Newport 35-7

Who cares if the offense is predictable? If it's not broken, don't fix it. We outgained them on offense by about double their yards, and our offense outscored theirs (based on drives, not by luck of recovering a ball within the 5 twice) 18-7. Honestly, the punt that bounced off of Daley was just horrible luck for us and GREAT luck for them. The odds of that happening again are slim to none. Then also Kramer's fumbled punt return was a result of spreading him out too thin and trying to make him do too much. Kramer let a few balls go that he shouldn't have. When he tried to compensate for it, by catching the one he should have let go, he made a mistake. My main point is that their punt team really scored 2 TD's for them, not their offense...

Newport 40 Dayton 13

Mercer has more boys than Newport has students all together. Something is wrong there. Newport and Mercer will be a great game this year on the turf at Newport Stadium.

Wow, Newport trails a good NC team 7-0 at the half and loses 20-0 and you guys think Dayton will knock them off. Wow. Same old game. Newport wins.

Which student section do you think is the most involved in games and shows the most spirit? I have to say last night there was some interesting body paint over in the Highlands student section.

On September 1st, Newport plays Dayton at Newport Stadium.

After seeing the Highlands/Male game last night, I have to say Beaumont for Male is one of the top. Also Conner for Highlands had some great returns on kickoff for starting as a sophmore. Vicars for NCC should be another good one this year... any other ideas?

Has anyone from NKY ever got that award? Who votes on this?

NHSBIGDADDY, you know Newport never does good in the scrimmages, they didn't even score in their scrimmages last year but look how many points they put up. You know every year they just get work in. They never fair good in them for some reason.

The field does belong to Newport Independent Schools. The AD will have nothing to do with what NC is charged. That will be up to the Board of Education of Newport Schools. Last, Newport Schools sent a message to NCC and asked them what they thought would be a fair price. If anyone would like to argue with this they can send me a private message. Believe me, I know what I am talking about.

It will be fixed and done right. The goal posts are out and the field will not go on to the track now.

Jay Draper is the likely quarterback for Highlands, but Clay Cecil is another option. Newport's quarterback, J.J. Hesch, will return for his senior season and third season as starting quarterback.

I thought Newport was in the finals twice in 36 and 54???? I'm not sure on this.
