Covington Catholic advances to state final

SOMERSET, Kentucky – Covington Catholic rolled through Pulaski County, 36-14, to advance to the state finals.

Covington Catholic’s Caleb Jacob contributed to three of the four first quarter touchdowns Friday night. He threw a 59-yard touchdown strike to Luke Summe on the opening drive, a 55-yard scoring pass to Jack Coldiron, and ran one in a quarterback keeper.  The Colonels had a four-touchdown lead before the game was out of the first quarter.

Casey McGinness was the other Colonel responsible for a first quarter touchdown, and he scored his second touchdown in the second quarter to make it a 36-0 lead after Jacob threw a two-point conversion to Casey McGinness. The senior back led the team with 70 rushing yards.

Jacob completed seven-of-eight passes for 161 yards.

Pulaski County scored a touchdown in the third quarter and fourth quarter, but that is how close they would be able to cut the deficit before running out of time.
