Mayfield vs holy cross

Mayfield wins

Holy cross is just to athletic for Owen county. 43-6

Is holy cross star player out. Does that change their game plan.

I think Owen run game is to much can't wait for this game

Holy cross might shock some teams in the playoffs this year.

Owen finke (jr) Covington Holy cross. Starting Linebacker in football, diving, and baseball.

Who wins and why?

Beechwood by 3 tds

He had 49 yards through then and I believe HC trailed. Gave them the opp to give the ball to Barnes which they should be doing anyhow. He is a playmaker with game changing speed.

HC was winning the whole game until Xavier went out with an injury

Xavier Abernathy going out of this game in the 3rd Q for sure killed holy cross momentum for the rest of the game and is a big reason why they lost this game.

NCC by as much as they want. No way this game is close.

I believe this weeks match up will say all that we need to know about this Juggs program. This game will set the tone for the playoffs (Not looking over or past Harrison County so no disrespect). The Juggs for all intents and purposes had the W over NCC and gave it away when they decided to throw instead of riding to victory on their thorobred Durham. This is Sr. Night for the Juggs and all eyes will be watching to see how Lloyd responds this week after self destructing. NCC was the biggest ground game to air threat we have played IMO. Smith had 32 carries for 150ish and 1 score I believe. The Breds QB put the ball on target every time and the WRs/DBs battled it out. The Juggs D did get caught napping a time or 2 but the run D has been working thus far. I don't think anyone who has truly watched Lloyd this yr will disagree on this statement. The 2 keys to victory are simple. 1) Can not allow teams to start drives from their own 40. 2) Costly turnovers and mental lapses in judgement have to go. It is to late in the season for those to keep happening.

I was at the game and I agree Lloyd should of won that game. holy cross also could of came away with a win also vs NCC. this game will be a fun one to watch.

Here is where I am coming from. Strength of opponent is a big factor. Here are the Holy Cross rushing totals in order of strength of opponent, going from their weakest opponent to their strongest:

 

vs. 1-7 Newport ... 243 rushing yards ... Abernathy 135; Barnes 33

vs. 3-5 Holmes ... 315 rushing yards ... Abernathy 125; Barnes 45

vs. 6-2 Bethlehem ... 189 rushing yards ... Abernathy 28; Barnes 74

vs. 5-4 Walton ... 205 rushing yards ... Abernathy 64; Barnes 42

vs. Taft ... 291 rushing yards ... Abernathy 36; Barnes 113

vs. Lloyd ... ??????

vs. 4-4 New Cath ... 222 rushing yards ... Abernathy 142; Barnes 39

vs. 7-1 Scott ... 155 rushing yards ... Abernathy 99; Barnes 13

vs. 7-1 Beechwood ... 155 rushing yards ... Abernathy 46; Barnes 13

 

When I look at the results versus strength of opponent, I see a 200 yard team rushing total being a possibility but not 300 yards. I guess you can hang onto the Taft results and hope you can do even better against Lloyd. Maybe one of your guys can break off an 80 yard run and blow up the rushing stats? Congrats on your support and enthusiasm for Holy Cross. I am looking at this as what to expect. 300 rushing yards against Lloyd would be totally unexpected.

I never said that they would get over 300 I said close to it so I don't see why not holy cross can't get like 280 rushing yards against lloyds defense.

U

HC ... I gotta call you on this one. There have only been a couple games all year where Holy Cross gained even 200 yards in a game. I think in most games they have rushed for less than 150. But you think they will get 300 against Lloyd? Keep it real.

Holy cross has had 5 games over 200 total rushing yards so far and 1 game over 300 total rushing yards and the other two games were around 150 yards against two pretty good defenses beechwood and Scott. So I don't see why can't holy cross get CLOSE to 300 rushing yards vs Lloyds defense.

I think holy cross will have close to 300 yards rushing this game. Don't think Lloyd can stop Xavier Abernathy and Derrick Barnes.

Holy cross 21 Lloyd 20

Who wins and why?

Inquiring minds want to know. What was the price of admission?

Ryle- 35 Conner- 14

NCC 28 Lloyd 7

That's why we all have opinions. Good luck to HC the rest of the season, u guys played a great game.

Yessir good luck to Ncc rest of the way too.

Well Abernathy had a 76 yard td run, so other than that run he had 66 yards he wasn't contained?

Xavier also got 11 less carries than Jacob smith. Xavier also proved he was the best player on the field by how he played on defense too.

31 carries 208 yards 2 Tds with a 85 yard td called back.

Xavier- 19 carries 142 yards and 2 touchdowns and Pretty sure other than like 3 big runs holy cross contained smith that game.

xavier Abernathy was definitely the best player on the field in that game. Ncc couldnt stop him on offense or defense

I'd be really surprised if HC is within 20 points in this game.

i think holy cross defense will get a couple of INT in this game.
