No word. Mac Cogswell (WR/DB/Kick Returner) came out early in the 1st quarter and spent the rest of the game with his pads off and his arm in a sling and Spencer Clukey (TE/LB) came out in the 2nd quarter and spent the second half with his helmet off on the sideline and a large ice pack held on his knee with athletic wrap. I counted either 5 or 6 other players who were already in street clothes at the beginning of the game - one in a neck brace and two or three with arms in slings. I wanna say we're in the high 50s on our varsity roster, so being down 7 or 8 players is gonna take a toll.

Can confirm that the scoreboard crew at Cov Cath is made up of septuagenarians and that they have the scoreboard turned off at all games before they exit the pressbox to leave. There was a heck of a crowd in the parking lot last night. Ever noticed how fast the greyhairs in the first few pews at church head for the parking lot after communion to beat the exit rush at mass on Sunday?

Truth.Great game by Beechwood tonight. I've gotta imagine Pabst averaged over 7 yards per touch. Fryman's catch to set up Beechwood's final touchdown was an all-time highlight reel catch for the Tigers. Beechwood's touchdown drive to start the game put the Colonels standing straight up, and then when Cov Cath's offense responded with a three-and-out with their first series, Beechwood pushed the Colonels back onto their heels and kept them there for the rest of the game. There were some key dropped passes by Cov Cath receivers that just cannot happen in a big game, especially when you're facing a team that has the playmakers Beechwood has. It was distinct tonight hearing how loud Beechwood's stands were for all 48 minutes and how quiet Covington Catholic's stands were. Really disappointed seeing Mac Cogswell and Spencer Clukey both come away from this one with injuries. That's almost 400 yards of passing offense in the first 4 games that we could really do to have on the field with Highlands two weeks away. I definitely hope they get healthy.Beechwood wins it 42-35.
