...... of course the country is Canada though.

 

In a game definately worth of the "This will be interesting" category. Johnson Central will host St. Thomas More from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada on Sept. 5.

 

St. Thomas More has won two consecutive Golden Horseshoe Bowls in Canada, they finished last season 12-0 and ranked as the #1 team in the entire country.

 

This game brings up several pertinent questions:

1. Will JC have to re-do their field and make it longer with the goalposts at the front of the endzone.

 

2. Will Westsider's head explode trying to figure out the trasnlation of whether the best team in all of Canada is a worth replacement to Louisville Central?

 

3.Will Jim Matney hype this game as the single greatest matchup in the history of the US in international high school football, and following the win crown himself as the new prime minister of Canada?

Johnson Central will either get crushed or we will find out Canadian football is not ALL THAT!

^ I agree. Very nice matchup though, any school would like to say they played in this game.

I wish they played September 6th so I could check this event out, sounds very cool.

Where will this game be played?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh I see, Johnson Central.

So how long and where will the team from Canada stay? That must be some big time program in Canada to fly their team to Kentucky to play Johnson Central. Great for Johnson Central but I'm trying to figure out what the Canadian team gets out of this.

Gas prices are evidently not an issue in OH' Canada. They have more of it than anywhere else.

As far as the field issue for the Knights, I don't think that will be the big problem for them getting used to. The thing that I'd see them having is 1) in Canadian football, there are 12 players on the field at and time and they're allowed to have two players in motion AND 2) in Canadian football, teams only have 3 potential plays to make a first down instead of the 4 here in the States.

 

While these could be issues for most teams, it shouldn't matter to this team since it seems like they schedule one team from the States each year PLUS if they're good enough to be the best team in Canada, then they should be able to easily adjust to whatever rule differences are.

It isn't as far as one would think either. 600 miles and 10 hours.

:lol:

 

They didn't want a rematch with Central ... enough said.

How good is Cleveland Heights High School?

I can see the Canadian flags a flying now in Paintsville come Sept!!!!!!!:lol:

How good is Cleveland Heights High School?

Cleveland Heights, which lost to St. Thomas More 32-19 last year, is a Division I (big-school) program in Ohio. They were 3-7 last year. Their Massey power rating was about what Warren Central's was in Kentucky last season.

Any CovCath fans want to do their civil duty and instruct our friendly neighbors to the North on how to find Johnsonville, KY? HAHA

I noticed a return trip to Central High in Louisville does not appear on the 2008 schedule. Is this game the reason?
