Beechwood 47 Bracken 0

Without naming names will the loss of the 3 that were kicked off have an impact on the field at any point in the playoffs?

 

No, as I have said, two of them were already out for the season. That impact had already been felt. The other player was a good athlete, but saw only part-time varsity field time.

No.

 

I was surprised to see Bracken County lose to Pendleton County and that tells the tale for me. I don't see this game being close. You hate to see it happen this way but it will be fun seeing some of the younger players get their chance and see how they do.

 

Here is something I would love to see tonight - when the players in uniform take the field tonight I would love to see a lot of noise and a standing ovation for the kids who are working hard, bearing the load this week and doing it the right way and for Coach Rash and staff.

Now way Beechwood beats Frankfort with these kids out.....there is a good chance they dont beat Frankfort with these kids.

 

No, I get what you are saying and I did not word this correctly (Big surprise!). I have said all year that Frankfort scares me and was definitely not an easy win for the Tigers without Gauge Erdman and some others.

 

I guess the point that I thought I was making (in my head anyway) was that the team that is on the field tonight is not significantly different from what will be there for Frankfort. Less-skilled, Yes! Less-Varsity Experience, Yes! Our JV players are very athletic and will be good players given some experience.

 

In short, I agree. The Tigers have their work cut-out with Frankfort with or without these players. Heck, I'm concerned about 2nd round. You just never know with in-experienced players.

 

I do know that I will feel better when I see how some of these kids react to the spotlight tonight. It's their opportunity to step up! I wouldn't be a bit surprised if some of the suspended Starters lose their spots.

I don't think they will start, but at least 4 will play alot with the #1's. I agree with you RB one will get a score.

 

Combs, Stringer, Slusher and Fieger? What about Bankamper?

I dont know the significance of the kids that will be suspended but i would think it wouldnt help Beechwood against a team like Frankfort with that many kids out. Beechwood could still win if there is only 2-3 starters out but i would think a lot of those JV kids get some minutes that could hurt if they are out.

This is not a Frankfort vs Beechwood thread so this will be the last I will respond here. The suspensions are for this week only so it won't affect Frankfort game if we make it to that. If anything, these JV players that will get "REAL" varsity experience tonight and that will only serve to make the team deeper and more able to absorb an injury or two down the road. Furthermore, I have seen this before. You never know what kid will step up and shine. Just might be some kids that steal some spots tonight.
