Beechwood 41 Moeller 0 - HALFTIME 

Did this end up being the final score?

Nevermind, I found it. Final score of Beechwood vs. Moeller (B) was 41-13 Tigers, and final score of Highlands vs. Cooper was 34-8 Bluebirds.

I believe that puts Highlands at CCH next week in the 1 vs 2 match.

Beechwood will host Ryle in the 3 vs 4 match.

I believe it is Cooper hosting Conner in 5 vs. 6.

 

They are doing a 3rd place game and a 5th place game in Freshman football? Very odd to me. How about you make the championship game or move on to basketball try outs?

If you are into football I think it is pretty cool.

Is it a bad thing if the kids get to play an extra game? It’s literally one more week of football.

5 of the 9 northern Kentucky football programs that field exclusively freshman teams only get to play 9 games this season. The other 4 managed to successfully schedule 10 games. Think about all the time those kids spend with training and practice just for the opportunity to only play in 9 games in the course of an entire year. I don't know that there is a single sport that has fewer games/matches/meets in a single season. And you're suggesting to not give those kids the opportunity to play as many games as they have the chance to? Very odd to me.

Also, the way they worked the schedules this year, all of the teams simply left the final game of the season as TBD, and they scheduled it based on wins/losses to decide 1st thru 5th places. I think it's pretty cool, personally, but I guess that's just me.

Yes, I'm sure the kids are highly motivated to win their 5th place medal. Any word on a 7th place game?

I would assume most of the players are highly motivated to play another competitive game.

These aren't extra games added onto the season to award medals. The coaches just took what would have still been the final week of the regular season and asked teams to leave their final opponent as to-be-determined. After tonight's games, they'll have determined opponents for the final week of the season based on rankings from the rest of the season results.

This isn't "everybody gets a trophy". I promise, it'll all be okay. Take a couple deep breaths and let the kids play sports. If you're not interested in that, you can always check out what's going on with basketball try outs. ?

This isn’t an everybody gets a medal thing. It’s get one more game. What I’d give to have one more high school football game.

You think basketball try outs are happening when they are missing all the football players?

I promise, man, it's gonna be okay.

I think I'll survive. Just found the additional game odd for teams not in the championship. You want to play an additional game? Make it to the championship! Someone want to start a JV playoff system? They are the ones who could use additional games. They play fewer than the Freshman teams before this extra game was added.

It’s still football season.

The game isn't additional.
