My thoughts exactly. If they can stay healthy and keep there heads where they're at right now, there's not much chance for anyone in 2A to knock them off.

 

Whoever makes it out of the regions will be tough. If you make it that far, any team can beat any team. You guys know that, look at what Rockcastle Co. did to you and Highlands in back-to-back years.

You make a good point, but still, and not to try to take away from the fact that Rockcastle was very talented and played some great football both years, I think there was an element of teams looking past their competition to the next game that took place in both of those situations. I think the potential for that, along with the potential for injury will be the big deciding factors for New Cath.

NewCath was very impressive. I knew after watching the Dixie game that this team would be a resiliant never say die type of team. I didn't realize until watching the Ryle game how good the O and D-lines were. Even though I never felt Ryle was in jeopardy of losing, I was really surprised that it was NewCath's O and D-line taking control of the LOS in the 4th quarter.

 

Ryle does have a passing game, but it is only effective as play action. I don't understand why they don't use Mullins more as a receiver. I am not saying he shouldn't be the fullback, because he is quite effective as both a runner and blocker. However, I think using him in the slot or motioning him wide more would add a dimension that Ryle does not have. It's one thing to be able to throw play action effectively when a team is expecting the run, it's another to be able to throw when then situation obviously calls for it.

 

It will be interesting to see what Ryle does this week against Dixie. I think Dixie's achilles heal is their pass defense.

ky,

 

I agree with you and think NCC may not lose a game from here on out. They are physical upfront and their skill positions will be better than most they face. Coach Eviston has added a few wrinkles this year offensively and their defense is always disciplined and well coached.
