Highlands (2-2) travels to Union to face the Ryle Raiders (3-1) this Friday. These two teams faced each other just a short time ago in a very physical and spirited scrimmage. This should be another great addition to what is becoming an NKY rivalry. 

Highlands 35 to 14

Should be a good one. I look for both teams to play well with a lot of intensity. Ryle must take better care of the pigskin. 

If Highlands keeps getting personal fouls and other silly penalties they’ll lose this one. 

I take Ryle in a close one.

I predict that (859) Sports Radio will bring you an amazing broadcast with Mark Wehry and Kevin Connor in the booth and Bill Bartlett back on camera!  Can't wait to bring you this one live.  Going to be one of the top regular non district games of the year, as always.  

Hoping for my Birds but I will take Ryle.

Ryle and Highlands scrimmaged 5 weeks ago on Aug 9th.  From the past encounter, has one team improved more than the other that would change/alter earlier results?

The HHS team that I saw scrimmage Ryle 5 weeks ago has not shown back up... yet. I am hoping to see that team back this Friday. If that team doesn't show up and play more disciplined football than they have played the last couple of weeks, I do not see them leaving Union with a win.

As mentioned after that scrimmage, Ryle was playing without some key players and appeared to keep things very vanilla by design. Since then, most of those players have found their way back onto the field. My guess, Highlands looks different today than they did 5 weeks ago too.

I think this is a toss-up game. Ryle’s defense has been playing well. Offense had way too many turnovers last week. Highlands has a lot of quality players and are well coached. I think whoever wins the turnover battle wins.
 

I’m taking Ryle 21-14.

I'm taking Ryle 14-10 in a very physical game.  

Going with Ryle.
