Jack of all Trades Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Yes. So does the AD at Beechwood put together the schedules for all sports or is each coach responsible for putting together the schedule for their respective sport? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bac2369 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Your statement contradicts itself. "...they never pulled their starters but did sub in a lot of players in and out." Unfortunately this game will not be played. Coach Noel Rash was supposedly all for it but it could not clear Suzy Wera's desk, stating that they are limiting the number of larger schools (i.e. Covington Catholic) that they play each year and wished JC well. Best of luck to the Tigers on their quest for another state title. Well always thought there was a difference pulling the starters and just subbing kids in and out. Most coaches pull starters when the game is well in hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellbird Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Fieger has been Beechwood's starting QB since his freshman year correct? No. He didn't start varsity until the playoffs that year. He wasn't the starter during his freshman regular season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SportsGuy41017 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 From a Bw point of view, I would think it would be much more cost effective to find a Ohio team to play from somewhere in the Cincy area. If I am a parent or fan I know that would make me much happier than traveling half way across the state. That said, the team I follow is doing about the same this year. I ask the coach here why and he said he could not find anyone else any closer. So that may be the case here as well but surely there is a much closer Ohio school the Beechies could play that would cut down on cost and increase the # of fans that would come But, that wasn't the excuse given by the AD, supposedly saying "she wanted to limit the number of larger schools that Beechwood plays". If this is true, I don't like the idea of an AD having this much control over who a team plays, again, if this is true. It is nice to get out of the area and travel a bit, get your team one long road game a year could help a team later on as well. Didn't you say that you would like to see a BW and MF series as well? And to the other poster saying that a larger school who is in contention should not play Beechwood, Beechwood has proven time and time again that they are not your typical small school. I remember when Kettering Alter played at Beechwood before the game some of their fans complaining that they Beechwood shouldn't even be on the same field as their team, only to have two straight years of barely escaping with a win. A few other small schools in KY fit this category as well. I liked the idea of when Beechwood played good teams in Ohio, big or small. I enjoyed the Newark Catholic game. I have always wanted to see Beechwood play Vs Germantown Valley View. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First, the Ohio team would actually have to beat Beechewood to get any computer points. Second, even of they were able to beat Beechwood the points value is not that great because of the small size of Beechwood. So if you are a typical small school in Ohio you probably are not going to beat Beechwood and if you are a D1-D3 size school that can beat Beechwood the risk vs reward for computer points is not that good.

BW already traveling to Somerset this year, and still rumors abound they are playing Raceland up here this year and down there next. Either way, that would be two very substantial bus rides in a year. Could have something to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voice of Reason Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 BW already traveling to Somerset this year, and still rumors abound they are playing Raceland up here this year and down there next. Either way, that would be two very substantial bus rides in a year. Could have something to do with it. I doubt there will be another road trip game. Usually Beechwood has one road trip game on their schedule and since Somerset is signed up that is probably it. The rest of the schedule will be N. Ky. teams if they stick to the format in recent years. The Tigers also usually play another out of area team in their opener in the Cross Town Showdown.

Voice of Reason Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I just saw that Beechwood is not playing a game as part of the Crosstown Showdown this year. It will be interesting to see what opponent they pick up to fill that slot on the schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
