i like to assume that it will be a great matchup. Then if it is close you are prepared, and if it is a blow-out then oh well i was wrong with a big smile on my face.
this cov cath team has been studying film on the birds for weeks now. Highlands D had their hands full last time. I think a very close game is on a high probability.

As have Highlands, they have watched film of every one of their games this year. I think the D will be ready.

the D will be ready, but that covcath OLine is for real. not to mention a couple of key birds will not be playing.
it will either be close in the first 2 qrts and Highlands steadily pulls away for a 2-4 TD win.
or it will be a slugfest of offenses ending close by a TD or FG.
If Highlands stays clear of adding up mistakes and turnovers they should win.

Highlands does have some injuries. Luckily there are capable replacements. I look for Highlands to keep scoring on almost every series. It's hard to beat a team that you can't stop. I also look for Highlands to do a better job defensively this game. If Highlands doesn't turn the ball over they win. Highlands will get about 8-9 posessions this game. It depends on what they do with those opportunities.

That is true they were very good especially in pass protection. Ashland was able to make a couple stops in the backfield for the running game but I don't remember us hitting the qb all night.

Didn't the Birds have around 10 penalties for 120 yards friday against JC? They can't do that against Cov Cath or it will be bye bye birdies. Hopefully both teams come out prepared to play their best game.

I think the run blocking was better than the pass blocking from the rushing stats.
every time they ran a run play im guessing everyone got their block cause I think Grey had multiple super long TD runs. dont know exact stats...

Oh the run blocking was good I didn't mean that as a criticizement but as good as the run blocking was and how good Ashlands pass rush had been the pass blocking was flawless.

It wasn't taken that way. My comment was not directed at Ashland as much as it was to reply to the posters question about the line being OK after injuries. CCH, just like any of the teams that played this weekend would not be 2 weeks into the playoffs if they could not fill-in for injuries. Every team has them.

im going with cov cath in this rematch. they know how to play highlands now. all they gotta do is contain towels in the run game. his passing game isnt that effective but he can burn it up on the ground. all they have to do is have the de's contain him and cov cath wins.

Have you seen Highlands lately? Towles has not been running very much since the Elder game.

Yeah, it is down right foolish to say PT's passing is ineffective. He slices up secondaries. Plus he has some crazy good weapons. You should check out his stats (they are for playing only the first half for most games).
All Cov Cath has to do is keep him off the field to win.

Wow, you're obviously a student of the game. You're right, of course. PT ran all night long against JC because his passing game is so ineffective. It was so bad that it was embarrassing, squeaking his way to 400+ yards. I'll bet UK makes a linebacker out of him after this performance.:drooling::gtfo:

yeah the elder game was only 3 games ago, highlands has only played three close games this year, well you cant count boyle as a close game so we'll say two. so against cov cath he was 8/14, and elder he went out early so we cant count that. if highlands wants to win, towles need to be almost perfect in passing.

Highlands by two to three td's... Cov Cath will see a different defense than they saw in the first game and as much as I hate to see Ozzie get hurt they have other players that can fill in. I just hope Towles can complete a pass, apparently he's been struggling this year???

Oh, you saw "TowEls" play then. The HHS QB is "TowLes". You obviously saw the wrong QB and that explains how incredibly wrong your post is.

I saw patrick play last year as a junior and he was the best qb I've ever seen then I can only imagine now. Didn't Chris Collinsworth say he makes throws that some guys in the NFL don't make? Coming from a guy that played with boomer essiason and Ken Anderson I'd say he would know an effective qb when he sees it.

My original thought after reading this comment was "What is this person smokin'?" but thought I must have read it wrong. Upon reconsideration, I am convinced that they have been out of touch with KY HS football for quite some time.
