Final

Ugly game. I will give my random thoughts later.

Final from Owen Hauck Field. Defensive struggle. Ryle scores on 1st possession and then on late 2nd quarter 89 yard punt return by the very speedy Nick Kennedy. Boone had about 65 yards of total offense and Ryle had about 150.

Seals Ryles season on a good note.

Who played QB for Ryle?

Boring game. Not sure if either team completed a pass. No joke. Seriously don't think either team had a completed pass. Punt return before half set the tone for the rest of the game. Hope Boone's QB is okay. He got crushed helmet to helmet while trying to pickup a fumble in the 2nd quarter & did not return. Boone then became even more one dimensional on offense (if that is even possible) after that.

 

I want those 3 hours of my life back!

Some of us were wondering if this game would be over in an hour tonight due to no passing.

Wow - thought Boone would win this one.

They had plenty of opportunities but the offense played terrible

Where did Nathan Davis play?

He didn't dress

He didn't dress

Is he hurt? I thought he made it out of the game healthy last week.

65 yards TOTAL offense for Boone? Remember the old axion - if you have two quarterbacks you have none.

 

Ryle's O seemed to struggle as well.

 

Good win for Ryle.

I can't remember a Boone game with so few total yards. The way Boone played vs Dixie, I expected them to move the ball some. Ryle's D has actually played pretty well this year overall. Special teams breakdowns and turnovers really hurt the Raiders in two of their losses.

Random thoughts:

 

The good news for Boone is several alum along with current members of the Boone County choir did a very nice job signing the National Anthem.

The french fries were seasoned very well.

The Boone band did a great rendition of Call Me Maybe at halftime.

And finally Ingolia nailed about a 60 yard punt that was a college D1 level punt.

 

Ryle was snappy. Nothing great but snappy.

Ryle's OL looked pretty good but beyond that Ryle is tiny.

Ryle had a very poor fan turn out.

Ryle ran the ball pretty well but 6A teams that cannot throw the ball have ZERO chance of winning a state title.

NKY 6A football is really down.

 

Davis is healthy and I understand he will probably be back next week for the Raiders.

 

Coach Owen Hauck was at the game and it was announced before the game that he coached both Coach Rick Thompson (Highlands) and Coach Bryson Warner (Boone) in high school. What they didn't announce is Coach Hauck actually called the offensive plays for both teams last night. Hard to believe but true...
