Did a ship sink in Union tonight?

I think it might be time for changes at Ryle like a more balanced offense but what do I know?

I believe you know that Simon Kenton is 6 and 0.

Like that rhyme? MC PP92.

I don't think the Raider ship sank tonight, it sank while dry docked at Cooper in week one.

Ryle needs to play for next year.

May be tough for the to score on SK in 2013. I believe we lose two starters on defense but both are excellent (Bowling and Swanson).

Ryle's offense is three yards and a cloud of pellets. Get up on them early and you have an excellent chance at a win. I just don't understand why they don't/won't diversify their offense.

one could argue that the ship sank during the preseason meeting/forum Warner had in the spring.

I guess all the Raider fans jumped off the ship!!!

Judging from what I read out of 90% of your posts.. Not much..

Weren't you leading the lynch mob after SK's coach last year after they got destroyed in the playoffs? I don't seem to remember you being quite as active after that fiasco as you are right now.

Football in NKY ebbs and flows based on talent. This years Ryle is lacking talent, same as SK last year and BC has for a few. No one doubted coach Warner when Travis and Conner were running the offense. Unless you recruit (and I don't want to start that all over again), you win and lose based on the talent you have developed or were born with.

I still back my team! Hopefully Ryle fixes things or kids might end up at Conner or Cooper!

How do you play for next year in high school?

**NKY Bandit** · Sep 22, 12, 02:33 PM

Call the guy in Independence and ask him. It appears as though that may have been the plan last year and it seems to have worked this year. Playing younger kids? emphasizing depth? skill development?

**jolmstead** · Sep 22, 12, 02:43 PM

It takes a very secure coach to sacrifice a year's performance on the field to develop players, or specifically a QB. I could not see BW, CC or Highlands doing it, but then again when the well runs dry in those places ......

**Voice of Reason** · Sep 22, 12, 02:49 PM

I just am not sure how you play for next year in high school. Kids change so much each year. Are you saying play a kid who is not as good as a senior just to get him experience? Is that fair to a senior who is the better player and has worked for 4 years to get his playing time? If a young player and a senior are about equal and the team is not winning, then you play the younger guy to try and get wins now anyway, right? So you aren't really playing for next year in that situation because you are still trying to win games now. I would like to hear specifically how you play for next year in high school?

When the coach in Independance did it he was reamed by the so called superfan on a weekly basis.

Follow that up with a nothing schedule the next year and you look like a genius. At least until it's time to play a big boy schedule.

**NKY Bandit** · Sep 22, 12, 02:49 PM

exactly. However, if you're also the AD, no chance you are going to fire yourself and it's easier to justify the 'down' year when you back it up with 6-0 the next season.

Did they play the best players they had last year and they were just young? Is that playing for next year? How did Marksberry play for next year last season?

They also hired a former head coach to coach the quarterbacks looks like it is working out great.
