Well, we are just 3 days away from the kickoff of the 2008 season. This season begins the same way the last one ended, with a big matchup against St. X. However, this matchup is different in so many ways from last years playoff meeting. Both teams are trying to replace 18 starters and both teams are very inexperienced and young. Even with that, this is still the most intriguing matchup in the tri-state this weekend and will be a great barometer of where both teams stand.
St. X is coming off winning their second state title in three years, while the Cardinals are coming off another unbeaten regular season, with their only loss being to St. X in the playoffs. Over the last 3 seasons this matchup has replaced Colerain-Elder as the marquee matchup in local Division 1 football.
This game should be a great test for the young Cardinals and what better way to start off the season against St. X.
