I totally agree with you about wanting to play the game. Fact of the matter is, financially, logistically, and include administrative conflicts, it just wasn't going to happen. People think because NCC is a parochial school they have endless resources, it's quite the opposite. Besides tuition, (of our own choice) we get nickled and dimed every week for something. The families paid for the kids to make the trip to Ashland. The cost of a second trip, overnight stay, meals, etc just wasn't going to happen, end of story. I would assume most of the replayed games played had no where near the logistics involved as this game. I understand schedules have been finalized for next season already. It would have been nice for this rivalry to be extended for one more year. As I've stated in other posts, I would like to see Baker play because I think he is an exceptional back. Now I'll get to do is read about him in the paper .

Excellent post. Most who are associated with the government schools have no idea of the restraints placed on private schools. We have no bottomless pit of money known as the tax coffers. We must raise our own money and we pay hefty tuitions. And, through property taxes and income taxes, we subsidize the government schools while receiving no benefit from it. That is our choice. Actually, the benefits far outweigh the negatives. We are not burdened by all this liberal crap coming out of Washington and Frankfort.
