Covington Catholic was completely dominated by Scott County for 30 minutes, and the defending state champions still almost survived.

The highly anticipated first round Sweet 16 matchup did not live up to expectations until the final two minutes. Down 19 points with 1:34 remaining, Cov Cath went on an 18-0 run in the final 1:11 to have a chance to win.

Even though they did not keep their composure throughout that final stretch, Scott Coutny made the smart play when it mattered most. Following Grant Disken’s three-pointer, Cov Cath was slow to get back on defense.
