St. Xavier or Colerain?
The ongoing question is whether St. Xavier or Colerain is the better football team at this point of the season. Yes, we're only in Week 7, but the look ahead toward the postseason is tempting.
St. X has had more national attention - and is ranked higher in most national polls. The Bombers have defeated top competition, including DeMatha (Md.), Louisville Trinity and Cleveland Glenville, not to mention a shut out of Elder last week.
But, Colerain is also nationally ranked. The Cardinals defeated Hoover (Ala.) 20-17 in overtime earlier this year and have been breezed through their schedule the past few weeks.
Also remember Colerain defeated the Bombers in the regional final last season at Nippert Stadium.
St. X hosts La Salle this Friday. The Bombers are 10-0 in GCL-South games over the past few seasons.
Colerain has won 25 consecutive regular-season games and over 50 GMC games. The Cardinals host Lakota West on Friday and will certainly be the favorites.
So I ask, which team would win the St. X-Colerain game if it were played this week? Feel free to leave your thoughts here.
