Like I said in the Beechwood thread, when you play on grass in conditions like tonight the scores can look strange and not give a true picture of either team. That being said, give Conner credit for playing tough and justifying their 6A ranking.

SK gets their first home game of the season next Friday against Dixie. Homecoming game. SK went 3-0 on the road against 3 6A teams.

 

How may wins do those teams have between them?

Here is the whole thing in a nutshell without being biased. Both teams had to play in the same conditions so it is what it is. The fact of the matter is that it was the weather and the Cougars vs. SK. The weather was definitely the great equalizer. It was impossible for Shearer to throw the ball around. Not just because of the footing but the grip on the ball as well. Conner attempted more passes because they had to but their QB was flinging wounded ducks up there because he couldn't grip the ball either. SK's oline and defense won the game in the trenches. That's the way it had to be. Is Conner that good? I don't know. Is SK only 7 points better than Conner. Absolutely not!! I can only speculate but if this game is played on a dry field I say SK's passing game wins this by at least 3 touchdowns. I guess we won't know unless they meet in the playoffs somewhere. I would say that this game should never have been played. I think Trosper played it because he saw the rain and mud as an equalizer. He was right but also very arrogant and selfish. Football is a tough sport as it is. He put players from both teams in danger of catastrophic injury tonight because of his arrogance. This game should've been moved to last night or tomorrow at SK. Regardless, a win is a win and, in the grand scheme of things, it is a meaningless win because the district is all that matters. Good luck to the Cougars the rest of the way. I hope both teams made it out without any traumatic losses due to injury. I know both teams are banged up after tonight. I hope Trosper is happy with the result.

Conner only beat Boone 21-13. Ryle just waxed Boone 48-0.

The field at halftime.

What were the weather conditions last week at the Conner/Boone game? Where was the Ryle/Boone game tonight? At Ryle on turf?

Conner/Boone game was on a dry field so this tells me Conner is not very good

If SK/Conner game was on a dry field it would have been bad for Conner. They played a good game their players where fired up big time. SK did their job and won. Great teams find a way to win.

This post is pure entertainment. How many years has football been played in the mud. Good lord. Catastrophic injury? Are you referring to someone getting mud in their eyes. Gimme a break. I would argue that the risk of injury is less in these conditions due to how much the game is slowed down.

I believe Conners QB got hurt in the 3rd quarter and another Conner player.

Why did a boatload of other schools in the state move their games? Just saying. Every other NKY game played tonight was on turf.

Conner plays with a 2 headed monster at QB. Hicks is the better player but only a sophomore so he doesn't get the respect he deserves. In a perfect world he plays every down.

Were they catosrtophic, traumatic injuries directly related to the weather conditions? I'm sure there were plenty of injuries in last night's games that had nothing to do with Tonight's weather.

Might have had something to do with the fact they wanted to avoid lightning/thunder delays. There were plenty of other games played on grass throughout the state.

Not really it was a mud pit. Conners only score was on 4th and goal. Simpson had a nice punt return to set it up. SK controlled most of the game.

 

You realize by trying to say it wasn't a good showing by Conner that you diminish SK's win, right? :lol2:
