Highlands played well enough at times to win this game. Congrats to the Rocks on the win. Good luck this season. Safe travels!

Real good showing by the Baby Birds.

Very good! I will say it again and even got a Dislike in another thread.

 

NKY=Highlands/Ryle in 2016. Just my opinion!

Trinity Frosh are very good. #32 on defense making plays all over the field. #1 great in pass coverage. Several stud running backs, 10, 49 among them. 2 very good signal callers in 18 and 14. The Birds played well. Trinity made the defensive adjustments they needed to make and wore the Birds down in the 4th quarter.

Was this a scrimmage?

No, 1st game

I doubt there is another frosh team in the state with lineman as big as Trinity. Absolutely huge. One listed at 6'3" 310. The rest of the starters all well over 200 lbs. The much smaller Bird line performed extremely well against them.

I picked up my daughter after the game and other than commenting about the tent in front of the school with catered Jimmy Johns, the size of the kids from Trinity was the main topic. My daughter said they looked as big as copper did last night. From what I saw she wasn't far off

Pretty good first game test for the Baby Birds. They had a 5 pt lead late in the 3rd. I heard the Birds had a some injuries that took key players out of the game.

 

Nice debut at QB for Birds Hunter Ahlfeld connecting on some long passes of 40+ yards and ran the ball well. Kid is a very good athlete he will only get better.

Congrats Pebbles.

Hopefully bodes well for the future.

Good luck rest of the way.

Any team playing the Birds frosh team this year needs to be aware of the fake punt anywhere on the field and where Huddleston lines up as wide receiver. Gave the Rocks fits all day.

I suspect their conditioning was slightly better though.

Thank you VOR - but not original.

 

Heard it some time ago from someone far more clever than I !

I suspect their conditioning was slightly better though.

 

 

Whose ?
