Cathedral Prep had a great team last season, but lost to Conneaut Area Senior High in the D-10 champ. game 14-7, with Conneaut scoring with about 10 seconds left. Game was played in the snow and ice on the field at Edinboro Univ. with temps in the upper 20's. Prep had their share of miscues and Conneaut played more determined/fundamental ball. Mainly it was Conneaut's dual threat QB Hunter Merritt, running left, right, up the middle, with a just a few passes mixed in.
The same teams just met in an area 7x7 champ game, with Prep winning 30-0 even though they have a new starter at QB and lost several players to Power 5 conf. teams.
Prep routinely has an 80 player roster, so lots of depth, and they have great facilities (indoor practice facility, etc). I expect them to field another top team, but they probably won't quite have the athletes that Wakulla, Florida will have, and the heat and humidity should get to them. Game is in Orlando, FL.
Big game for a first time starting QB of Prep, but it's the head coach's son.
