The Newport Central Catholic Thoroughbreds football team left a huge exclamation point on why it is the top Class 2A squad in Northern Kentucky.
For the
third consecutive playoff game, the Thoroughbreds (9-4) jumped out to a huge
lead and cruised to victory. They scored 28 points in the first quarter against
the Walton-Verona Bearcats (10-3) and never looked back in a 49-13 Region 3 championship win
Friday.
The
fourth-ranked Throughbreds won their seventh consecutive game and snapped the Bearcats’
eight-game winning streak. They’ve outscored opponents, 345-50 during the
winning streak, including 150-26 in the three playoff victories.
