Big game in Monroe on Friday night in Monroe as Catholic looks to get a 7-0 start and 3-0 conference start. Sun Valley may or may not be without starting QB Sam Howell who hurt his shoulder vs Weddington. I was told he did not play in Sun Valley's win over Parkwood last week.
If Howell is not 100% I don't think that bodes well for Sun Valley, CC's front 7 is nasty this year and their pass rush will be on top of him all night long. Looking at the film of the Weddington game Howell is very good and can move, but with that shoulder not being at 100% you have to wonder how ready he is.
I'm trying to figure out if Howell will even play but all my Union County guys in the know suddenly know nothing.
The Cougars on offense again looked very good a week ago punting I believe only once when the first team offense was on the field. They shredded a decent Weddington team on the ground and through the air with Chris Walton throwing for 202 yards and 2 touchdowns.
Milan Howard is as good as they come, how more colleges are not offering him is truly beyond me, but those offers will come soon enough.
On defense, Catholic looks very very good. They're giving up an average of seven points per game and has still only been scored on once when the first team D is on the field since week 1.
This week will test Catholic, but I truly think if the pass rush continues to play like they have these past two weeks this game can get ugly very quickly especially if Howell does not play.
I am looking for Catholic to expose the weakness in Sun Valley's defense and tire them out as the game goes on.
I can honestly see this game turning into a running clock if Catholic is on their game.
