Covington Catholic shocked the Bluegrass with a 31-28 upset victory over Boyle County; a team that by many was regarded to be the top team in the state regardless of class. The Colonels were able to run valuable minutes off the clock and slow down the high octane Rebel defense. Boyle County was also hampered by the loss of star Demauriah Brown who left the game with an injury in the first quarter. Despite all this Boyle County led by Montavin Quisenberry took a 28-24 lead until Owen Pitzer scored on a two yard run and Ryan Urti tacked on the extra point to give Covington Catholic a 31-28 lead with 5:24 left in the game. However ther game was not over as Boyle County marched down the field and Montavin Quisenberry went from inside the 20 yard line to the one before fumbling the ball into the end zone resulting in a touchback to give Covington Catholic the ball back with a little more than two minutes left on the clock. The Colonels buoyed by a long run by QB Cash Harney was able to run out the clock and earn the victory.
