SK did the same thing last week. Not sure beating up on this CCH team is the brag they think it is.

It nothing at all to brag about. This is lame and weak and typical Beechwood. Hanging your hat on beating this Colonel Frosh is pretty desperate

This sums up football right here for sure. That was a great team and I had no idea about their rough start. That is a great story to hear and entirely comparable.

Entirely comparable bc this CCH freshman team has already won state.

Got it.

First of all, no one is questioning the heart of these freshman kids. It's certainly valiant, but to say other teams don't face similar adversity is close-minded.

In one breath you say St. Henry will have zero impact on CCH and in another you say St. Henry gained players that would have went to CCH. That math ain't mathing. You're trivializing kids who WERE in your program, but decided to go elsewhere. You say they had "no impact" and they were "zero loss". Man, that's tough to say about a kid. Given how injured CCH is right now, those kids could be helpful right now.

Who is this Freshman QB you speak of that no one has heard of? What Middle School did he go to? He may very well be "special" as you say, but I know of no other high-level MS QBs not named Jaxston Moeves, Ben Jackson, or Ethan Hopkins. After last night, I may include Nolan Shafer on that list. Once again, this QB may be the next coming and I'm 100% interested to hear about him. Legitimately, no sarcasm.

Brayden would not be at St. Henry right now if they didn't have a football team. You're lying to this forum or yourself if you think otherwise. To say this unknown player is more of an athlete than Brayden is wild. All the more reason why I have to know who you're speaking of. Brayden isn't a QB so he may not have QB skills, but he's a freak of an athlete and would most certainly help the product CCH is putting on the field right now.

You say only those "not in the know" are worried, yet when confronted with the fact that "those in the know are worried", you say they're overreacting. Well, which is it? Are they "not in the know" or are they "overreacting"?

Like I said earlier, I'm of the opinion that CCH will be just fine (and NKY football is better when the top teams, including CCH, are good), but highly disagree with your take that St. Henry will have ZERO impact on CCH. ZERO is such a powerful word. "Little" I could buy. "Small"? Ok. "Limited"? Probably better. That's the only point I was trying to make. With that said, if you want to continue to push, I will happily engage on pointing out the falsehoods you continue to make.

I mean you truly have issues. I cannot keep spoon feeding these simple concepts to you.

Nope in 2029 this Frosh has already been crown National Champs and won the CFP and the newly minted European Champion commissioned just for them since the first 2 Championships were soooooo easy for them. All starters skipped College and went straight to starting in the NFL. Roll Colonels as usual!!!

I totally get it. The best way to counter an unwinable argument is to respond with total nonsense.

You both got a pretty good shot in at the other.

Please, let's get back to the topic at hand and the two of you can take it to PMs, again, please.

Pretty sure they just beat the varsity and JV as well.

I consider this "the ZING of the week”…”strong-to-quite-strong' on multiple fronts 😂

I also think there's little-to-no-doubt that St Henry's football start-up will have "some' impact on Cov Cath. The totality OR degree of that impact will likely not be immediately clear / obvious.

I'd also say, from my perspective / imo, freshman & JV results (in most sports / @ most schools) mean next to nothing...I think @ most schools those 'levels' are OR should be leveraged exclusively for development, reps, etc VS being strictly measured by game outcomes.

It will be similar to the impact of Brossart on NewCath. There are several players at Brossart that would contribute at NewCath. Saint Henry will get a few players that would help CovCath in some type of role as the program continues to grow. It will impact the amount of quality depth CovCath has on the team.
