I don't consider Cov Cath a passing team. Yes they run the spread but they have more yards rushing than passing this year and their QB is a better runner than passer IMO.

 

Most of their plays are designed as pass/run option. Take away one of the options and it is not as effective.

Worst effort I have seen by Cov Cath all year. They looked out of sync from the beginning. Constant downpour during the entire game rendered the passing game of Cov Cath non-existent. The rain did not slow down the St X running game and IMO St X is the fastest team I have seen all year on both sides of the ball, even in these conditions.

 

I've heard the bolded part from a couple of friends who are CovCath folks. They were pretty disappointed with the effort. You hate to have that happen right before the playoffs. Not to say it will affect the game against Woodford County. CovCath should roll in that game. But the following week against Johnson Central, you don't want those little gremlins in the back of the minds of the CovCath players if things start going wrong at the beginning of the game. I'm sure Coach Wirth, Coach Ray and the other fine coaches at CovCath will do every thing in their powers to stop that from happening and CovCath will play Johnson Central tough.

I was not at the game, but...............I would think that the weather conditions maximized the strengths of St. X and minimized the strengths of Covington Catholic.

Just an encouraging thought.
