Don't you think it's time to get to work. The lovely heat awaits you.

Ryle better win the special teams side of the game if they want to stay in this one, but I dont see it happening. Highlands 14, Ryle 7 at the half. Highlands will be in better shap and win this one by 28!

I think most netural observers would peg this game as one to watch if they had their choice, making it the game of the week. 4a runner up vs perennial power. Is HHS back? Can Ryle keep it going?

 

No chance. Game of the Week is Beechwood Dixie. Its expected to be, unlike this game, very competitive.

Ok what time is the game as of right now. I was told 7. KHSAA says 7:30. http://scoreboard.12dt.com/scoreboard/khsaa/kyfb07?id=24749

 

I read that NKY coaches decided to start all games at 7:00 this year and that Scott was the only one sticking to 7:30.

 

FWIW

THE HIGHLANDS VS. RYLE GAME HAS BEEN MOVED TO 8:00

Can't see it. A mid level 5a vs a 1a powerhouse? Competitive? Yes. Marquee? No. I'll take 6a runnerup vs 5a powerhouse everytime. Of course, I believe Ryle is no one year wonder and I am one of the minority who expect this game to be competitive.

I hope you are right in re the Highlands Ryle game not being competitive, with Highlands being the big winner. But I don't see it that way. I think its going to be a lot closer than people think.

 

If Dixie has worked as hard this off season as some have alluded to, I think Dixie's margin of victory will be greater than Highlands. Beechwood's good, don't get me wrong, and they are somewhat quicker than last year, but in this type of weather, Beechwood's single platooning is going to play a big role in the game plus they are still playing some of their "big boys" both ways and after watching their jv scrimmage against Highlands, they don't have much depth. Plus, I expect Dixie's special teams to out perform Beechwood's.

 

Don't get me wrong; I would love Beechwood to paste Dixie (sorry Sandy and Red Heat) as that would make me feel real good about our future matchup with the Red Colonels. But I don't think its going to happen (sorry Ru).

 

I expect Dixie to win by 21. Highlands will not have any such advantage against Ryle. With 90 kids on the squad and supposedly only a couple of kids playing both way, the heat won't be near the factor with them as it will be for the Tigers. Highlands on the other hand, while excellently conditioned, has a lot of kids playing both ways.

 

I expect the Dixie Beechwood game to close at first before Dixie pulls away. On the other hand, I expect Highlands to be up early, with Ryle getting back in the game late.

LN - if HHS played Bracken County, you know you would be saying "I think this game is going to be closer than many think.";)

 

Your point on the heat affecting the Tigers is legit assuming Dixie has enough players to platoon.

I don't know how this game is going to turn out, but given that it pits the second-winningest KY football program of all time (and 16-time state champ) against a team that reached the state's big-school championship game last year for a season-opening matchup should give it some claim to being the NKY game of the week.
