Another huge game coming up this next week with Butler vs Catholic. I’m looking for it to be a good one. Any thoughts on this game.
Don’t want to see Butter in the playoffsButler has been out of the spotlight lately, but they showed against Weddington a few weeks back they are leaps and bounds better than what they were early in the season.
Pretty obvious key is if they can hold up against the Catholic run game for four quarters. These teams have had some classics the last couple of years, this could definitely be another one.
Ramir Watson is the QB at Rocky River. Coach McClamrock does a great job with QBs.Does butler need this win to get to the playoffs? Can they afford to lose 1 more game between Indy and Catholic?
I like the scheme and personnel changes butler has made on defense. They seemed to move some kids around. They did have 5-6 starters out vs rocky river and are down to their 3rd string JV QB playing with Lawrence and the back up missing multiple weeks. JV qb doesn’t have the same arm strength as the other 2 so it limits the offense.
Speaking of Rocky River…they have a sophomore QB who can be real good! I liked what I saw regardless of score.
They need to get one of these games, preferably Catholic to at least share conference if they lose to Independence. Not sure who will be ready for Friday because of the injuries. I haven’t seen this many injuries from a Butler team maybe since 04.Does butler need this win to get to the playoffs? Can they afford to lose 1 more game between Indy and Catholic?

Ouch. If they need to win one of these games, idk the probability of that with a 3rd string JV qb who is super limited. They also have 4-5 starters on defense that are banged up and have missed time…on top of not being the best run defense. Catholic may finally break through and beat butler, I think they are winless in school history.They need to get one of these games, preferably Catholic to at least share conference if they lose to Independence.

He will be special! I just wish rocky river had better talent bc he is not able to show his true prowess at RR…Ramir Watson is the QB at Rocky River. Coach McClamrock does a great job with QBs.
I felt that Lawrence was a sitting target in the offense. That scheme is optimal when you have dual threat QB. Since there isn’t the multiple formations and shifts that Butler traditionally uses, it made the tendencies easy to read. My understanding is the backup QB who plays another position got hurt in practice. The coach probably should’ve limited the back up just in case Lawerence is hurt.Ouch.

In Charlotte you never know what changes year to yearHe will be special! I just wish rocky river had better talent bc he is not able to show his true prowess at RR…
IF THEY CAN GET A WIN, is a big “if”. Catholic is going to line up and run it 100x and butler hasn’t stopped the run this season against good opponents. They are rotating a couple freshman in the front 7 at the moment.I felt that Lawrence was a sitting target in the offense. That scheme is optimal when you have dual threat QB.

If the coach can get a win, a bye will come next then Independence. Butler would go into that game and the playoffs with no pressure.
Freshmen?? What in the world is going on in Matthews?IF THEY CAN GET A WIN, is a big “if”. Catholic is going to line up and run it 100x and butler hasn’t stopped the run this season against good opponents. They are rotating a couple freshman in the front 7 at the moment.
If the JV qb has to play, I expect a lot of wildcat out of butler. Not a lot of kids want to tackle #5 from butler, he is a load to bring down.
The last several weeks its been injuries. The team isn’t deep this year so health is important. Not really a fan of the scheme but that’s another story for another day.Freshmen?? What in the world is going on in Matthews?
The CC football program may not be receiving much attention at the moment, but that is perfectly acceptable. It won't be long before the real strength of the team becomes evident. Congratulations to CC tonight and all Friday night winners.Cath 34

Final
That is their new turnover necklaces.Butler fans, what was with the coach holding the two toilet seats pregame? Was odd.
He was simply reminding them that they were about to get flushed down the toilet.Butler fans, what was with the coach holding the two toilet seats pregame? Was odd.
lol congrats to Catholic on finally beating butler 1st time in school history, long time coming.He was simply reminding them that they were about to get flushed down the toilet.
Darn. I’m of the opinion they should play in the larger divisions, but that is a whole different rabbit hole. I assume they are projected to be in classes 5 or 6 based on adm?Unless they petition to be in the 7-8a range they will more than likely not be in with Butler, et al.

How will Catholic's coaching adapt to the increased competition in 6A? Will they be able to maintain their winning momentum and harness their talent effectively against tougher opponents?lol congrats to Catholic on finally beating butler 1st time in school history, long time coming.
6A will be a lower classification actually.How will Catholic's coaching adapt to the increased competition in 6A? Will they be able to maintain their winning momentum and harness their talent effectively against tougher opponents?
It’s cool to see CC finally secure a victory over Butler; it has really been a milestone. This win could serve as a significant confidence boost for the team, especially as they gear up for the challenges ahead in 6A. The transition to a higher classification often brings tougher competition, but it also elevates the level of play, which can be beneficial for the athletes' development.
The depth of talent CC has on their roster is impressive. Just looking at their recent performances, it's clear that they have a strong mix of experience and athleticism that sets them apart. For instance, their standout players have consistently put up impressive stats, and their coaching staff has done a great job of maximizing their potential.
It’ll be exciting to see how they navigate this 6A transition!
6A will be a downgrade for CC. They will go back to challenging for 4 A ships. IMHO they should play in the largest state division as a private school with no boundaries.How will Catholic's coaching adapt to the increased competition in 6A?

You mean 3AA, if you subdivide it comes out to old 3AA.6A will be a downgrade for CC. They will go back to challenging for 4 A ships. IMHO they should play in the largest state division as a private school with no boundaries.
Yeah a downgrade. No boundaries is a huge advantage. CC needs to play at the highest level to maintain fair play.You mean 3AA, if you subdivide it comes out to old 3AA.

Boundaries don't exist anymore lol see Weddington and the kids they're hauling in from all over.Yeah a downgrade. No boundaries is a huge advantage. CC needs to play at the highest level to maintain fair play.
It’s clear that the dynamics of school boundaries are shifting, and the influx of students from various areas is a significant factor. Like CC14 mentioned above, Weddington High School really illustrates this point well; they have managed to attract a diverse student body from multiple neighborhoods, counties or out of state lol, which can enhance the overall educational experience.Yeah a downgrade.
