Tampa Catholic vs  #5 CCC

2013…

Tampa Catholic leads the all time series 23-15-1. The “cross the bridge” rivalry has been pretty good with wins swinging in each direction.

If you are a history person, the numbers say TC will win this game because since 2000, the winner of the games wins multiple times in a row before the opposition gets a Win. 2011 and 2012, CCC was victorious. Last season, Tampa Catholic pulled it out. According to the stats from 2000, TC is due another victory before CCC gets one.

2009 49-13 Tampa Catholic
2010 14-0 Tampa Catholic
2011 24-17 CCC
2012 27-7 CCC
2012 10-7 (PO) CCC
2013 13-10 Tampa Catholic

Glad we don’t base future victories off past victories. These two teams will meat again at 7:30 pm tonight and as it has been well documented, Tampa Catholic will be without Nate Craig and BCP Xecutives Standout Bentlee Sanders, sidelined due to injury. Who holds the advantage?

QB – CCC
Jeff Smith is a veteran with plenty of snaps under his belt.

RB – CCC
If CJ Cottman is 100%, it is debatable if there is a better RB in Pinellas.

WR – CCC
Experienced group of productive players.

OL – CCC
This group returns 4 of the 5 starters from last year’s 3A state runner up team.

DL – TC
Malik Barrow in the middle and length on the outside, good group.

LB – TC
Expect Cody Endris and company to have a big game.

DB – TC
Even without Bentlee Sanders, this group still has BCP Xecutive S Devan Barrett and others who will make plays

K – Tie
