Like I mentioned in the update thread, this game helps prepare Ryle for another postseason run. 

I know CAL isn't like most schools in lower classes, but I feel like 10-20 years ago most folks would've laughed or fired back at a comment like that. I think some years some schools in the smaller classes are just that good. And people are finally waking up to it. 

Jacob Savage & Ja’Hyde Brown were absolutely the best players on the field tonight & proved why they are future FBS P4 players.  If Ryle can find a way to get Savage a few more breathers during games, they’ll be very tough to contend with down the stretch.

And I would have been one of the folks laughing and firing back 10-20 years ago, I sure as heck wouldn't have said it. ?

I hear ya. Any 5A or 6A team losing to a school 3A or below, was a bad loss, regardless of how good the team was.

Understand what you’re saying. But Can’t agree with that because Beachwood, Mayfield and Pikeville a lot years have had good teams and the depth to beat 5A and 6A teams 

Apparently the experiment playing Pfeifer one series and Burke the next is over. Burke attempted 27 passes and Pfeifer only 7.

With their schedule, CAL rarely plays close games. Therefore, alternating QB’s is fine. In tight games it will be Burke. 

It was pretty telling in the 2nd half, stopped alternating and went with Burke and he answered the bell. Manages the O so well.  The game icing drive that we had to have, Burke was cool and collected  always. And that’s at 6A Ryle with the place packed and the cannon firing. No knock on Pfeiffer as he has played very well, but I would think it’s Burke’s show from here on.

Agree and I believe that CAL is the 3rd best team in KY at this time after T and X.

Our world needs more of this togetherness and respect. Kudos to Ryle and CAL!
