Charlotte Catholic vs Palisades 11/22
- Thread starter Vik-Val 86

Game was not as close as the score. PR got a goofy deflection off a pass that should have been picked and took it to the house late in the 4th quarter. Catholic also probably knocking off a little rust. Previous game was three weeks ago. A time to heal up but game sharpness can diminish. PR is also a good team despite their record. They got blown out by Weddington but so did many others. All of their other losses were close. A play here or there would have earned them a higher seed. Catholic survives and moves on. Next round is at home against Palisades, a new school still developing a program but having some quick success. On paper, Catholic should win and I expect them to be a little sharper this coming Friday. Happy to be in Round 2.
We lead most of the game and if not for a fluke late TD it would've been a 24-14 game.
Either way far from a convincing performance against an opponent that is 5-6.
Palisades’ defense is legit. Offense leaves a lot of be desired, but defense plays this time of the year, especially. Coach Simmons had to wait a long time for his shot as HFC. Happy he’s seeing some results.
Toss-up.
Toss-up.
It doesn’t matter if it’s a convincing win or not. You win and advance, that’s all that matters.
Page turned Palisades over 5 times and was up 3-0 (after missing 2 FG attempts) with 3 mins left in the 4th quarter. Palisades defense kept them in the game. If Page had some more experience and season on O, the game wouldn't have been close. For a 3-7 team that everyone said shouldn't even be in the playoffs, they were pretty darn close to beating one of the 4A conference champions. I think Palisades record is inflated. I also think CC wins this one going away.
