Covington Holy Cross quarterback Kyle Fuller threw four touchdown passes as the Indians won the Class 2A title with a 33-14 victory over previously unbeaten Glasgow Friday night in WKU’s L.T. Smith Stadium.

Eric Walker caught two of Fuller’s TD tosses to give Holy Cross a 12-7 halftime lead. Lamar Chames turned a short pass from Fuller into a 62-yard TD play midway through the third quarter to make it 19-7. Fuller’s 18-yard TD pass to Burt Pouncy early in the fourth quarter pushed the Indians’ lead to 26-19.

Glasgow’s Parker Pash ran 14 yards for a score with 9 minutes left to trim the deficit to 26-14, but there was no more of a comeback. Holy Cross sealed its victory when Devyn Herndon returned an interception 14 yards for a TD in the closing minutes.

Glasgow, state runner-up for the fourth time, was led by Jalen Sublett’s 79 yards rushing, including a 28-yard TD in the first quarter. Cash ran for 72 yards and passed for 120.

Holy Cross was led by on defense by Paul Lampone, Adam Kozerski and Justin Kohake.

Indians Coach Bruce Kozerski, a former standout center with the Cincinnati Bengals, said leading this high school team to a state title was a good as anything he ever experienced in the NFL.

“I enjoyed every minute I played, but to be part of this and coach this group of players to this height is just a tremendous feeling. I’ll remember this moment forever.”

This was Holy Cross’ first championship game. The Indians didn’t start a football program until 1998.
