Congrats to NCC. Very fast team. So much athleticism on one squad.

NCC will be fine in Districts without McDonald, i wouldnt rush a high ankle sprain. My son had one last year and they can be Nasty.

Congrats to Newport Catholic on the win. St. Henry has played all the top teams in the region and New Cath had the best defense that I've seen. Long, athletic and went after the ball. Hichtchew played like I remember last year. Good luck the rest of the way.

It's incredible. We were dying for kids at 6'3 when I was on the Hill. Now they have to 6'8" kid coming off of the bench. Awesome to see.

Congrats to NCC on the win. This is a pretty impressive statement. :notworthy: Defense does win games.

Is Schulte the 6'8" sub you are referencing? big boy, but didn't look that tall.
