Tough as Nails Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 While it is always disappointing to end your season without reaching the Pizza Box, how many teams had their only losses to an eventual state champion or state runner-up?

Cubster Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 At least 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tough as Nails Posted December 7, 2005 Author Share Posted December 7, 2005 Lexington Christian lost two games--Lexington Catholic, eventual 3A state champion and NCC, eventual 1A state champion. I also read that Newport High School only lost to state champions, though I am not sure who. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makaveliX2801 Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 I also read that Newport High School only lost to state champions, though I am not sure who. They only lost to Russell and Newport Central Catholic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GR8BigBull Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Manual lost to Trinity on a last minute 72 yard TD pass and to St.X (twice 17-7 and 33-18). Also lost to Male (FG with 6 sec. 31-28) and Warren Central (42-35 last minute TD pass). Every loss to a team that went at least to second round of playoffs. I know the thread is "to state champ and runner up" but this is a tough schedule and a terrible way to lose tough games. No solace in looking at the strength of schedule and no such thing as a moral victory. The tough games will prepare the younger players for the future when the taste of victory will be hard to suppress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeSales handled in DIII championship game by Stuebenville, 28 - 7. Oh yeah ... I was thinking about Cincy St. Xavier, not Colerain. Between Highlands and CovCath, I can never remember which schedule is which. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
