The Enquirer - 1st season 'awesome' for Cards' coach
Quote:
While a great season continues for St. Xavier, another has ended for Colerain and first-year head coach Tom Bolden.
Following Colerain's 29-14 loss to St. X in the Division I, Region 4 championship game Friday at Nippert Stadium, Bolden reflected on his first season at the helm of the Cardinals.
"I couldn't ask for anything more," he said. "Well, I guess I could ask for more - beating St. X. But it was an awesome experience. The kids were great. Unfortunately, my heart goes out to my 36 seniors."

By Tom Groeschen • tgroeschen@enquirer.com • August 22, 2008
St. Xavier and Colerain are the reigning behemoths of local high school football, and their ongoing testosterone war takes center stage in a season opener tonight.
The defending state champion Bombers (15-0 last year) will face the Cardinals (12-1) in a Skyline Chili Crosstown Showdown game at UC's Nippert Stadium at 8:15 p.m. The programs have combined to win three of the past four Division I state titles (Colerain 2004, St. Xavier 2005 and '07).
St. Xavier is ranked No. 1 and Colerain No. 2 in the preseason Enquirer Division I area coaches' poll. Nationally, St. Xavier is rated No. 18 by USA Today.

Colerain 13, St. Xavier 8
Colerain is still Colerain: No. 2 Cardinals hand No. 1 Bombers first defeat since '06
By Tom Groeschen ? tgroeschen@enquirer.com ? August 23, 2008
Colerain football players and coaches were pleased to pick up their Friday morning Enquirer, in which all the forecasters had picked the Cardinals to lose to St. Xavier.
Colerain proved itself alive and well in beating the Bombers 13-8 to open the season Friday night, as the Cincinnati superpowers battled before an estimated 15,000 fans at UC's Nippert Stadium.
"A bunch of people were doubting us," said Colerain senior offensive lineman Brandon White. "I think this will open a lot of eyes. It's a huge thing for us to show that Colerain football is still here."
St. Xavier is No. 1 in the Enquirer Division I coaches' poll and No. 18 in the USA Today national poll. Colerain, No. 2 in the Enquirer poll, has not been mentioned in most national polls.

Congrats to the Cardinals. Looks like another late season duel with the Bombers for regional honors.

Colrain's sophomore running back Tyler Williams is quite the player. Keep your eye on this young man. He has both spped and moves, 7 carries for 66 yards and both Colerain touchdowns.  |
