You may be right, but I think the style will affect this group without the leadership of Henderson. They have already been T'd up a few times. Last year that wouldn't have happened. They will also get lazy on D.
If they play good D, slow the game down and take Holmes out of their style, and hit some shots outside they have a fighting chance. If they play Holmes' style, they will lose by 30
No the slowed down game gets in Holmes' head and they will not be the same. They will get tired of playing tight D and will get spread and HC will capitalize.
I just checked the KHSAA website and the 35th goes like this:
1999-Holmes
2000-Holy Cross
2001-Covington Catholic
2002-Holmes
2003-Holy Cross
2004-Covington Catholic
2005-Holmes
2006-Holy Cross
2007-Covington Catholic
2008-Holmes
2009-It would only make sense to be HC.
