The game tonight was painful to watch if you are a HC fan. Way too many turnovers (6) - I recall 2 fumbles by the QB Trail, 1 fumble by Beal, 1 fumble by Gabbard after a catch and 2 int. Lloyd did have their fair share of turnovers. The reason why Lloyd went for 2 was simple - no kicking game. It did not help that HC had 2 separate off sides penalties on extra points that moved the ball closer. Not hard to get a few yards. I still don't understand the offense in that you have a very tall TE Knochelmann that does not get used and they should throw short passes to Pouncey and let him do his thing. It basically was QB run and Beal run. HC defense did a pretty good job of pressuring Lloyd's QB, but HC db's could not defend the long pass. This game was a make or break one for HC - now no chance of a winning record.

Great story about the Smith brothers and their father in the paper this morning. Mexitucky I was only trying to get some laughs on the Lloyd vs NCC game in 1976. I am sure Erlanger is proud of the Blue and Gold today. JD

I know. I was just kidding. I meant that I didn't want to see Lloyd beat NewCath like in 1976. I have heard that story 8million times at family gatherings.

I was there Mexitucky and I love telling the story. Great game between two great teams at that time. JD

Sounds like a very exciting game. Congrats to the Juggs!

Just a question, and not a put down in anyway...when was the last really competitive. Lloyd team? ? The days of Myron Hopkins and Austin Vogt??? Nice to see a program on the upswing.

KentuckyJoe, I would have to agree with you that was the last really good team Lloyd had. That team was loaded and had played together from pee wee's all the way thru their senior year. They were fun to watch and follow. Glad to see Lloyd having a good season. JD

Interesting to read that Coach Stratton was going to kick the XP to tie it by his QB talked him into going for two.

After seeing their PK struggle big time last week going for 2 was probably the higher % decision...

It was also interesting that HC squibbed the kick and Lloyd only had to go 50 yards to win the game.

HC respect for Lloyd's special teams as they ran a kickoff back for 79 yards in the game and guess he did not want to have another let down. As for the 2 pt conversion they went for 2 during the whole game and I also saw Lloyd do that against Owen and Walton Verona. JD

Good win for Lloyd. As mentioned both teams were hit by turn overs but they killed HC. How many turn overs did Lloyd have? Nice job Lloyd players.

Interesting then that Coach was going to kick.

As I mentioned previously, HC had 4 fumbles and 2 INTs. Lloyd had just 2 fumbles.
