If Schwalbach, Sparks, Cramer, Starkey and Huber are back, HHS in a shootout 42-38

Time for Ryle to be what some think they can be. Win big. Make a statement.

Ryle 28 Highlands 14

Birds will have a hard time stopping the ground game.

I agree with much is what has been said! It should be good insight to both teams and the outcome will depend a lot on who is available for HHS.

Ryle 28 Highlands 14

I haven't seen Ryle this year. I understand they have a great rushing attack. It looks like their passing game is barely existent from the KHSAA stat book. If I was defensive coordinator for the 'Birds I would put that extra guy in the box, have a guy stocking Chisolhm (New) and force them to pass the football. If I was offensive coordinator I would kick-off the game with short quick passing with shots deep sprinkled in to set up the run.

 

The Bellechick method of taking away their best weapon would work wonders in this game. The birds have a shot if they have a smart game plan and are healthy. Otherwise that Ryle run game could do some damage.

So is that the list of who is officially out for this game? If so, this will be rough one.

Right, that is 3 of their LB's in Sparks, Huber and Starkey. I guess Soph Mason Schwalbach will have to anchor that position if they are out.

 

The Birds will need to test the Ryle DB's in this one. I would let Venamen run all night until someone defends him.

I hope they are all available.

No, not a list of who is out officially. They were out for last game (either before or during), so I would say they are at least questionable for this one. I hope they are all back or it could be a long night.

Ryle wins by 3+ TDs

[Sbarnes]

This should be a good game to watch. I'm taking Ryle on this match up. 24-17

Exactly, any team that plays Ryle has to take Chisholm out of the game. If you stop Chisholm, you stop Ryle.

[John Anthony]

I feel like Ryle is 14 points better.

Easier said than done you also have to worry about England also.

It's not often I say this about Ryle, but they are tougher than Highlands and will win going away.
