Freshman starting WR Chase Kuerchen will not play against Dekalb because he was ejected in the Alcoa game and by rule will not be able to play this week

Wishful thinking on my part. I'm sure those guys are going to bigger programs. Good luck in the playoffs.

It sounds like with all the injuries to Catholic DC may have a great chance to pull the upset. What type of run defense does KC have. Our strength is Milan #20 our RB.

Being in quad 2 does help Catholic as far as possible advancement but we have to get healthy. I'm hearing that some of our injured players will be back for Friday's game so that will help out a lot. But if we take this game, or any game lightly and play with no focus, then it's basketball season.

Any team can pull an upset but Catholic's defense has been their strength. Alcoa scored 49 points but 28 was off turnovers. The Irish secondary has 20 interceptions and has scored 5 pick 6 this season. They are like a plus 16 in turnover margins. Their losses are to three very very good teams (Anderson County the district 3AAA champions, Webb whose won 2 of 3 state titles and Alcoa winner of 7 of the last 9 state 3A titles) Alcoa is also the last team to beat Fulton. Catholics defense is physical and they have athletes.

Catholics defense is their strength. Offensively their struggling a bit but with a QB who has played RB the entire year that's going to happen. With their starting QB back they'll be back in business offensively. I did see on Friday that Catholic lost another starter on offense with one of their offense lineman going down with an ankle injury and didn't return. Hopefully everyone is healthy and catholic can make some noise in the playoffs! Good luck to Dekalb and safe travels to their fans,players, and coaches!

Aaron Patterson received minor injuries in a car wreck Saturday and was taken to the hospital by family members. It dont sound like it was anything to serious that would effect him being able to play in this game.

Allenboy, so ur QB will be back for Dekalb. How many games did he play this year before getting hurt. Runner or passer first. Thx

[Allenboy16]

Stealer007, played 7.5 games.. He missed the second half of the scott county game and missed the last two games. QB is a thrower and he had more then 1100 yds this year(first year playing QB) and 11 TDS and 4 Int with two of those being on Hail Marys. He can also run. He's a big kid too 6'2 190. And I'm not sure if he'll play in this game but it's a strong possibility he will.
