CovCath and Highlands fans reaching an odd, never before seen concordance and kumbaya. I didn't remember when NC made their move out of 3A So Sir, as you said, we are both right. And may we both be celebrating state championships in December.

Newport Catholic was in that sub district with Highlands, Scott, and Newport also.

You all have talked about recruiting and how college coaches hear about good players. How do college coaches hear about interior offensive linemen? They don’t have the flashy stat numbers like yds, tds, tackles, int, et cetera.

Back in the early 80’s, CovCath was the second game of the regular season. After the Dayton opener and before NewCath. So it’s been a minute.

The scores are lopsided because the #1 seeds are crushing the #4s. The answer is obvious. Keep the #1 seeds out of the playoffs. Yeah, you read that right. 3 plays 4 because those are more competitive, 2 gets a bye

Now it’s over.

Scott County fields onside kick cleanly on the Birds 46.

1:49 sorry

Not quite over. Birds score on a Benke keeper. 29-23 with about 1:30 left.

Field goal wide left!

In my view, as great as that 1982 team was, one of its overlooked contributions was the beginning of the transition to CCH as our biggest rival.

Nice and sunny at the Fort right now.

I drove 400 miles to catch this game tonight. A little walk will remind me of 40 seasons ago.

That’s fair.

Bulleit is a pretty boring bourbon in my book.

Okay, these aren’t rings, but these pendants (?) were given to the state football champs in 1981 and 1982. That’s not tarnish but the decayed foam that was in the box packaging.

Final 42-7

Camels just ran it in, about 7 minutes left in the game. Kick makes it 42-7.

#7 to #29 for a 70 yard touchdown pass. Kick makes it 42-0.

End of 3rd. Birds 35-0.

Birds hold the Camels to three and out to open the second half, then score on their first possession of the half. Kick makes it 35-0.

Birds driving at the end of half but time ran out. 28-0

28-0. Pick 6 for an easy score. About a minute in the half

Birds still running everything out of shotgun?

First runner-up gets the Trinity gig?
