Stepover, I'm wondering if you finally got an answer to the question (see below) you asked about 3 weeks ago before regionals started? Calling out a team sometimes helps provide extra motivation so thanks for that. I'd say it's been asked and answered wouldn't you? "The big question in my head is will Cov Cath choke again?"

Congrats to the Colonels on an historic and dominating season. New school records for victories, goals scored and most shutouts and of course, now a state title. A veteran, seasoned, senior lead team that didn't wilt under a lot of expectations before the season began. Regarding the game, as anyone could see, CCH was flat footed in the first 10 minutes or so and only a great defensive effort kept the score at 0-0. Henry Clay was really dominating play at that point. CCH finally got more of the ball and at about the 15 minute mark Lamb slid one nicely across to Litzler who buried it convincingly. Pandemonium in the huge and vocal CCH cheering section and that really lit a fire for the Colonels. As the half wore on, CovCath got more and more of the ball, even though HC was still playing very well. Late in the half, a great combination play with Litzler and Lamb resulted in Lamb in on goal and another good finish. CCH was outshot in the first half but made them count. CCH briefly switched to 4-5-1 for about 4-5 minutes but did not stick with it long. In the second half, CCH could just taste it as the half wore on and you could see that as they got more and more possession and quite frankly just wore HC down and out physically. I can't imagine that HC has seen a team with the overall speed and athleticism that CCH has and in the end, CCH outshot HC 12 to 11 I believe. When Day had the PK stopped that was a downer and seemingly a bad omen but CCH just kept up the attacks and the dagger finally came via a great individual effort by Lamb. Day and Wessels, while not showing in any stats, did well to neutralize a very good midfield for HC and to get Rose off the ball as much as possible. For the record, I agree w/ the all tourney selections for CCH. While Day missed the PK, he was the straw that stirred the drink all year and in the tournament for CovCath. Darpel and Romes were at the center of a defense that quite frankly is the best ever seen in N. Ky. in my opinion. While the HC defense was good, as the confidence grew for CCH, the HC defense really started to wilt under the CovCath attack.

HC is playing very well but the CCH defense has held so far. CCH has finished both of their chances. Goals by Lamb and Litzler. 2-0 at half. Long way to go. CCH under a lot of pressure the first half but counter attacking well.

She has special powers so yes, she does.

I could also be the Bruce Jenner of soccer, a little bit of both.

The Colonels got done last night what they had to do but it wasn't pretty. I'm hoping it was Trinity hangover more than anything but they were not as sharp as I'd hoped they would be offensively. The effort, focus and execution will need to be much better on Saturday for them to get to where they want to be but congrats to the boys for reaching the final two.

Sounds like a good game. Who played well for HC?
-
Yes, he has played very well. Good effort.
-
3 1/2 mins left. Berling knocks in a loose ball for 5-0.
-
Teasley is their best player. Ringzing in the game...
-
Hilliard has not been much of a threat. Had one pretty good chance.
-
4-0 still. Lots of reserves in the game. Uninspired effort.
-
4-0. Litzler from Lamb

Beat goes on for CCH in the second half. Twice CCH has had poor clears right to FC players in front of the goal but no score. Dumb fouls leading to FC chances.

3-0 at half.

CCH subbing like it's a rec game. Amazing.
