Is NKYFL Disbanding Their Senior Division?
JBSmash replied to NKYPrepSportsFan's topic in Middle School Sports
It is absolutely not true that kids outside of Ryle district are playing for the Union Raiders and have not been for quite some time. The Norseman Conference was founded to align kids with their schools and we are all certified by the state now. The Raiders did look into joining up with the NKMSAA or at least playing non conference as early as last season before our Norseman was started but they still will not go to the table. I know this because I am the one that requested a meeting and they denied me even though we are 100% aligned to Ryle. In hindsight it did work out because we do not have any interest in being in the NKMSAA. Our competition level is better and we venture outside of the conference around the tri state and have built some pretty good relationships with some teams throughout Ky as well as Ohio, and Indiana. In addition our conference is a football conference only and we do not have to deal with a lot of the red tape that some may have to deal with. I am very happy for the teams in the NKMSAA if they are getting the opportunities that they are looking for. It does appear that the league allows for good competition for the smaller schools. -

We have already reached out to CCH about potentially playing in the future. The addition of Lex Cath and the Birds have made the conference very strong. I would think there has to be a little bit of curiosity on CCH's part to hook up with Highlands and some of the other bigger schools. Would be fun. -

Sorry, this is a double post but did not attach the first time. Not true at all. All of Union Raider kids are Ryle kids. Period. The Norseman Conference is 100% a football conference and all of the kids that are feeding these teams are being fed to their high schools and are based on school districts. We have approached the Kenton County schools numerous times about playing non conference games but they will not play any of us because they say that "the teams in our conference are select" but that is not true. They will not even go to the table to discuss even though they have "open enrollment" and Boone Co does not. Very hypocritical since they let CCH 7th join and New Cath join in the past. Their loss now. They are certainly not providing the best opportunities or competition for their kids. In retrospect, we are glad not to be tied to the middle schools for many reasons that I cannot describe in a post. Just for the record we have reached out to Cov Cath about exploring some game action or conference affiliation. -

We started last year with the four Boone County schools and have already expanded with the strong addition of the Birds and Lex Cath. We have also already been in discussions with others about expansion for next season. -

This year CCH is very good, the best in NKY. However, when looking back over the last four years, Ryle never lost to CCH. Last years senior class at Ryle was 5-0 against them over their careers. I know that you said average in your quote but over the last four years prior to this one, there may not have been 4-5 CCH players that would have started for Ryle. Cooper and Conner might make a similar argument over the last few years. I do agree that Boone is spread out but school is to educate, not to build football powerhouses, although I like to watch good football powerhouses.

Enquirer's All-NKY Football Team
JBSmash replied to That One Guy's topic in KY Football (High School)
You missed one: Bryce Ashley was 1st team WR -
They should do big school and small school divisions. There is no way you can compare the players from 1A and 2A schools against 5A and 6A. Schedules are completely different and more challenging at the 5 and 6A levels. That way kids from all over NKy would get recognition compared to like players. It is ludicrous to leave off a kid because they feel obligated to put kids in from small schools that do not play near the schedule week in and week out.

Another legend in his own mind spouting off about something he knows nothing about. Posters like this are what drag this web site to the bottom. This Ryle team was very special. One of the best in Ryle history. Please talk about something that you know something about, whatever that is. There are some nice craft shows going on right now.

Thanks for your "expert" opinions. Your opinions and "expert" knowledge of football and life are why people flock to BGP. Thanks for your great knowledge and expertise. They should create a new category on this site called "Legends in our own minds" . There are so many of you that would be great commentators in that one. Great insight as always.
