Not the running clock that the geniuses predicted, but a resounding win for a really good team.  Hats off to FD.  Go win state!

Cov Cath 7th Grade won the championship tonight, 8-7, over Campbell Co.  Heckuva football game played by two pretty good teams.  Fun to watch.  

Great win for the Camels!

I don't see a single game rushing attempt record listed, but Cole Chadwick had 319 carries in 1998, so I'm guessing he had at least one game with 38+.

Quite possible.  
 

Note that CCH played 13 games in 1998, so an average of 24.5/game.  
 

Regardless, that was a lot of totes - reminiscent of the halcyon days of the Boone Co tailbacks.

Besides the center and QB, Cov Cath only had 3 players who touched the football on offense. Owen Leen with 37 carries for 150 yards and 1 TD and 4 receptions for 27 yards, Braylon Miller with 2 receptions for 38 yards and 1 TD (plus kick returns), and Willie Rodriguez with 5 receptions for 91 yards and 1 TD.

I wonder what the school record is for carries in a game?  I don’t recall a Colonel back with as many.  Great performance in a big game.

Eviston is now 7-1 vs Beechwood since arriving in Park Hills.  Only one of CCH’s victories during this time was by less than 17 points.  

Great win!  It was a lot of fun to watch the Colonels play tough, physical football and impose their will.  Sound game plan on both sides of the ball.  
 

Very satisfying win, on a multitude of levels.

Whatever…next man up.  No one feels sorry for CCH.  Hope he heals fast, but you gotta move on.  Big test on Friday.

Dixie avoids a 50 burger, at least until kickoff.

Fumble recovered by Dixie starter Xavier Gregg and is returned for a touchdown.

Dixie burns a timeout on the PAT.

Haha.  I see what you did, CWB.

It is for Dixie, yes.

And Cov Cath's QB Evan Pitzer went out in the first half. He's on the sideline on crutches. 

I guess it’s tough when you’re gettin smoked. Enjoy the whoopin, lil colonels.

Sounds very chippy.  Hope everyone comes out healthy.

There’s a beast in Ft Mitchell comin next week…

Running clock…stay healthy, both teams.  Live to fight another day.

Not expected.  

I’m a fan of traditional powers.  In my humble opinion, football in NKY/Greater Cincinnati is better when Moeller is a powerhouse.  Nice to see Princeton rising as well.  Princeton v Moeller used to be THEE game to see in Cincinnati.  Maybe we’ll see that matchup in the postseason, this year.

Happy for Coach Warner and the Boone Co kids.  He’s certainly worked very hard to bring energy, hope and purpose to the program.  Cool to see!

The beat goes on for CCH…

Congrats Coach Satz!  His run of 9th Region dominance continues.

The entire game changed when Sully went with Rondon at the point as he handled the pressure as well as anyone could against CCH pressure and then Cooper went to a zone and packed it in and NO ONE for CCH was interested in shooting an outside shot, not even Ipsaro.

…and apparently, NO ONE from Cooper was interested in scoring in the fourth quarter.

Hmmm… could you run that by me again?

Highlands likes to “turn it up” to 212 degrees - aka, water’s boiling point.

I guess it only got up to 211 degrees at NKU?

The defending State Champion is bounced by the Juggs.

My comment east because of anything more than protecting kids. CovCath no doubt will never be loved except by their own. They love that, and good for them. 
 

This photo proves my point. Games get out of hand and when you’re down that many points and when the other team stays on the gas, you could get this in return. On any play. It’s be a shame to have an unnecessary injury and stop your run…..

And I’m saying the coaches are well aware of the risks.  

“I’ve got a lot of problems with you people and now you’re gonna hear about it…”

Just spitballin...

Maybe, the coaches are well aware of the risks they're taking, regarding health and perception.  They've likely weighed those risks against the benefits derived from how they manage a game (and season).  

As far as the rest of NKY goes, let's be real honest; the list of grievances against CCH is almost limitless.  Let's not pretend that if CCH pulled all of their starters at the end of Q3, that CCH would suddenly be loved and lauded by all parts of NKY.
