After close losses in its first two games, Covington Catholic steamrolled Simon Kenton, 62-15, on Friday for a victory the Colonels needed to get back on track like they did last season.

The Colonels got off to an 0-2 start last year and then won 11 straight to reach the semifinals of the Class 4A semifinals.

During that run, they scored 42 points or more in their first nine games, and the offense’s performance on Friday showed it has the potential to do the same.

CovCath ended up with 442 total yards (281 rushing, 161 passing) in the running clock victory over the Pioneers (2-1). In the second quarter, the Colonels scored 35 points to open up a 42-15 halftime lead and went on to post their highest point total since 2016.
