I don't know if I will land in time to see it but the early-season game that has me intrigued is CCH and Dixie.

Serious question, do you really think Scott is number 7, or are you taking a "wait and see" approach on them?

 

With the facilities that they have out there you would think they are #1.

As nice as Campbell County is with the scoreboard and Dixie too, I agree with you Scott, has the nicest.

I think you guys are forgetting about the Cooper Jaguars. They lost their QB sure, but they still have the best defense in local 5A and should be an NKY top 10 team. Think about this: A state finalist is returning seven starters on offense and eight on the best defense in the district and they have yet to be mentioned on this thread until this post.

The reports out of their scrimmage Friday were not good. I have a lot of doubts about them. Losing Morris is huge. People don't realize how good he was. But it isn't just the QB. They lost their top 5 or 6 players. Couple that with their scrimmage, the best I could do with them right now would be put them at 10 in place of Campbell County. That can change fast a couple games in but they are a team I want to see do something before I move them up the ranks. Also, you are going to be surprised by Conner's defense this season so I would claim Copper has the best defense in 5A just yet.

None of them have a field house like SK.

Those are "reports" you're talking about, i.e second-hand information, from a scrimmage no less. But eight returning starters on defense for Cooper is a fact. And so is this: Conner gave up an average of 28.1 points per game last year and Cooper gave up fully half that, 14. Another fact: Conner has fewer starters returning on defense than Cooper, six. Fact: Conner lost its entire defensive line. Let me just ask you. How in the heck is Conner going to put on the field a defense on a par with Cooper's after allowing twice as many points and returning fewer defensive starters? Also, when you say that Cooper "lost their top 5 or 6 players" you're not dealing with facts. But I did notice how you conveniently omitted the huge loss of Cameron Fogle for Conner in that sentence. Cooper losing Morris is huge? You bet. What about the loss of Fogle for Conner? Just as huge. And since when does a scrimmage become a litmus test for a team to someone calling himself a Voice of Reason? Just the facts please in your response.

Have you been in Scott's fieldhouse?? I've been in both, and Scott's is nicer. When you factor in a full sized track (it even has a setup for Steeplechase!! Do they even run that event in high school??), and super nice concessions, a better press box, it's not really close. SK is definitely number 3 in facilities in Kenton County.

NewCath's tops them all. :jump:

first hand info. I was at the Dixie Cooper game. Dixie ran the ball at will. Cooper looked small on the o line and d line. Cooper didnt look good. Does that mean they will look that way in the season? No! The question is Dixie that good or Cooper just down this year.

Voice is bang on when he calls a scrimmage a litmus test with test being the key word. Why do kids take practice ACTs before the real thing? Why does Tiger Woods play practice rounds? it's to get an idea of what you have when it's all in the line. Voice has provided more insightful posts on BGP than most. Maybe you should post on Dear Abbey first then try BGP again.

Unless they started more than 11 players at a time on defense.... they lost more than three starters....Morris, Collins, Centers, Mitchell, and Neuman off the top of my head....

I'd have to agree with Voice. Everyone knows it all starts up front and both lines need to toughen up. After the scrimmage Fri. I haveno issue with Cooper not being mentioned in the list until they prove themselves. Friday showed how huge Centers and Mitchell and neuman were on the line last year.

Rookies DO NOT speak to the "hierarchy" like this. :no: :lol2:

Now, now.....Rock N. Rolle is obviously a "big" Cooper fan and is entitled to his/her opinion, however misguided you take it.

Opinions. Agreed. I took it as more of a "call out" than anything. But of course......that is just my opinion.
