  1. I watched most of the BG vs South game that was streamed, and as a HHS fan I saw HHS most of their games when competitive. I am not interested in seeing the Scott HS game. I think all are games against each of these teams would be very competitive. On any give night any one of those time could beat the other. It will be fun seeing how it turns out.
  2. I stand corrected. Looks like a good link. Not what I have experienced in the past with you tube channels.
  3. Be careful of false youtube channel's. Check the channel name - kool tv, hair club, lasmi lasmi, etc. They are not showing the games.
  4. The number one consideration is what you have to pay in the market for the coach you want. The other considerations to justify the expense is 1) the number of students under your supervision and instruction and 2) the revenue that is generated from the sport. Looking at the list of salaries for both the HC and assistants, I would say the Basketball has the highest per student cost at Highlands. And football generates the highest revenue. Other schools may be different.
  5. They have already stopped playing GCL schools and moving to 4A will replace some 5A schools due to playing district games. They can keep Cov Cath and some other local revivals. So yes their schedule will be scaled back if playing in 4A district games.
  6. Check out this HHS Link for You tube Was one of the Kids doing the games on Friday nights at HHS.
  7. I believe the best course for HHS is to play against schools their own size and play CCH each year just like Beechwood does. Playing in 4A will still give HHS a big challenge and NKY will get to see a CCH vs HHS game.
  8. Much different time. Comparing apples and oranges.
  9. Post was presented to confirm that changes are needed in the future. I have never been a fan of playing out of your class. Not even for the reason of travel expenses or rivalries. The players should come first by providing them the best chance to succeed against schools of like size.
  10. Clearly they could try and find another Dale, however they are under weight in their class. From KHSAA Web Site. 5A schools range 724 to 505 boys 4A schools range 552 to 430 boys HHS average boys number is 486 and that is skewed due to two years (14-15) and (15-16). Since this is a HHS vs Conner thread - Conner has an average boy number of 707. That is 221 more boys than HHS.
  11. I completely understand there are a lot of conditions that need to be evaluated in making decisions on how to manage who gets time on the field. The success that HHS had in the past has drawn more guys to the team. Also Dale and Brian both worked together to get the buy-in for platooning. Getting more guys involved, having them focus on one task, keeping players fresh and limiting injuries while having a winning season are very good goals. However, today looking at "this good circumstance" has its limitation. I believe when the talent of the players drop off, the larger numbers work against a teams success. There is still football to play and I hope the coaches are seeking advise like you mentioned. From my perspective I am sure the coaches are working to find ways to get the best players more time on the field. Thanks for your input.
  12. Just a question? In your opinion how does a coach manage a game having 74 total players with 31 Seniors? 1) Play as many guys as you can by Platooning - Try and keep a good team chemistry 2) Play your best athletes, with some on both sides of the ball realizing a larger number of four year players will never see the field. Then deal with the issues that presents. There are special teams but that is normally where some of the younger guys get on the field. Looking at the roster the Junior's total 21 and the Soph total 22. So next year's player management may be a bit easier. Just interested in how a coach approaches the Senior class?
  13. Its true that the QB position talent compared to Lorenzen, Guidugli, Towles, and Hoge have greatly dropped off. However the "eights" and some of the "tens" were playing both ways under Dale. That is not happening today. Today the "eights" and "tens" are divided up Off and Def. (not evenly in my opinion) and they even get subbed when they are playing half of a game or more than half as the defense has seen a lot more playing time recently. I respect the desire to keep guys fresh and limit injuries however you are not going to compete in a higher class 5A or class 4A (Boyle) if you do not maximize the talent you have. From what I see, HHS has a lot of guys dressing 74 total per their roster with 30 seniors. All the guys are working hard to get better and I am sure the coaches are looking at ways to get them on the field as best they can. However this is a drain on the talent pool of "eights" and "tens" and will have an affect on the teams performance.
  14. HHS is close in size to 4A Boyle County. Just slightly more boys and they lost 30-0. Since HHS is playing up in 5A the talent issue is more pronounced. Maximizing talent on the field is especially crucial playing up in class and that is the coaches responsiblity. From my prospective the current system being used maximizes participation not talent.
  15. It's not just the offense that could use some help. There are athletic receivers that could help the DB position.
