What's your thoughts of Kentucky Country Day jumping to number 1 in a two weeks? If they could beat Lexington Christian this week that would give them a very good win over a top 5 2A team who has beat some very good competition. But also for this to play out Beechwood would have to lose to Simon Kenton.

So what do you think and do you think they'd be worthy?

Barring some kind of meltdown by Beechwood in the second half of the season, they're the King Cobra. KCD will have to cut the head off to be in the number one spot. And that game won't take place until November.

 

It's not a big secret that I have pretty decent access to the Bearcats. It has been a joy to watch this senior class grow up together, play together, win and lose together. So in a week like this, with an extremely good team coming to town, the focus has to be on pretty much the following mantra--love the game, love each other, play hard.

 

I've watched Lexington Christian. They are a superior team to KCD. They don't have any weak spots in the lineup. As a 1a school that doesn't have a Beechwood, Raceland, Paintsville, Pikeville, Hazard, etc. tradition to bring out the numbers each year, KCD will have some weaker links in the chain this Friday. And LCA's coaches will exploit those weak spots.They are super coaches and they have a better team.

 

But here's where the joy comes in. The scoreboard reflects what the team produces. Football isn't basketball where one player can carry the team on his back and get the win. So I expect the score on Friday to reflect the better team. But it'll be a joy to watch some of KCDs kids, who are every bit as talented as any in the state compete. Those kind of kids should be excited to play against a bigger school that's awfully good.

 

You don't work hard and get pumped up for a team that you will dominate and see a running clock by the 3rd quarter. You sweat and struggle all year to compete against the best. Win or lose, if you love the game....that's where the joy comes.

 

May Friday on Springdale road be a joyful celebration of hard work and opportunity converging. LCAs gonna win most likely, but here's to making it memorable.

Nice post General ...

Thanks....this is high school football after all. Many of those on this site played it and would give anything to go back and put on the helmet one more Friday night. And being a senior on a good team, that's such a blessing and a curse. Every game is precious, and it sprints by so quickly.

 

Do you have the maturity as an 17-18 year old to understand how special this time is? And what do you do with that understanding when games like this present themselves. Romps are fun, but they're fast food for the soul. Challenges....that's what makes much of this worthwhile.

I was hoping to get some more conversation out of this.

Kind of hard to follow the General there BAC ...

I agree.

If they win and the dominoes fall in place, then yes.

I don't think a 1A school losing to a good 6a school is basis to drop in the rankings.

 

Beechwood's win over Corbin is the best in the class so far.

 

I don't think KCD really comes that class to LCA but even with that win, Beechwood is still deserving. Their overall resume is too strong.

 

At the end of the day, doesn't matter. That game will happen

Very well put,winterweather....strong arguments. Most of this stuff is just fun to debate back and forth and then you get a chance to play. That's why it's been enjoyable to read through these types of threads, and that's why I love seeing what the weekly polls are saying, the LIT ratings, the Calpreps numbers....it's a wonderful snapshot in time when you're 5-0 ranked way up high and enjoying your season.

 

I too think that the KCD/Beechwood game has a decent chance of happening( I certainly understand why Ludlow, Frankfort and Holy Cross probably feel like they might just as well be in that game rather than KCD) But if the regional final from last year repeats itself....what a fun week of anticipation that will be for so many Bearcat followers! Let's hope we get a chance to see that game....until then, like so many at the Oscars, KCD is just honored and happy to be nominated.

KCD wins over LCA and Beechwood gets easily defeated by SK and I would put KCD at number 1.. I don't think it is going to happen so no worries.

 

Bigger goal would be for KCD to play LCA tough. Common opponent Walton Verona would indicate that KCD has a lot of work to do.
