[Shogun]

I haven’t watched a lot of Somerset this year, but from what I saw Hughes and Cimala seemed to be the two biggest offensive threats, and both are back next year. If they can get a good QB they could be dangerous for the next few years because as others have said, the middle school teams appear to be loaded. 6th grade won state didn’t they?

As for this game, Somerset had a great game plan to keep the OC offense off the field and just kept grinding out long drives. If they could have kept OC from scoring before the half it may have been a completely different game. In the end the better team won but Somerset made them fight for every inch. Reminded me a lot of the 2018 semifinal game against CAL where Somerset had them on the ropes until right before the half when the game got away from them.

I expect a shootout in the finals. Owensboro Catholic can score, but from what I saw tonight I don’t think they’ll stop Beechwood. I think it will be a lot like last year’s championship game between OC and Mayfield. This was my first time watching OC this year and they are very good, but this team misses Tutt Carrico. He was a threat every time he touched the ball and I don’t know that they have someone at that level.
