As stated earlier in a way, you are comparing apples(1A) and oranges(4A) on who has to play who in the playoffs. Due to enrollment, the bigger schools are stuck playing the Louis schools, that is just the way it is. BHS can't help they have less kids than the 4A schools. They have to play the schools that have the same type enrollment so they have the same number of kids to choose from.

 

I think BHS has faired well over the last 20yrs against the bigger schools. In just the past 3yrs has CCH been able to man handle the Tigers where BHS had beaten CCH for 8 straight yrs and CCH winning a few State Championships in those 8 yrs.

 

You can say what you want but Beechwood isn't suppose to beat any of the big schools and some of the bigger schools would not schedule BHS in the past because they had nothing to gain by beating them and everything to lose if they got beat.

Not sure where you are going with this??

Not going anywhere, just a comment. BHS does pretty darn good playing the bigger schools every yr. This is what makes them so tough in the SINGLE A playoffs.

 

By the way Legend, help me out but is that a Pikeville letter jacket?

NKY doesn't see a Louisville 4A until the Finals this year. You might want to keep up with the bracket changes before you wax pontific on them...

I have found out very quickly that some posters just like to argue about anything and everything. As I do agree, that scrimmages and past games do not mean anything having beat a team does have a mental advantage.

 

As for BHS QB throwing floaters, you need to quit doing that nose candy so you have clear sight of what you are watching. He throws a bullet and has picked every team apart. As for stopping Bankemper, wouldn't happen. No team has done it yet even CCH.

 

Wow!!! Anyway, if you consider those passes bullets, you haven't seen a bullet. NewCath shut down Bankemper. Beechwood's coaches were smart, went to the spread and that's how they beat NewCath. NewCath's DB's could not cover Beechwood's receivers. The balls that the QB threw had a lot of air under them. Against a team with a decent secondary, ala Boone and Ryle, those balls are picked off. Good to see that you can be objective though:thumb:

I must say I get a kick out of all the posts on here talking about how "down" Beechwood is this year. Not being a fan of theirs by any stretch, but to say they are down is amusing to me. They beat teams by playing solid fundamental football and keeping turnovers to a minimum. They are obviously very well coached and make the necessary adjustments to win games. And I also think they will make the trip to Louisville again this year.

 

I believe that they will make the trip again as well, but I think it's due to the fact that the East is weak. NewCath is bad this year, they make way too many mental mistakes, Holy Cross is going to be exposed, and the rest of the district is fighting for one spot. I have watched Beechwood for the past 15 years as well as NewCath. I have seen great Beechwood teams that you knew were going to make it to the carpet, and good NewCath teams that you had a good feeling about. I don't see that this year. Beechwood does not have the offense this year that they've had in years past. Tommy is a very hard runner and great back, but they need a change of pace back that can break the long one, ala Scotty Coyle or Brett Brockoeft. This is Danville's title to lose at this point. As to the original point, I feel that Beechwood is no. 5 behind Highlands, CovCath, Boone, and Ryle. There's no shame in that.

It is the high school of the legendary Al Bundy, Polk High

Last time I checked, a QB was suppose to loft a fade pass! If shutting Bankemper down is holding him to under 150 yds but allowing him to gain over 100, I will take that.

 

You are right, Beechwood has no break away speed except at the wideout position. Elliot has speed but does not get to use it often in this offense.

 

I am as objective as they come. BHS is good at the skilled positions and weak on the line this yr. However, the line is getting better just in time for the playoffs.

 

Danville has to get past a very good Bardstown team and then Mayfield. I remember last yr everybody talking about Danville and look what happened. No team is a lock as the BHS faithful know to well.

You are correct. There is no shame in being #5. However, I do believe the Beechwood offense is good enough to get the job done. As an earlier post said the line is getting better and they run the ball well. I also agree that it will be against Danville in the finals.

I don't believe that Tommy had over a 100 yards, but I may be wrong. The QB had a good game against NewCath, but his passes to have air under them, and I'm not talking about the game winning pass to the WR, who does have break away speed. Beechwood is the best 1A team in the east, but this is not a good Beechwood team by Beechwood standards. Maybe they'll gel and turn into a really good team. I just don't see them being there yet.

I could be wrong also but I think the only game Bankemper did not have a 100 yds was last week against Bellevue and he had 80. Pete Kayiatos has as much break away speed as anyone in NKY, the WR.

With that last statement, we finally agree. Kid's got some wheels.
