I see that Somerset's (or Pulaski County) local paper has already built in the excuse that Somerset is playing a private school, and how unfair it is. Hilarious. Same arguments, same conspiracy theorists, different year.

Fall back excuse if (when) they lose. NewCath wins this one. They too have had many injuries throughout this season. But all are back and ready for Action. The senior leadership on this team is one of great inspiration. They are true leaders, on and off the field. Some on here talk about how other teams have had to fight to get to the playoffs, well NewCath had fought hard also to get to where they are now. People have counted NCC out because they stated the season 1-4, which were against 4,5, and 6A schools. When public schools lose against private schools, there are always those who complain and use the excuse that they lost because they played a private school, instead of admitting they got beat by a better team.

For the record, I wouldn't count coach Wagner out, just because Eddie Eviston isn't the one calling the plays, doesn't mean anything. The coaches NCC have now are the same coaches they had the past 3 years, only difference is who is at the helm. Coach Eviston didn't win those 2 state championships, the players did, with the backing of all the coaches that are still there except Eviston.
