Just seen a poster for this game. It has the teams listed but not Walton? Why is Walton getting snubbed?

 

Walton is not NKY, that's y.

If my son had a college scholarship I think I would advise him to forgo this game. Not worth the risk.

In that case Union is not NKY also.

My guess is this is a N. Ky. Athletic Conference event. Walton is not part of the NKAC.

Does anybody have the rosters yet?

This is a Northern Kentucky Football Coaches Association event. Walton-Verona for whatever reason isn't a member. That's why WV doesn't have anyone on the top 24 (or 26 now I think) that the coaches association awards in December.

Thank you for clearing that up. Any word on the rosters yet?

Any word on which Highlands players will be participating?

Hopefully rosters are set and we're a go for this event. With the cancellation last year and the limited amount of information available, beginning to wonder if the game/event is in trouble.

This year's game is on firm footing from all that I am hearing. We probably won't start seeing it promoted till the end of next week.

They have had posters up advertising the game 3 weeks ago.

My guess is Highlands will not have anyone playing but I may be wrong.

 

A kid has to just be obsessed with the game, has some unfinished business, or is still trying to catch a coaches eye late in the recruiting season to play in this game imo.

 

As Clyde stated, I would advise any kid playing college to forgo this game and FWIW most if not all colleges are done recruiting at this point.

 

If the sponsors of this game or the fans of this game want to really see it become a "must play" event then they need to play it before Xmas imo.

In 1994, Sean Alexander played in this game and he went on to be an NFL MVP. It is the elitist, "I am too good to play in this game is what has led to it's demise over the years." I can definitely understand a D1 kid choosing not to play, but small college kids should and mostly will play.

 

Last I checked, Highlands has only 1 player from this years graduating class playing any college football at any level. Why in the heck wouldn't all of the other kids from Highlands want the chance to strap on the equipment and play this great game one last time?

 

Football is unique from every other sport. Once a player's career is over, they will never really have a chance to play tackle football again. There are many pick up basketball leagues, adult baseball/softball leagues, and flag football leagues, but it is rare to be able to play tackle football again in equipment.

 

Hopefully the young men participating will enjoy and take advantage of this opportunity!
