CAL could absolutely win Friday night, and run the table. They did lose to Mercer, and I don't want to take anything away from Mercer, but CAL has been dealing with some injuries. I can't state enough for you who aren't familiar with both teams due to us being new to 3A, but I could imagine some of our old 2A buddies can back me up when I say this is a pretty intense rivalry. I've said it before, mutual respect, mutual dislike. We have been each other's thorn in the side. In the last five years, we won two state titles, they won two state titles. DeSales is considered the blue collar hard nosed team from the South End, CAL the white collar elites from the East end. You kind of have to be a little familiar with Louisville to get the reference, but you get the jest of it. A few years ago some students from CAL put a picture of our guys coming out of the sewers to come over to their east end palace. That's the kind of rivalry this game is.

I think Desales should win but with the rivalry I am sure this is going to be a great game and will probably be close. Who other than Babin has been hurt for CAL? What major contributors did they lose other than Wright from last years state championship team?
