Three Blind Mice

They are the most athletic team in the 9th by a lot. Isabel O'Brien is worth the price of admission.

Holy Cross beat Ballard in a head-to-head. Ballard is 11. Why even vote if you aren't paying attention?

They don't even watch games....

I stated this in another thread. When you take into account the setting in the park, actual parking now, the track, the colors, the jumbotron, it is the best soccer complex for high school that I've been to.

NewCath loses to Holy Cross biggly, but then beats Highlands in 5 three days later. Holy Cross goes 5 with Beechwood but get smoked by NDA a week later. Volleyball is a wild sport in regards to match-ups. I love it.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Pabst is Julian Edelman 2.0. EVERYTHING is similar from the lean to change direction, to the freakish small space mobility, to hitting way bigger than he is.

It will take a SPECIAL team to stop this Beechwood offense. I don't see anyone in 2A able to do that.

Ooof

Are they still 2A? Good to be out of that district for sure though.

I'm not in the "know" in regards to streaming and the like for schools. What I do know, however, is that Raceland's video production is insane. The play-by-play is great. They have a great highlight splice and the Coach's Show is well conducted. Whoever is running that needs a raise.

It MAY impact depth, but it isn't impacting the better players. Those that move the dial will be Colonels until St. Henry is out of Beechwood's District.

The opportunity to win a state championship and have scouts see you is INFINITELY better at CovCath. St. Henry needs to get into 3A as quickly as possible. Getting shellacked by Beechwood every year will not get the players on the fence to attend there. In 3A, they can grow without a regional enrollment rival (yes, Lloyd is very close, but they aren't attracting the same group). The path to a state title in 3A is way easier than it is in 2A.

This is gonna be rough. . Conner was a good lead up to this game. QB that likes to pass out of system, strong running back. Raceland's line is better than Conner's, so we will see how that all goes. NewCath is starting more of a pocket presence with Hurtt out this week. Fennell looked composed in his first action. Gary Rowland averages about 10 yards/carry and 25 yards per kick return as a Freshman. I expect to see him starting to get 1st team reps as the season progresses. Teaming him with Van and Phoenix Hundemer gives NewCath a home run threat to go with those slashers. One concern for the Breds is keeping Raceland's QB in the pocket. From the PRP and Pikeville games, Raceland's passing game really flourishes when he gets a chance to extend plays while looking for receivers. He hasn't really passed in time, so to speak, so maybe NewCath can slow the attack just by making him be a pocket passer. The other main concern is tackling. #5 will require 3 guys to the ball on every carry and pass he gets. He's definitely a man out there.

As a NewCath fan, I am VERY cognizant of were the team is...now. This will be a tough year, for sure. That said, tonight I saw parts moving in the right direction. You get the running clock, you understand that there are a bunch of coachable moments. You don't always get glimpses of what will be. Missed tackles and blown assignments will be coached. TB has guaranteed that. The talent that is developing is exciting. Get your licks in for a couple of more weeks. Conner earned that butt whooping. However, pin this post. Within three years, NewCath take 1A again.

His senior season was 1997, so 96 or 97?
