We have ourselves a nice little battle going on in the Fort tonight. The team from Park Hills travels into the Fort to face the undefeated Highlands Bluebirds. This should be a fun physical, spirited match like it has been for 40 years!

Also, I thought with the new reconfigured/reconstructed Tower Park Soccer Complex with the FT Film & Broadcasting crew streaming home games I thought this might be a nice game for everyone to take a look at the new pitch!

Cov Cath comes in with a record of 4-2-5, having probably the best Goalkeeper between the pipes in NKY potentially in the state! They are licking their wounds from taking the loss against Lex Cath on Tue 1-2.

Highlands comes in with a clean 9-0-1 record, the only game they didn't win was the heat lightning shortened game at half duel against Cooper. They are riding high after beating Dixie at Dixie 2-0 on Tuesday, Cov Cath also beat Dixie 2-0 earlier in the season.

If you can't attend, enjoy the stream!

GO BIRDS!!!!

What a beautiful soccer complex!

Cov Cath leads 1-0 at intermission.

The track and field portion looks impressive too. Well done Fort Thomas.

1-1 final.

A tie, yuck!

I even asked Google about it.

Here is why sports fans usually react with a "yuck" to a tie:

• No Closure: Sports are built on drama, competition, and finding out who is better. A tie leaves the story unfinished.

• Wasted Effort: Fans feel like they just spent two to three hours watching a game, and players feel like they exhausted themselves, all for "nothing" to be decided.

• The "Kissing Your Sister" Cliché: There is a famous saying in sports that "tying is like kissing your sister"—it is familiar, but there is absolutely no excitement in it.
