Covington Catholic gets revenge for their defeat in the 2023 AAAA State Finals by handing Boyle County their first home loss in the playoffs since 1993.

Not that it matters but it's 2013.

Wow that was a good game to watch. Hats off to cov cath. That qb ran all over Boyle co. #0 going down for Boyle really hurt them on both sides
Of the ball. Huge upset!!

I’d say Corbin fans are smiling ear to ear right now.

Not me. I think Corbin/Boyle would have been the game of the year. Pissed that I don't get to go see it. Now, I'll never get my shirt.

Old School you still come this way let me know.  The shirt is still yours.

So happy to see this! Go Catholic!!!

Yeah Boyle Has Lost in the Playoffs Since Then

[Old School Hound]

What a game. A lot of folks in the stands at the Highlands game was watching it. Maybe Boyle was rooting their own horn a little too much.

They had every right to toot their horn. They were the best team in KY and a top 15 team in the country. Anything can happen on a given night in sports but this was an outlier. Boyle would still beat anyone in the state in a best of five series.

[Hound05]

I didn’t watch the whole game. I started in the 3rd qtr when they came over the loud speaker and announced the score…with that said, did they just run Q from the QB the whole game after brown went down? I know if it’s working stay with it. But, I thought boyle had weapons all over the field is why I’m asking.

Also, where they battling any injuries the past few weeks. It just seems like a tank that ran out of gas. A subpar performance against LCC (they were better than most give them, and yes I know the final score), and then tonight. Just trying to make sense of it all. Regardless, this class has won more rings than 99.5% ever will. That’s a feat.

I'm with you, this just doesn't make any sense to me, at all. I had this as a running clock by halftime or early third quarter. CC had less than 140 yds last week against the worst defense in the history of organized football, at any level. How does CC amass 400 yards against Boyle, whose defense looked stellar against a nationally ranked Ohio team ? Something is amiss here.

Maybe they were saving the good stuff for later in the season.

It's amazing to me how much southeastern Kentucky hates the entire rest of their state.

Hmmm…. Human error is part of HS football. Sometimes that’s what make it more exciting. Sometimes teams on the good end of, sometimes not. I can remember a slow mo last year of Corbin driving to tie it up and our RB jumped sideways and a defender with 3 points on the ground and got called for hurdling. There’s always going to be missed calls. We’ve been on the good end of it to.

for the others wanting replays during the games. It’s not possible at this point in time. Just the logistics of it especially for some of these small schools. even with the booth replay on this one, it wouldn’t have changed.  Now the fan video might have. Don’t get me wrong I wish they would. But the amount of resources it would take would be crazy for a HS game

[know1]

I'm not sure what that was. Credit to Cov Cath for pulling out the win. They deserved it and they outplayed Boyle. Which is interesting since they just ran almost every play and Boyle couldn't really stop them. I've never really seen that out of a Boyle team.

It's going to be real interesting to see how Haddix does without Quisenberry. The last few years, every time the going got tough or the game was close, he just started running the wildcat every play with Quisenberry. I said the same thing last year after the Corbin and Franklin Co games. If he's as good of a coach as everyone says, he shouldn't have to resort to that. Maybe Quisenberry is the biggest factor for their success in the last 3 seasons or so. Definitely the last 2.

[Bull got out!]

Im just curious as to what you would have done different with the game on the line and with a player like Q in your playbook? Especially when your other running back had an injury. Id like to hear the xs and os of it. Also, other than Corbin game last year with those twins on defense and this game last night, I don't recall any other game where Haddix just ran Q at wildcat and the game was on the line. There has only been two 3rd round games to where Boyle had a close game. I don't recall any other games that were close. Franklin County game was a blowout.

[Landsten88]

Well we knew going into this game Boyle had a subpar run defense. Cov cath exploited it. Boyle was running Quisenberry wildcat by the end of the game every play to save their season. The better team won tonight.

Nope. The better team doesn't always win. The better team lost. Boyle wins  95 out of 100 played between these two.

if you want to get honest both teams only have a few great players that they used every single play. As a fan of neither of the teams it was hilarious watching both teams run the same plays over, and over again because only a couple players were trusted

I'll be real honest with this statement. Its real easy after the outcome to come on BGR and post like Mike Tyson. But I don't recall anyone saying Covington Catholic was the better team anywhere in the Game predictions thread. Covington Catholic had a reason to outplay Boyle last night, they got blistered on the biggest stage last season and played with a chip on their shoulder. Boyle didn't look right. No where close. Not even a smudge of the team they were all season. You can call their run defense subpar all you want after they got beat. But I would have to pick Boyle in any game they faced. I did tell a person that Boyle cant have these slow starts and expect to get in a shootout and win a ballgame. You cant do that in the playoffs. I honestly was thinking Corbin would have given Boyle their best game and not Covington Catholic. But that is all the reason in the world to give Covington Catholic all the praise they earned last night. They went to Boyles house and outplayed the #1 team in the state and Class 4A. Im still stunned. My phone blew up last night with disbelief. They thought the score was wrong.

It’s easy to say that as an observer / fan but do you consider Phil Jackson a subpar coach for putting the ball in MJ’s hands when the game was on the line?

