Given their disadvantage in the MaxPreps national rankings, Montgomery County should expect quite the challenge on Friday. They will take on Covington Catholic in the second round of the playoffs . The stakes are high as both teams are all in, each fighting to extend its postseason success.
Last Friday, Covington Catholic put the finishing touches on their ninth blowout victory of the season. They took the matchup with ease, bagging a 49-0 victory over Woodford County. That looming 49-point mark stands out as the most commanding margin for Covington Catholic yet.
Meanwhile, Montgomery County might be getting used to good results now that the team has three wins in a row. It was just another Friday night under the lights for Montgomery County, who beat Dixie Heights 35-28. This was a playoff game, so the win was all the more important for Montgomery County (and all the more bitter for Dixie Heights).
Their wins bumped Montgomery County to 9-2 and Covington Catholic to 11-0. Since neither squad is a stranger to landslide victories this season, you'd better bet it will be hard-fought showdown.
