The LINK nky Team of the Week for Oct. 13-Oct 19 presented by Ortho Cincy is the Covington Catholic soccer team.
The Colonels left the competition far behind capturing nearly 60% of the total votes.
A bonus for the Covington Catholic soccer team is that they are now eligible for Team of the Season (TOS) for the fall. There will also be a winter and spring winner. Each TOS winner will receive a $500 scholarship that will go to an athlete of their choice and they will then be considered for Team of the Year (TOY). Voting will take place for that after each season.
For the team that is awarded TOY, online and print articles will again be published, a large commemorative plaque will be presented and the school will receive an additional $500 scholarship to be presented to the athlete of their choice at the end of the school year. The call for nominations, voting and winning announcement for each will follow the same format as the TOTW.
COVINGTON CATHOLIC SOCCER
The Colonels delivered an unforgettable season.
As the season-long favorite for the 9th Region title, they opened their tournament journey with a commanding 6-1 victory over Newport Central Catholic and kept their momentum going with a 4-2 semifinal win against the two-time defending champion, Ryle.
The Colonels capped off their run by delivering on expectations with a 3-1 victory over Highlands in the championship game, securing their first region title since 2021.
Riding the wave of an eight-game winning streak into the first round of the state tournament, the Colonels faced a hard-fought 2-1 defeat to Henry Clay, concluding their remarkable season with a 16-6-4 record.
