What are your predictions for the 2012 Freshman Bluebirds? Do they have enough talent to win another freshman title?

 

Who are the players to watch during the 2012 season? Will the NCC rivalry be renewed?

This team should be very interesting in 2012. They are as talented as any I have seen at the skilled positions. They have five backs that could run or receive for any team in NKY (Ochoa, Daughtery, Johnson, Kendal, Zigler). They all run hard, are fast, and can catch the ball.

 

Hergott at QB is a real strength. 6'2", throws 55 yards on a frozen rope, has touch, and can run. Maybe another Towles down the road.

 

The defense will be quick to the ball with all this speed. They have a few linebackers that get to the ball and are tough (Backsheider and Bradford).

 

The O-line has Hebel back again after playing last year as an eighth grader. Bradford is tough and strong. Richardson is very strong. They have many other good linemen to go for the rest of the spots.

 

If they can avoid the injury bug and get by Trinity without injury, they should be right in the hunt for another freshman title.

 

Good luck freshman birds!

Bradford's going to be a monster

I love how he plays with intensity.

 

Overall this is a group of very nice kids. They need to let their beast out. Their skills are not in question, but they need the Bradford's of the team to step up and show them how to play angry.

CCH should have a nice team as well. Let's hope the title comes down to the Colonels v. Birds!

Bradford's going to be a monster

 

I think Bradford will end up playing lb..

He's got the vision and mental make up for that position.

Not to single out one kid, but Doughtery may be kicking for the frosh and varsity this year. He has a big time leg. At the jr league games last year the crowd would sit and watch him kick field goals at halftime. It was impressive.

Hergott at QB is a real strength. 6'2", throws 55 yards on a frozen rope, !

 

I quit reading after this.

 

A 55-yd frozen rope?

He has a very strong arm..Austin has the potential to be extremely good..

I'll take your word for that and hope the kid has success.

 

How many pros throw a 55-yd frozen rope? Dalton doesn't.

More like 40-45yd...He does have a strong arm though and is pretty accurate..

We must have a different definition of frozen rope.

Agree that frozen rope may be a little strong of a word to use here. Kid does have good size for a frosh and only time will tell how good he can become. Remember that Pat Towles did not see much time at QB as a frosh and we know how he turned out. Sometimes a kid needs to grow into his body in order to reach his full potential.

Frozen rope has more to do with speed rather than distance..
