Yep, that's right. The Streak is over at 38. The Birds fought valiantly. Both teams played well.

 

There are some hurting kids in Ft. Thomas tonight. Deal with the pain tonight; it will pass. Get up tomorrow morning with the resolve to start a new one and remember the pain. Work even harder to get better. The talent is there boys. Win out and meet Ryle in a rematch at the end of the season. Keep your heads high...you're Highlands football players and there are a whole lot of people in this town that are very proud of you and pulling for you.

Now is the time to begin the next streak! We know you can do it Men. Now go out and show everyone what you are made of. In three years, Ft. Thomas will look back on your team as the guys that started the streak!

So how did it play out? Ryle score late and earn the 2 to win it?

Yes. Scored with under 3:00 to play and then stuck the 2 in. HHS defense once again played well but the offense just can't seem to get it into gear. They'll have a few nice plays and then a penalty or mistake stalls the drive. They'll get it worked out. I would like to see a little more enthusiasm from the boys. Maybe they've been feeling the pressure of the streak.

Congrats to the Raiders. Always nice to see a team go for the win.

Nothing to be ashamed of, only losing by 1 and being the 2nd game of the season not to mention the stress of keeping the streak alive. Now that the monkey is off their back they can relax and play football the way they are capable. I know they have a ton of talent on that team. Congrats to the Raiders on their road victory.

Agreed. You could definetly tell it was a huge game for Ryle after last season. They were pumped up all night and played with a lot of emotion while HHS looked tight. I hope it was just the streak. Congrats to Ryle on a nice win on the road.

Best of luck to the boys the rest of the season...I hope the young guys remember its just a game and go out start another streak

No loss is going to take away what this and the other HHS freshman teams have accomplished!

 

No loss is going to take away your role in continuing the HHS tradition--now, and in the years ahead.

Look ahead, and win the next game! :thumb:

Nothing wrong with shooting for and going 9-1.:thumb:

Congratulations to Coach Barr and all the players who were able to be a part of a streak that stretched over 5 seasons (3 full and parts of 2 others)

 

This was a great accomplishment for a guy who has been the head frosh coach at Highlands since 1979. His first team went undefeated and unscored on.

 

Coach, I think you have another big streak in you.

His first team went undefeated and unscored on.

I vaguely remember that team!

To bad the baby birds won't see Ryle again this season, since SK handled the Raiders last week. After beating Boone 34 to 0 tonight, SK must only beat Scott and Conner to get the birds for two games this year with the way the divisions are set up. Ryle is a great team, so I only wonder how good SK really is right now after last week's 12 point win over Ryle. Is SK the best team up here?

Out of curiosity, when did HHS's streak begin?

Is SK the best team up here?

 

Campbell County Freshman is pretty dang good too.
