Lets stop calling this a rivalry, or even a game for that matter.

It seems Highlands has a bigger worry with Johnson Central every year.
Cov Cath will never make it out of the region as long as Highlands still has a football team. This annual game has become a joke.

The first quarter was really close... Birds just made a few pivotal turnover plays, deflated the Colonels and piled on some more TDs... The Bird D looked really good. Cov Cath's D looked good early too. Cov Cath made some big plays but blew some red zone opportunities with poor coaching decisions.

Next round Cov Cath will be better prepared and pissed off... Like always the score in the regional will be closer. The worst thing about the game for the Colonels I saw was that they gave up... you could see it in the body language and energy... They cant do that if they want to win this game.

It is still a rivalry and both teams buy into it and are pumped for this game every year.... in the next couple years (maybe this year) Cov Cath will get over the hump a few times and even it out a bit.
