Ryle fans and players congratulations on making your first State game. This is without question a major turning point for your program. This is great for Northern Kentucky football. I hope that Ryle is everything that the fans are saying they are in these threads. For the last two weeks the Rocks have had to play the best teams in the state. Speed, size and depth the whole ball of wax. Now it appears we will be playing the best team from NK since the 94 Boone team. Thursday will be very interesting.

T wins this one....

Unless the weather is bad so much for an exciting 4A State Championship.

I have been told that Minniefield runs a 4.6. I doubt that Murray is a legit 4.6. The speeds that people post on this site are absurd. One guy had a 2A school in central Kentucky with 3 sub 4.5 guys. Thats about how many they had at the Indy NFL combine.

 

 

Yeah, if timed correctly the NFL guys can hardly run that fast. I'm sure he's got some wheels but I promise if one would run at at the NFL combine his time would not be that fast. I'm sure he's fast though:walk:

I got sick of reading the "Ryle is no Big III" and "Ryle by 21" because that's all garbage. This is the best 4A team from Northern KY since Boone 94'. That team didn't pass at all period and this team does. Ryle is big, fast, very tough, and has about 6 kids that just make plays. Then they have Murray who is phenomenal. They also have a very good coaching staff and they're on a roll. They lost to Este without their QB and lost to a pretty good Boone team. They aren't going to be "more physical" they are going to go out and play their game. They may make some adjustments but recently the defense has been lock down and I don't expect that to change.

 

Ryle is a good football team but they are not the best NKY 4A team since 94 Boone. They have made farther because of the system this would have been a 2nd round game if they used last years system. I think this Ryle team is good But you can't discount other teams from NKY 4A that had to play Lou. schools earlier than the Finals. Good Luck to Ryle you will need it

 

Ryle better hope they don't have to throw the ball to win this game, they have an efficient but far from a decent passing game

 

With all that said good luck Ryle, The last time Trinity lost a Playoff game someone in your district beat them.

Agreed.

Trinity wins another one 35-16.

What 4A team was better? Their record is certainly as good if not better than any of the other teams and their defense is incredible. Good defense, plus Gray and Murray makes them very good. I haven't seen anyone in 4A out of NKY better since 94'.

What else do you want? Video from a combine? 4.6 isn't that special in high school and Vince has that speed, I promise. No one that's seen him play on here is objecting it...

I would take Boone in '02 and '04 but that discussion is not for this thread.

Boone's defense was no where near good enough those two seasons to compare the two.

Like I said... this discussion is for a different thread. I'm going to wait and see what happens Thursday night to make my mind up.

Doesn't matter what I say we will never know But in 2004 one NKY 4A team went undefeated, in the reg. season another beat Trinity at Trinity holding them to 10 points when they scored 34 points or more in all but 2 games prior to that (sounds like a good Defense) and finally A different team beat them Both and win the region. 2004 was a good year in NKY 4A and I am not sure this Ryle team is as good as any of those teams.

... But with that said it doesn't matter they don't have to be they just have to be better than Trinity on Thursday and they will be State Champs and no NKY 4A team has ever done that.

Both teams are very athletic , and have many playmakers. I except Ryan Luster to have a break out game for Ryle , and pull off the win againts Trinity.

 

Ryle-28

Trinity-27

That's why I said, "Or something absurd." The fact is he is incredibly fast for his size and is an animal at LB.

I know this sounds weird but I am more scared of great DB's than a LB in our scheme.

That is the exact position on Ryle's football team that makes me think that they can compete with Trinity.
