That's crap.

 

You've got a young and inexperienced team and a completely new system. Put that up against a strong GCL team, a veteran rival, and then the #1 team in the state and what do you expect?

 

They hammered the team they should have hammered.

 

The only loss that could even remotely be labeled as "disappointing" is the NCC loss. Not exactly a bad team themselves.

 

CCH is right where most rational people expected them to be at this point in the season.

I know you guys are young and inexperienced....I still think there is no way you should lose to Dixie or NCC....Just my opinion but that wouldn't fly in Ft.Thomas....:thumb:

I remember asking this question in the pre-season, "Do you people really think CCH is going to be that good?"

 

This is when some were calling for them to repeat as District champs. Funny thing is, HSSB and CSHS were the only ones to agree with me that they wouldn't be that good.

Dixie is better than CCH. Period.

 

NC was a disappointing loss.

I've said it a thousand times (hyperbole) that this team is playing for Week 11.

Mid-season musings:

1A

Dayton: Maybe a little better than I expected although I thought they would be #2. But wins over Holmes/Scott were good points. Still can't come close to handling that 1000 pound gorilla in Ft. Mitchell.

 

Bellevue: I think they played well Week 1 against Newport and then might have regressed from there at least consistency-wise. Should have crushed Paris but didn't, did okay with Ludlow, and did not do anything against NCC. I think the schedule isn't helping them.

 

Ludlow: Didn't play well against Bellevue and then could not last versus Dayton. Now injuries and a likely first round bouncing. About as expected.

 

Beechwood: Played fairly well to this point which was expected. No one in the district can touch them and it will be interesting as to how they tune up the rest of the way especially in games against non-district teams.

 

Brossart: As expected.

 

2A:

 

Lloyd: Little inconsistant, but maybe about as expected. Defense may be a little better than I thought, and offense might be a little more inconsistant than I thought they would be.

 

NCC: Maybe a little better on offense and defense than expected. But not in that well-oiled mode yet.

 

Newport: Thought they would be better on offense than they are. And the defense has been average which was expected.

 

Holy Cross: Thought they would be better than they've shown on offense, but the defense is better than what I thought they would be.

 

5A:

 

Highlands: About as expected, nothing stands out but offense, defense, special teams all contribute as expected.

 

Dixie: Thought they might try and outscore teams and the heck with defense but that hasn't happened. Might just be a cut below in a year that Highlands is pretty good.

 

CovCath: Thought before the season that they would struggle early and get good at the end. Offense suffered a blow with losing RB, but the defense is not bad and they will improve too. Needs to avoid Highlands in the first round and then take their shot if they get it.

 

Holmes: Up and down as expected with new staff. Missing the playoffs would have been unexpected though at the start of the season.

 

Scott: Win over Holmes was big especially after starting season badly. About as expected except they won the one they had to.

 

6A:

 

Conner: Thought they would be better.

 

Campbell Co.: Thought they would be better than they've shown, and it still might happen.

 

Ryle: Thought they would be good which they are, but thought they would be more balanced.

 

Boone Co.: Thought they would struggle early but they have not. Now they need to finish it off.

 

Simon Kenton: Thought they would be fairly tough in 6A but they started much worse they I thought they would. But may have turned it around with win over Ryle.

Dixie is better than CCH. Period.

 

NC was a disappointing loss.

 

From seeing both play...I would disagree. CovCath played both halves.

How is bellevue at 4-1 dissapointing?

How is bellevue at 4-1 dissapointing?

 

First, I never said they were disappointing. I said they regressed from Week 1consistency-wise.

 

I say that because they started out well by beating Newport although Newport is not a good team (0-4), but they played good defense and the offense did enough. Then they beat Paris (0-5) after only leading by 1 at the half and 7 with 2 minutes to go as oppossed to what LCA did to Paris the next week. Then they beat Ludlow (2-3) and played okay in that one, giving up a lot of yards but getting the important win. They never showed up on offense, defense, or special teams against NCC in a game they should not have won, but should not be down 35-0 with 7 minutes to go in the second quarter. The Brossart game is not even considered this year.

 

So they will be 5-1 after this week but facing three teams all capable of beating them in the next three weeks if they still don't have the consistency.

 

If they get a little more consistent they can win 2 of those games.

From seeing both play...I would disagree. CovCath played both halves.

 

What about the 25 second half yards impressed you?

How is bellevue at 4-1 dissapointing?

 

The thing about Bellevue is they only beat real bad teams when they play someone good they get blownout

What wouldn't fly, you're opinion? :banana: :banana:

Now that's funny.....:laugh:

Well we'll find out October 5th.

They found out two Fridays ago. It makes me crazy. Even the years when they have a good team that can compete vs more than Dayton and Ludlow they don't play anyone to get better. They are happy winning everygame by 6TD then come playoff time 2nd or 3rd round they get smacked. They need to try to play bigger schools IMO They could have had better playoff history I think if they were better prepared. No knock on the Tigers at all I just kind of feel bad for the kids

So what are you saying about the 2005 team? That it was a fluke?
