He's fine, guess he was just a little shook up. But I see many post on saying watch Newport to come out aggressive in this one. Well don't expect HC to exactly "lay down" and take it. I think that HC is one of the more physical teams in NKY. After all there theme is "Lay da Wood":thumb:

 

All true, HC will, if nothing else, play physical and not lay down. Koz will not allow them to come out overconfident and flat. look for this to be a workmens like game where Newport will have its plays, but if HC comes ready, no reason why they don'y win. The skill level is much different IMO.

I agree I think that like I said earlier it will be close in the first half, but HC will wear them out and pull away. Much of the wearing out will come from the running of Andy Roenker. :ylsuper:

He is a load. And I heard TE and DE Mike Sullivan was out at practice today? Do you or anybody think this could effect the game heavily? I feel Conrad Eastin could step in very well if needed.

Well I think it was more for just pre-cautionary reasons and he should be fine for Friday, but in my opinion HC couldn't replace a player like Mike Sullivan on offense or defense. At times on defense he is just an absolute monster making tackles on the opposite side of the field and he leads the team in tackles. On the offensive side of the ball he is their go-to-guy in the redzone on passing plays.

 

But I think they would be ok if he went out with either Josh Volpenhein or Chaz Spenlau stepping in on defense and Conrad Eastin starting TE instead of splitting time with Sullivan.

Just what I was thinking. :thumb:

Yea they both have similar records, but their schedules are far from being similar.

 

How does the schedules being similar matter? I would say most of the teams on Newport schedules that they lost to would have beat HC also. Most of the teams that HC beat I would say Newport could have to.

I completely agree I mean Newport has great wins. I mean Pendleton County, Bishop Brossart, and Scott.

Well first off the schedules being similar matter very much so just look at the way they rank college football teams and how they take in STRENGH OF SCHEDULE. Second HC beat Lloyd and Newport lost to them. Newport lost to Bellevue and Lloyd beat them by 20, and like I said HC beat Lloyd. I don't know much else about the other teams they have played, but I would guess they don't rank anywhere near the likes of Ryle, South Laurel, and Beechwood whom HC has played pretty tough. Therefore that makes HC's schedule head and shoulders better than Newport's.:thumb:

HC- 24

NEWPORT-14

 

HC seniors will come pumped up on senior night, it is a big district game and HC will NOT take this game lightly. The previous week against Beechwood they had 9 injuries, and this week the majority of the injured players will be back. HC should come out on top.

I am going to predict....

HC-28

Newport-10

I am saying that I think HC could have won the same games that Newport did if they would have Newports schedules and by the way a win over Cooper ain't sayin much. If Newport would have played HC schedule I would say most of the teams that beat HC would have done the same to Newport I think that Newport and HC will be a better game than most people think.

Ok but I was just answering your question back in post number 24 where you asked why it would be an upset and that they have similar records, and I was saying that it would be an upset because of the teams they have played and how HC has made each game tough.

Holy Cross-26

Newport-13

I don't have a score for this game I think it will be a closer than most people think. I look for HC's RB to have a big game Newport has not been able to stop the run all year but they are gettin better. Newport has also been turnin the ball over way to much,I would say this game will be decided by a big play or two, I goin have to say HC wins in a close one . Good luck to both teams!

Does the winner of this game get a home field playoff game?
