How about Ryle making final of EKU 7 on 7. Apparently they have some good skill guys. If O-Line can block they maybe better on offense than some may think.

Most of Ryle's O-Line is back this year, they really only lost Ruckman.

Ryle did a nice job at EKU and the skill positions will surprise a lot of people. During the bracket portion of the tournament they scored on every drive but one playing some great teams like Frederick Douglass, ST. X - both teams (losing in the finals to ST X A at the last second). While 7 v 7 doesn't equate out to real season results I think Ryle will be a tough out in the district this year with 4 OL starters back and 8 defensive starters returning. Dixie has a slight edge with all the great athletes and experience they have coming back but should be a close one and the other thought is this district may have some of the best QB play going in NKY in 2021.

I'm looking forward to going to Ryle when St.X plays there later in season. I've never been there before so I think it will be good to visit.

Ryle has a lot of returning talent but has areas of need, they lost their entire interior DL and 3 starting WRs. It will be interesting to see how they fill in that DL and who steps up at WR.

They may have found some wide receivers based on how well they did at EKU 7 on 7. Dline could be a concern.

I really like Verax, he will be the QB to watch in KY over the next few years. They have some very athletic juniors who contributed as sophomores that are probably going to be the targets for the next couple years.

Don't forget Sr. TJ Pierson, he was injured at the beginning of 2020 but was the best DE on the team.

I think Dixie Heights wins this district with what they have coming back and how they did last year. 

I tend to agree with this take. Ryle isn't far off, though at all. If these two teams stay healthy should be one of the better games of the season. We have to wait and see how the non-district schedule plays out. I think on October 15th, when these two teams meet, The entire population of Northern Kentucky will be packed in two different stadiums, Dixie for this game or in Fort Thomas for the CovCath Highlands tilt. Where I give the edge to Dixie is the coaching staff. Dixie had some rough years after their state runner-up season. Over the last couple of seasons, they have put together a solid coaching staff and got a decent number of players it looks like.
