OC played Louisville Holy Cross a couple of years ago. This schedule definitely not as brutal as last year.

Saw on twitter that Hartz received an invite to the Elite11 regional. That's a pretty big deal and I got to wondering if there were any KY qbs that made it to the big Elite11 competition...didn't Drew Barker go? Here's one of Hartz's hudl videos, good luck to him.. Drew Hartz - QB12 - Drew Hartz highlights - Hudl

Some head-scratchers, especially at honorable mention QBs... I've seen 3-4 of them play and they are no where near Owensboro Catholic's Drew Hartz or Owensboro's Will Warren.

The rankings look about right as OCath showed that they are not quite there yet in closing out tough games. They led undefeated John Hardin as well but couldn't handle the super athletic pressure in the second half.

Agree that the region is the top three and then the rest. If OCath gets a W over ohs this friday, I'd put them back on top since they would have wins over breck and the devils. This is the time of year that OC starts to slow their pace and revert back to crawl ball which has been brutal to watch the last couple of years. If they keep up the fast pace, they should stay around the top of the region.

okie1 is correct, previously was called the big 8 conference. This years president of the conference was the coach from Henderson county and he said they are looking to add schools in the future. This looks to be an attempt to get some recognition to the kids from these schools who are overlooked by the rest of the state, which is a good thing. I think the schools in the western end of the state also have a "conference".

The Northwest KY football conference had their inaugural All-Conference team recognition on Monday night hosted by Owensboro High School: Owensboro Catholic - Drew Hartz, Noah Todd, Vonn Williams, Nick Mills Grayson County - Noah Bullock, Ethan Cates, QDaryius McHenry, Derrick Ruth Daviess County - Marquel Tinsley, Joey Cambron, Landon Newman McLean County - Peyton Carroway, Nikolas Dela Cruz, Andrew Munster, Dalton Eubanks Hancock County - Darian Clay, Spencer Harpenau, Devin Taylor Muhlenberg County - Cameron Everly, Joseph Grubbs Apollo - Gage Hayden, Mario McKenzie, Quinton Miller Owensboro - Trevon Green, Will Warren, Dartanyan Tinsley, Qualon Tinsley Ohio County - Benjamin Wood Henderson County - Skip Patterson, Ian Pitt, Isaiah Fallen Congrats to those guys..

Possible preview of a 3rd region final last night with OCath topping Breck in a well played game 79-73. Catholic slowed it down in the second half for some reason and Breck got back in the game and even took the lead, but Cath made a couple more plays and hit free throws to pull it out.

OCath next three games are Meade, Breck, and Grayson...so the team that dismantled south spencer 103-38 will certainly get tested early. The Aces look to have a team that will make a lot of noise in the region this year.

Good summary about the Murray upset over Ocath. Three of the four major penalties that cost them big time were what the referees called "foul language" that were never directed at anyone. One was even called on a player on the sidelines after the play was over. Bizarre 'look at me' officiating at the least in that game, and that's putting it nice. In the end the turnovers doomed the Aces second half and Murray took full advantage.

Well, since Owensboro Catholic was finally brought up in this thread, Cal Fan was right in the stars aligning for them to go all the way.. BUT .. this is a very good OCath team this year. Unfortunately for them, the top 3 in 2A are as well. I suspect they will give Mayfield all they want in the third round since it will be played in the 'boro.

This should be a fun game to watch, Mclean ground and pound versus OCath spread attack.

Was a heck of a game. Both teams really played tough and I was impressed with Apollo. Solid team. Not a great game by Ocath QB Drew Hartz, but his run for the eventual game winning TD was big time and Von Williams had some huge runs. This game could have gone either way and the Aces come away with a hard fought win.

This should be a good game between a couple of pretty good teams. I give the edge to OC just due to the strength of schedule each team has played thus far.

Owensboro Catholic gets South Warren on week 10.
