Covington Catholic / Beechwood Predictions

Covington Catholic / Beechwood Updates

Because VOR is going to ask, no, I was not happy with this victory. Yes, I am happy they won especially considering they were down 14 but it wasn't what it should have been. However, they won and they line up again next week.

 

I was impressed with the Tigers - more than I expected. The two LBs are extremely good.

A win is a win. Go Colonels

Not a pretty win, but there is always something to be said for a win against your neighborhood rival. I believe that is 6 out of the last 7 vs Beechwood.

Congrats CCH, but you are MILES away from Highlands..................

Pretty sure that is obvious.

You are right, but boy I thought the Colonels would be further along than this. I know this is a big rivalry game, especially for Beechwood, but Highlands has to be the mark for the Colonels, and despite hearing for years how great the young guys for Cov Cath are, I am just not seeing it on the field yet.

How about this? It's obvious the Colonels are not ready for the Birds. That's not news. Let's keep this to this game.

 

BW fans will be on here soon and I'm guessing some are going to question whether the 3rd TD for the Colonels was legit. Some Colonel fans are going to question calls by the officials (I'm not one ) as CCH had 2 drives where they ended up getting zero points after scoring a TD but having it called back.

Also, in the updates thread it was mentioned that on BW's last possession, a receiver was open for a long TD pass but dropped the ball. How close was this play to being the go-ahead score for BW?

It wasn't so much a drop as it was a tough pass to catch. Colisimo rolled out and threw a long pass while on the run and it sailed OOB a bit. Complete breakdown on the CCH D and it happened earlier in the game to the opposite side that went for a TD. Disappointing.

Thanks for the clarification. Also, congrats to CCH for the hard-fought win. As someone stated above, a win is a win, and the BW-CCH game is a rivalry.

I wasn't going to ask. I figured you would comment on it yourself. And thanks for acknowledging that Beechwood's talent is better than you expected.

 

Congrats to the Colonels. They made the plays and adjustments they needed to win the game. Bir played how a young talented QB plays - up and down but he had some very nice throws tonight. Connelly is as advertised.

 

It was a very good game. The young Tigers get better every week. This was definitely their best all around game all season. Honestly, and I am sure everyone would expect a Beechwood fan to say this but I believe it is true, Beechwood should have won the game. In an evenly matched game, turnovers are usually the difference and that is the story for the Tigers - they lose the turnover battle 4-1 and only lose the game by 3 points. You lose the turnover battle in an evenly matched game and you lose the game 9 out of 10 times. You lose it by 3 turnovers, and you probably should lose by at least 14 points. The fact that they only lost by 3 despite having three more turnovers says a lot about how they played.

 

Coach Rash was impressive tonight. His game plan was great. His defense seemed to know what was coming all night long. Unfortunately, there were a few plays where it was clear Beechwood knew exactly what the play was and CCH still executed and got big gains. Congrats to the CCH players on out executing the Tigers on those plays.

 

I thought CCH made some nice adjustments at half time on defense and that slowed the Tigers down in the third quarter. Then when the Tigers offense adjusted and had a drive going, they turned the ball over at about the 15 on their way to at least a field goal. :madman: That hurt.

 

The Tigers played great and I am excited about the rest of the season. I think these first four games have done exactly what Coach Rash wanted - uncovered all the weaknesses and enabled the Tigers to get ready for another title run. They are there and it is time to roll.

Also, in the updates thread it was mentioned that on BW's last possession, a receiver was open for a long TD pass but dropped the ball. How close was this play to being the go-ahead score for BW?

 

The receiver was a good 10 yards behind the DB and the pass was just not a good throw. It wasn't lofted up for a wide open receiver. It was thrown with heat and over the wrong shoulder. The receiver made a nice effort to spin and just got a hand on it but couldn't pull it in. If he just lobs that up and lets the receiver run to it, he may have gone all the way.

You're being kind.

... and so is everyone else, including Ryle. I said it in other threads and I will say it again here - Highlands will beat Ryle worse in the next game than the first one. But as Clyde said, let's stick to the thread topic.
