Bet it is Lickert

With Warner out at Ryle there is not a Head Coach in NKY who has ever beat Highlands. The last 2 coaches to beat Highlands and compete with or beat Trinity have been run out of town. I am sure they forgot how to coach. Lesson to coaches be like some coaches and job hop, beat no one and people won't get tired of you.

I would rank it tied for fourth right now. The jobs that the current and past coaches have done make me see it this way: 1. Highlands - Not an easy job for anyone but absolute community support, and incredible tradition. Maybe following Dale would be difficult with all the success he has had but if I were a coach I would love to take that job. 2. Beechwood - Once again great support and I feel Class A is not as difficult as 6A, because Beechwood is one of the "Trinitys", and "Highlands" of Class A. 3. Simon Kenton - the program has been built from the ashes and with open enrollment and not seeing a 4th high school in Kenton County any time soon I think it is a great job. Overcoming the monsters of Louisville is not an easy one. 4. Boone, Campbell, Conner, Cooper, Dixie, and Ryle are all places that I think could be put at the level that could bump Simon Kenton in time. IMO all of these teams (at 3 and 4) should play Highlands, Cov. Cath, and even though it isn't popular Beechwood and NCC because those programs will prepare you for a State Championship calliber team. You might beat the 1A nad 2A teams but you will usually be tested. Then look to play teams from Louisville or Cincinnati. Good luck to Ryle and Bryson Warner. Just my two cents.

If by it you mean the 3A State Title someone should tell them and the KHSAA because neither recognize that year as a State Championship season for CCH.

The answer is NO Beechwood does not need a change. I like reading all the he took over a power comments, Noel was at Beechwood with Yeagle for several years, if anyone understands the Beechwood (Yeagle) standard it is Noel.

Only one loss prior to the State Title game. So his team has missed the Championship game only once.

What do you estimate Highlands record would be against Trinity or St.X's schedule?

I believe that playing a tough schedule is a good thing but saying 6A schools should play Highlands if they want to win a State title is ridiculous the last time the big school state champion played Highlands in a REAL game was 1998. The path to a big school state title does not go through Ft.Thomas. Look at the one NKY 6A school that played Highlands consistently they couldn't compete with the Birds and it led to Ft.Thomas people questioning the direction of that schools program which at the time was headed by one of their own. I hope SK never schedules highlands to continue to read how offended GROWN MEN get by the fact that SK is proud of their programs accomplishments. It really is no different than Highlands not playing Trinity in a real game yet want to be considered the best team in the State.

It doesn't matter if SK won by 60 or 1 they won. Highlands fans you are better than that. At least I thought you were.

I get what you are saying but in fairness 3 wins in 17 games is 1 more win than all other teams in NKY have against Highlands in that same span.

I remember a QB in NKY a few years ago that had 40 D1 offers and no one picked him as the best in NKY.

and the Birds don't get a L in the standings no different than Simon Kenton scrimaging St. X

Cecil, and Bardo at Highlands not sure if they are a family or if the birds designate 1 player each year to go by Cecil and 1 to go by Bardo.

I do not know how the NCAA rules work but what if his personal assistant was the one paid for him signing, (or he said he was) and they couldn't link any money back to Manzel as he has plenty already so him showing up with new stuff could be from his parents.

Here is the crazy part the NCAA is upset he may have got paid for his signature yet Texas A&M offered a seat next to him for $20,000 dollars and they have more than his family. NCAA athletes are exploited. I don't have the fix but I hope they loose the O'Banion case and have to stop exploiting athletes. I don't understand the resentment people have towards him. If he wants to have a good time and ruined his future that is on him, some people act like he ruined their future.
