I am exactly saying that if Fort Campbell and the 'Breds play in the championship it will be the same result as last year. Please check the official records for the 2007 2A champs - I am pretty sure you will see Ft. Campbell listed as champs and the 'Breds as runner-up. When I walked out of Papa John's the final was FC 21 - NCC 7, zero time left on the clock.

 

This is a completely different NewCath team from last year's. This team has had a little issue w/ fumbles, but not w/ untimely penalties. If you remember last year, NewCath shot themselves in the foot at the 5 w/ a penalty and it wound up costing them as they tossed an int on third and goal. This year's running game is light years ahead of last years. I can't remember the last time that NewCath only threw the ball 7 times in a playoff game and still won 42-14. On top of that, their special teams have been very good w/ the exception of last week's kick off return. They've blocked numerous punts and Nate Rawe is as exciting of a kick/punt returner as you'll find. Add in the fact that Ferrara is starting to find his legs and you have two very dangerous return men. I don't know enough about Ft. Campbell this year besides they started the year hot, their QB got hurt and they hit a lull, and now are playing well again in the playoffs. All I know is that NewCath is a much tougher team mentally this year, and I expect them to play very well against DeSales. From there we'll see.

I'm sure if it shapes up to be NCC vs Ft Campbell again it will be a very good game.

I just take some MREs and tell the family to suck it up.

That's cool. I couldn't do that though.....but that's just me.

Likewise, this is a completely different FC Falcon team than last season. I think they're faster on offense and the defense is stronger.

 

Again, provided both teams make it......it will certainly be a good game.

No doubt the 'Breds are solid! My posting was in response to the comment regarding NCC repeating this year just like last year. Had to point out that NCC isn't the defending champ and when they did win their most recent title in '06 they were a 1A team.

Should Fort Campbell be fortunate enough to play in the title game, you will see a team that is different from last year's squad. They are the fastest, most explosive offensive team in 2A - not just a couple of players, but a host of players. (541 points scored, the most in 2A) On Defense, they have given up a measly 89 points through 12 games, a considerable portion of them allowed by the JV team. (Least amount of points given up in 2A)

Fort Campbell has not lost to a 2A team since the playoffs in November 2006 to Trigg County. (Two years - no 2A losses)

^Those are some good stats; two years with no losses in 2A.

I did some research regarding what's bolded above. Here's what I found.

 

In 1A, there was only team that scored more than 541 points, and zero that allowed less than 89.

In 3A, same as 1A

In 4A, there were two teams that scored more than 541 points, and two teams that allowed less than 89. Bell County scored a state high 593, while allowing a state low of 28.

In 5A, same as 1A and 3A.

In 6A, there was only one team that scored more than 541 points, and one team that allowed less 89.

 

So, with all that said, the Fort Campbell Falcons rank in the top 7 of highest scoring teams in the state, and in the top 3 of stingiest defenses in the state. Pretty impressive if you ask me.

According to my wife, BBQ IS a determining factor, so go Falcons! The other Falcons that is…

 

Thomkinsville has some really good BarBQ and this comes from someone in Owensboro with Moonlite. There is a place down there that used to only be open a few days a week I think the name is Francis's or something like that but man was that stuff good. I never could figure out why is was only open a few days a week!

There's only one BBQ open all week in T-ville, the rest are open Thursday-Sunday. I don't really know why their not open all week, I guess they all do so well on weekends they don't have to:D...

As SEMPERFIFALCON stated: Monroe has Bar-B-Que that people travel hours to eat! When you get ready to come to us just PM and any of us will give you directions to some of the best locally owned eateries in the county. All of which are family owned and operated and would love for you to take some back to your home towns to tell everyone about our little place on the map!!

 

As for football, if you play us you better be at the field early or it might get crowded at Darrel Carter Stadium. Monroe has a huge fan base, basically the entire community gets behind our Falcons, we live through our children now and support them to no end. But everyone we welcome, just ask anyone about Monroe's hospitality!!!

I'm torn on this one. Would love to experience some more Monroe County BBQ (last time in 2003) but I need a new pic taken at the outer limits of Black Gnat in Green County. Either way, the game will be a dandy to watch.

That to be said, they would be a good and tough team to beat.

 

I'm thinking rematch, NewCath and FC. Both great teams

How many games has NCC played off of artificial turf this year?

It sounds like you have an awesome community! Hopefully your Falcons and our Falcons can get it done on the field this Friday night. Since FC has to travel for the semi-final, Monroe County sounds like the place to visit.

How many games has NCC played off of artificial turf this year?

 

I think I know where you are going with the question. The Hounds will have the edge at home on a natural surface.

How many games has NCC played off of artificial turf this year?

 

NCC natural grass games this season were

 

At Bellevue (W) 42-6

At Cov Holy Cross (W) 23-7

At Conner (W) 28-27

At Campbell County (W) 34-21

 

NCC has played 8 games at Newport Stadium this season. This Friday vs. DeSales will be the ninth
