Columbia-Catholic
Knowing the fact the Crusaders were suppose to have the best team around, I was looking for scores in the 70s. Myself and many others were predicting a night of disaster.
But it really wasn’t. While Friday’s game wasn’t a classic, it was still a good effort by the Tide, one they can be proud of and use as a steppng stone for their final two games of the regular season and the playoffs.
The Tide continued its improvement against Catholic.
Catholic, despite putting 49 points up on the scoreboard, didn’t dominate the game as man expected.
If Columbia doesn’t give the Crusaders two short fields to work with and converts two fourth and less than an inch, the game may have been a different story.
Would Columbia had won, probably not, but the outcome may have been a lot closer.
And no, I wasn’t drinking anything before the game. Catholic didn’t crush Columbia like many had thought. I sure the Catholic people would say otherwise, but so be it.
The fact that they had 60 plus players and Columbia barely enough for two teams might have had something to do with it.
Catholic didn’t drive the field up and down like some of the Tide opponents did earlier this season. In fact over the last three weeks, no team has really gone up and down the field against the Tide as will.
Columbia, with a variety of trick plays kept Catholic off balance on offense.
The Tide plays its final home game tomorrow night against Pequea Valley. Its a game they should dominate. They close the regular season next week against rival Donegal.
If all goes well, the Tide should have some momentum heading into the playoffs, where their likely first round opponent will be the best team in the state, Steel-High.
Like I said last week on line, I’m usually pretty upset if Columbia loses to Lancaster Catholic. Friday I was not because I thought the kids played well.
It also didn’t help matters that there were a couple of questionable calls, one that killed a Tide drive and another that kept a Catholic drive going.
Here’s hoping the home stands will be packed for the final time on Friday. I know they won’t be, but at least I can wish it.
The Tide played well despite some big odds last week and should use that to build on.

HA!
Columbia fans make me laugh.
Get ready for a many more years of domination at the hands of Lancaster Catholic!
(Until they close your pathetic school district)
Soon Pequea Valley will pass you by!
