…and here’s where he continued his pitch that SK should be ranked.

I had Highlands as one of the top teams in NKY before the season started so kick rocks!

Probably because you knew SK played them Week 2.

Unfortunately, Highlands hasn’t shown to be very good at all.

Since 1998, Simon Kenton is now 5-4 versus Highlands.

@Royal Bluei totally agree. To me this was a Pepto Bismol week and got my stomach settled. You lose by 2 with a QB that became QB1 7 days ago, I say this was as close to a win as you can get without having more points than the other team. Other then cramps we should all be healthy for next week. Poor Camels got something coming for them!

Oh man, I hope Highlands doesn’t take the moral victory route. They just need to get better. And they will. With Benke getting all the snaps and it showed tonight that he is the better QB at this moment. Highlands will be fine. That was a team tonight that came to play, unlike last week. Kudos to the coaching staff and players for not letting last week get to them. Now there can’t be any let down for next week. That needs to be a statement game for more reasons than I can count. 
 

SK is a good team. Of course they go as Crone goes. Very seasoned QB. And SK is huge. For sure won the battle up front leading to all their running.

Good luck to both teams rest of season! 
 

ps….Highlands will use its full 180 min each day next week preparing. Nothing more, nothing less!

NKY football as a whole has changed a lot since then.  SK still struggles to pull in the elite athletes and speed that Jefferson County schools get but they've got a good base.  The growth over the past 20 years has helped other programs like Ryle and Cooper as well.

Sticking with one QB will do as much for consistency as anything. Impossible for anybody to get/stay in rhythm with three QBs.

With all 5 wins coming in the last 7 years. Highlands was 40-75 Pts better than SK from 1998-2014. The comparison between the teams only applies to more recent history since Highlands has fallen off.

1998 ..... Highlands 28 Simon Kenton 12

Highlands was 15-0 state champions. That was their lowest offensive output of the season.

Benke did impress me. I don’t know anything about the other players taking snaps the week before, but based on what I saw tonight, he would be my quarterback moving forward.

Serious question. First and goal from the one and pass gets intercepted. Why are the Birds throwing the ball in that situation?

Sometimes coaches outthink themselves.

I think daddy ball was disproved.  I think Simon is a little better.  Highlands' district is wide open, on to Campbell County.

You talk with Bill? On to Cincinnati.
