Marquee game in C1 for the opening weekend. Both teams breaking in new QBs and both teams have a All-Class All-State caliber lineman. Both teams have veteran, championship coaches who have teams with a nice mix of veteran players and some newcomers getting their first primetime game experience. Obviously Catholic will rely heavily on Kautz, but it will be interesting how they work the transfer RB into the game plan. Neuman will have the same name, but a new face at QB with Eli Vedral, who some have said maybe a better football player than his brother, so some of their other losses at RB and receiver might be harder to replace. Catholic will be young on defense, but Neumann will have new starters at some skill positions on offense, so that matchup will be one to watch.
I'll give Catholic the slight edge in this game in Norfolk, 22-16.
