It was a simple question.  Learned that they are missing their running back and quarterback from someone else.  Did not realize that asking a question would ruffle feathers.

Starting QB played all of first game and got hurt vs Brossart.  Yes they are struggling on offense.  They have one RB out but Mykell King is the main back and he has played both games.

This is shaping up like the year that Brossart may meet New Cath in the playoffs.

Unless things have changed, we both go different directions in the playoffs.

Last two years NCC has played Louisville Holy Cross in the first round out of their own district, and the Brossart district has gone to Williamsburg/Paintsville.

It is certainly possible, but I think we would both have to go a couple or a few games deep out of our respective district playoffs.

Yes, semifinals is where they could meet.

Don't worry about Newport. They are just fine! 

0-2 is not fine. Scoring what maybe 16 points in the first 2 games vs a coach at a new school with a new offense an defense and then losing to brossart (who is a good team) but Newport should have the better athletes on the field in just about every game they play. This comes down to coaching. The new coach was supposed to be the messiah and make the last one look like a toddler and the old coach came into Newport stadium and won. Mykel king will be the best player on the field in every game but 1 that they play in and we see how they can’t score. Not on the kids. All on coaching. So no, Newport is not alright.

Interesting! What made everyone think new coach was to be “the messiah” as you say? I hope kids do well. There are some quality coaches in the program. Maybe they can turn it around. Kids deserve it. Still early!

Kids absolutely deserve it. They are kids and a lot of good young men there. But the new coach was put on to be better than what they had and looking back they were pretty good before. I heard things such as he will bring the program back and yada yada. They were already back with winning seasons.
