It is
fitting for the district champions to meet for the Class 2A, Region 3 football
championship Friday at 7 p.m. at Newport Stadium.
The host
and fourth-ranked Newport Central Catholic Thoroughbreds (8-4) and
Walton-Verona Bearcats (10-2) bring respectable records to the table thanks to
nice winning streaks. The District 6 champion Thoroughbreds have won six
straight since starting the year 1-3. The District 5 champion Bearcats have won
eight in a row since starting the season 2-2.
Both teams
also run similar offenses and defenses. They like to run spread offenses that
look like Wing-T formations as times and 4-4 defenses.
