Covington Holy Cross got the biggest win in school history by beating defending 2A champ Newport Central Catholic 24-21, avenging a 31-14 loss to the Thoroughbreds a few weeks ago. Kyle Fuller threw for two TDs, ran for a TD and kicked a game-winning 32-yard field goal with 10 seconds left to give the Indians the region title. NewCath beat Holy Cross in 16 of the previous 17 meetings. The Indians' other win came in the 2006 regular season, but NewCath won the rematch in the playoffs that year. Holy Cross Coach Bruce Koserski, a former standout center for the Cincinnati Bengals, said last week's win was the ultimate tribute to John Wysong, who started the Indians' program in 1998. Koserski was Wysong's assistant before taking over as head coach in 2004. Wysong died in 2004, but his spirit lives on. "He's still a huge part of what goes on here," Koserski said. "He lives within these kids' lives, and certainly in the way I approach the game. With all my past football experience, it's crazy, but a lot of it comes back to what he taught me." How would Wysong have reacted to last week's upset of NewCath? "He'd be in his glory, laughing and yukking up a storm," Koserski said.
