A little puzzled by the failure to mention the #1 tight end recruit in the nation here ... surely Michael Mayer will add a little to the receiving corps ...

 

Well besides the fact that I kind of felt like Michael was kind of a given...I think the stats would show that Michael was more of a threat that Cov Cath held onto in their back pocket last season, so to speak. Their passing game with their receiver corps was their primary blow, and Michael was another weapon in their offensive repertoire.

 

No offense was intended to Michael at all, obviously.

I’m sure Michael wasn’t offended. Primary job in 17 was to wreak havoc on D. Mission accomplished. Excited

to see him in 18.

Who replaces South Warrens QB?

Spurrier was only a junior, he will be back?

Didn’t say QB doesn’t matter. They were at least 5 TD’s better than everyone in NKY last year. Do you really think because they lost the QB and a few other guys that they are going to fall that far back? They put running clocks on everyone in KY and the QB rarely played more than 2 or 2.5 qtrs.

 

Your exact quote was "i don't care who the QB is". This year will show just how good AJ and Butler really were.

What I meant as far as the QB goes, with the weapons and size at the skill positions, the QB will be fine at Cov Cath. This is high school not college. I am not a Cov Cath fan but as an outside observer and watching them play and what they have coming back, I think it’s wishful thinking on your part to think they will take a big step back next year. Which will he needed for teams in NKY to beat them. The only NKY team to beat next years Cov Cath seniors in their freshman, sophomore and junior seasons was beechwood when they were freshman. I think Highlands has a chance to be better but in my opinion they won’t beat Cov Cath in 2018.

Considering they beat every team this season by a wide margin and people have been complaining about the things I mentioned for years, yes I am.

 

It was fine when Highlands was winning title after title (before Dale left), but now that CCH's program is building and the feeder system is becoming stronger, I'm sure that it won't be long until they start chiming in.

 

So are you saying that the people from the Highlands camp will complain. If so, please! bahahahaha!!!

What will it matter if highlands plays 4A?

Cov Cath is on the precipice of being 4A. I believe they are one of the smallest 5A schools.

Woodford will have a great year. 25 seniors returning. Sleeper

Are you saying since CCH won a state title in 5A, and should have another shot at the 5A title this coming season, that people will want to separate the publics and privates in NKY? That's funny. :lol2:

 

I won't bring my winning tradition dog in this fight, but, a couple other teams/programs in NKY might chime in. :wave:

 

One in a row won't do it, two in a row won't do it. But if CCH were somehow to put a run together like HHS did for 8 straight years, then combined with Trinity's dominance I could see the talk growing.

There are seven schools with lower enrollment numbers in 5A. Covcath is larger than South Warren, Frederick Douglas, Whitley County, Collins, Johnson Central, Logan County, and Hopkinsville.

The Kings game is September 7th and the SFD game is September 21st.

That would have things falling out like this. August 17th seemed awfully early for a first football game of the season, but after running the dates through, that would have the first week of playoffs starting on the first Friday of November.
