All of the kids who made the team are deserving and should be commended for their performances this year.

Sorry CovCath fans, but the coaches could not put your whole team on the all-northern kentucky team because there are multiple other football teams in Northern Kentucky who have some pretty good players also.

 

Congrats to all of the First and Second team. You are all entitled to your opinion, but you should not pick and choose kids that should not be on the team. If you or your kid did not make the team. Tough!!! Go win the State Championship and then ask the kid how much he cares about being left off the All Northern Kentucky team.

 

 

I think if you re-read the posts, you will also find Highlands and Holmes fans (as well as the Guru) questioning the selections as well. In fact, about the only thing they agree on is the fact the selections left somebody deserving off the teams (they would probably disagree about who should be on the teams).

I'm a NewCath fan, so there's no bias here. How does Vince Murray not make the first team...somewhere?

The Top 24 is the list that makes sure every school is covered.

 

This list should be about the best players not the "pretty good players."

This list is a JOKE!

Vince Murray not on first team is an absolute joke. He is the player of the year in Northern Kentucky. Hands down!

For everyone that didn't quite understand the Top 24 Selections this is the actual All-Northern KY selections voted by the coaches and NOT restricted to classes.

Do you know if this is the same selection that was in the Post on Thursday and they left out Special Teams and the O-Line or is this a different selection? I am Shane Popham's dad and I have been told several different stories, I am try to find out which is the correct version. Thanks

Just goes to show you that's why they are high school coaches, and not college scouts. They wouldn't know tallent if it bit them in the....

This list should be about the best players not the "pretty good players."

 

The NKY Top 24 are also kids that from what I understand get nominated for the "Thats My Boy" Award for kids that not only play football but are also good students or so they say. Apparently some schools don't always check the criteria for this award before sending a kids name in. The award should be for a kid who gives his best on the football field, is an excellent student and is liked and respected by fellow students, coaches and faculty. Hopefully some schools will do a better job before sending in someones name that doesn't meet these qualifications. Just being a good football player does not qualify one for the NKY Top 24 and especially the "Thats My Boy Award".

Even though we are saying how bad this list is....congrads to the guys who did make it!

Thank you! That was my whole point!

Amen brother!

 

Vince Murray is first team LB.

Although a Birds fan and nice to see several Birds on there... I wonder about a couple 2nd team picks. Outside of Schlosser and Hempfling who deserve recognition, I don't see any other Birds making this selection and if you are going to go with a DL from Ft. thomas... #92 had a better year than most. JMO....Koester prob had a better Jr year than Sr ..Congrats to all though no matter who picked.

How did Justin Young of Holmes not make the list as a LB when he was in the top 3 for total tackles ALL YEAR???

 

I agree, the list can't be complete without Justin Young name on it.

Vince Murray is first team LB.

 

Not according to the coaches