Boyle is obviously the better team but they didn’t play like the better team last night. I’ve been telling people for months that run defense wasn’t good for Boyle, so when cov cath decided to just run QB power all game I completely agreed clearly Boyle didn’t know how to stop it. I had no expectation Boyle would lose going into yesterday’s game but as I was watching I could see why they’d lose. 
you can’t put all of your trust into one or two players and always win. In the 4th quarter Boyle ran a wildcat sweep to the left with Quisenberry over 10 times in a row. The game turned into a battle of who at the QB position can run better as that’s all they did on both sides.

franklin will beat cov cath i believe which will set up a very cool final with hopefully Paducah

[know1]

I get that Quisenberry needs the ball very often in those situations, but the same play over and over? Come on.

But the terrible defense was the reason they lost this particular game.

[UK1]

I understand Haddix putting the ball in Quisenberry hands with game on the line. They couldn’t stop him. Also got to understand any player is going to be fatigued with that many carried in a row and a fumble can happen. Crazy stat is boyle only threw two passes. QB was 1-2 for 22 yds and that pass was a TD. That was a great high school game to watch.

[IAM22]

This was the first time I have seen CCH run that type of offense from the shotgun. The near/far system that Coach Eviston learned at Georgetown where he was the QB is what they run on short down and distance situations. To see them adjust it to run out of the gun was an awesome adjustment.

Woulds,Coulda,Shoulda are all excuses. Cov Catholic went to Boyle and won. Boyle County was obviously not the 15th best team in the country.

[BEChargers]

So there is nothing special about Haddix because he uses an almost generational talent too much?? You are in a dogfight and you can't stop them and you have a player that they can't stop, why would you not just keep doing the same thing? Did CC come out the second half throwing it all over the field? Boyle only stopped CC once. CC was like 5/5 on 4th down. The early fumble and inability to stop their run game was the difference in the game. Credit CC for their Oline play and toughness of that QB. They outplayed Boyle and won because of it.

Boyle seems to be better in your mind than they actually were. They had a terrible run defense that multiple teams were able to exploit and they had one player who saved them when things tough. Unfortunately, he wasn’t able to like he had in previous games last night.

 Can you show me this exploitation? I only see one team that actually won a game and it was a major upset. Major Upset.  If my memory serves me right, I have only seen Boyle give up more than 3 touchdowns 4 times in 5 years. They have lost 4 games being LCA, Lexington Catholic, Frederick Douglass, Covington Catholic and each of those teams had 3 different defensive coordinators because Hester I think was over the defense when LCA beat Boyle at Boyle, could be wrong though, and Burns the next two Lexington Catholic and Frederick Douglass and then this last game. So when Boyle gives up more than 28 points they are vulnerable to get upset and especially in a elimination game. I think in a sorta weird way, Boyle was just flat and still almost won this game and may have won if not for the play called a fumble. Also in the Lexington Catholic game Boyle lost, Haddix came with a play that went for a game winning touchdown but was called back because of a penalty.  If there is another loss, I can't remember it right off without looking. But I have to argue that this was just a odd night and kinda went along with the season that is unfolding, Pikeville, Central, Boyle, DuPont Manual, ST X, Male has went down in what could arguably be called the year of the upset. And I feel like we have only begun, because 2A and 5A is next. 

Also I'll add that Boyle give up 4 tds to Corbin in the finals and possibly a few more teams maybe Franklin County in the fist title game. I do remember those too. I forgot about them.

exploiting a weakness doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll win. Like I have said multiple times when I watched my Scott county cardinals play Boyle this season I knew before the game Boyle would struggle and I was correct as scott county had their way for most of the first half on run plays. I believe without Quisenberry Scott county would have won that game, but im not going to get into the what if BS. Point is, there was a definite weakness with this team and cov cath was able to hammer it.

I don’t really know if X was an upset Ryle is clearly the best team in 6A. Obviously most years it would be but this year Ryle was my pick all the way in that game

I'm a very unstable genius. In my very unstable, genius mind, Boyle was the best team in KY and would beat the Catholics like a rented mule if they played again. 49-14 Boyle if they played again next week. This game was a fluke. Flukes happen.

[Glory_Days]

After what I watched at Campbell Field tonight, I think Corbin /Boyle would have been a helluva game next week. Damn shame we don't get to see it.

You're such a waffler, slobbered all over the Rebels all year and how bad they'd beat everyone in 4A including Corbin. Now you want a shot at them and can beat them when you can't play them. Your shit is old and tiresome, the acronym OSH = (Old S@&% Hound) 

Several Raceland fans doing the same thing with Pikeville.

Maybe Quisenberry is the biggest factor for their success in the last 3 seasons or so. Definitely the last 2.

This is exactly what I was waiting to hear. Putting Quisenberry at QB and just running every play through him seemed to be the go-to and much like little league. Let the best player outrun everyone. It was working, so can't really argue, but the point being we didn't really see any "coaching". The offense wasn't necessarily the problem in this game.

The defensive side is where they got lambasted by the Covington Catholic staff. It was chess vs. checkers!! Also, worst tackling I've ever seen by a top tier team in a top tier game.
