5A #6 Highlands at 6A Ryle

The Bluebirds (2-1) had their hands full and then some against a big, physical Scott County squad. The Cardinals were imposing their will on Highlands before lightning halted the game early, with Scott County leading 28-7. After facing a couple of high octane offenses in Weeks 1 and 2, Ryle got in the win column with a 41-13 victory over Boone County. The Raiders have beaten Highlands by 3 TDs or more in each of the past three years.

Really good matchup on paper.

Highlands by 7.

Should be a good back and forth game I think. Will be a fun one to watch.

Highlands: 32

Ryle: 26

Ryle is no Scott County. Birds by 20.

Looking forward to a great game in Union Friday night. Could be one of those last possession type of games. The ship is headed in the right direction with much improved passing capability for the Raiders. Buckle up for a battle, men! I would be shocked if it’s not close.

Huge game for both teams. Probably a very close game.

Who needs the win more? I am thinking Ryle. Highlands has a couple decent wins and Ryle has none so far (sorry, Boone Co. does not count as a decent win). Ryle has owned the series lately and if they don't win this it looks like things are going bad in Union. I say Ryle needs the win more than Highlands.

I don't know. If Highlands loses this one, they will likely drop the following game in Lexington against LexCath. If Highlands falls to 2 - 3 with games still on the schedule against SK and CovCath, the wolves will come out pretty quickly in Cake Town.

A healthy England and a more decisive passing game With Stanken is the difference. Ryle by 14. Cooper and Campbell county at this point can't be considered quality wins either.

Did Ryle change qbs?

Yes, Jr Keegan Stanken is the starter at this point. Jake Smith is a good athlete and is playing some WR and DB.

I’m a fan, but I’ll believe a heathy England when we can see it. He’s a really good RB but hasn’t been able to shake the injury bug in years. I also think the new Ryle QB struggles against this HHS D.

Should be a good one!
