This should be a great matchup. It's interesting about saying this is one of Havelock's best teams ever. Some in the know, have suggested this is Catholic's best team ever. Is all this just hype? It remains to be seen. Havelock will have their hands full as well. One thing not mentioned much but worth mentioning, is Catholic just came down this year from 4A. Their head coach, Mike Brodowicz, is in his fourth season. Under his leadership, Catholic has gone 57-4. This is their third trip to the state finals, the other two being in 4A. This is their first in 3A. Two of their losses, were in 2015, to Mallard Creek 40-21 and New Bern 23-15. In 2016 to Charlotte Christian 20-13 and Dudley 21-10. I'm looking forward to this game between two state signature programs. Good luck to both teams.
