction from two games ago:

Streaming Information

Go to this link:

https://www.covcath.org/athletics/tickets-and-broadcasting.cfm

Then scroll down the page, you go past the Varsity Football announcement for the Highlands game with the Event Policies listed. Eventually you come to Video Streaming and the first listing is for the Freshman Football vs. Conner (CovCath has Conner spelled wrong with Connor) game but that is for a $40 channel ticket and not for a $10 game ticket. You have to scroll down just a bit further and you will come to:

Purchase Individual Upcoming Games (All Sports)

The default under Purchase Individual Upcoming Games (All Sports) is the same Conner Frosh game.  Now, once you see that, the Frosh game vs. Conner, there is a column/box to the right (or below) and within that column of choices the second option is Varsity Football vs. Highlands.  Click on that.  Once you click on that the $10 Purchase Ticket option comes up for the Highlands game.

Think Highlands wins by 3 TD's.

Beat Colonels!!!

EE's coaching staff has worked really hard trying to keep their players from getting the yips by treating all games alike regardless of opponent or circumstance. I think that's really resulted in an inability of EE's coaching staff to get their players excited about big games. That's made for alot of trouble when CCH steps out onto a field facing a team that has players that are really hyped up and ready to roll for a big game. Just look at the BW game a couple weeks ago.

Based on that I'm expecting Highlands to pull ahead early and CCH will spend the rest of the game trying unsuccessfully to catch up with a very good Highlands team. I say Birds by 3 tuddies.

If there is a reasonably dry field Armstrong will be the difference. If it is a wet, slippery night Lorenzen becomes the difference. In either case Highlands by 10. Would selfishly like to see the Colonels win this battle and make the Beechwood victory even sweeter.

Wow! Love your analogy but you are way over thinking this...

Are you blaming the Beechwood loss on the Coach E's inability to motivate his players?

Beechwood was more responsible for the loss but the CCH team's lack of motivation coming out of the lockerroom was a contributing factor too. Starting out flat letting BW take it straight down the field and score on them and answering with a 3 and out had them playing from their heels all night. Playing from their heels seems like a familiar story with most every EE era team that isn't '17/'18/'19. I've read all these comments about EE and his staff being some of the best in the state with making halftime adjustments. Why are they eternally having to change up their plan at the half? Why don't they come out and dominate fron the word go and then simply continue with that into the 1nd half? Aside from SK, a few games against Dixie, and their district gimme opponents, dominating from the word go is not a hallmark of CCH football teams under EE.

IMO the BW game was a buzzsaw this year. The team is loaded. I will say this, if they go down a few scores early to Highlands, and play catch up, it will be a long night. This Highlands team took it to Boyle County and will do the same to any team when they have their way.

I do look forward to seeing former Mueller assistant Weinrich going up against his alma mater from the side of their arch nemisis, CCH. I want to see the D garner some TO's.

This surprises me. But hey glass half full, CCH has put running clocks on everyone they have played this year that does not have a P4 senior QB throwing to a senior FBS WR.

Also for losing a ton of production at QB and RB, CCH is at least equal at those spots if not a bit better with underclassmen.

Bingo.

Highlands in a close one.

Prayers to the Colonel players tonight, I'm hearing a Senior starter lost his Father unexpectedly last night. Heavy stuff for those boys.
