Beechwood prevails in the NKY freshman championship.

 

Impressive win for the Tigers freshman. Any stats?

One comment. When a team is up 30 something to 15 and a boys helmet gets ripped off by an opposing player. Adults stand up and call FAKER FAKER to the face mask call and the child. Who has class?

If you are going to quote something get it right. We (me included) were not happy with a facemask call when it appeared clear to us that the helmet was not grabbed by the facemask. No one was saying FAKER FAKER, I'm not even sure how you would fake having your helmet ripped off your head.

My point exactly we were 10 feet from the women yelling Faker Faker. Front or back a helmet should not be ripped off by or touched by a defensive player

I just want to say congrats to the Beechwood players and coaches. I heard the Vocke kid had a whale of a game. 5 touchdowns.

Is this is what to come in the future with the varsity level talking about next year?

I don't know if you have ever played the game, but I can assure you that no one intentionally tries to rip an opposing players helmet off his head. I thought the young man (there are no children out there) showed a lot of heart and determination fighting for every yard he could get even without his helmet.

The Birds made their own bed that is for sure tonight.

 

Take nothing away from the Tigers as they have a very good squad. #40 Staton and #42 Vocke were the catalyst. Taylor Davis their QB was very good as well, especially staying in the pocket on that backbreaking 71 yrd TD throw across teh middle to Vocke.

 

I thought the Birds came out in the 2nd half and started blocking allowing True and McGurn to gain great yardage. McGurn's TD run was a thing of beauty, he has great field vision. True had a very good TD run called back by a holding penalty as well.

 

On Defense I thought Ben Dupont #1 played a whale of a game and tackled well. I noticed several kids wanting to tackle high though which either led to the Beechwood runner either shagging them off or carrying them for extra yardage.

 

Penalties killed the Birds. They had the Tigers pinned in their own territory and punting only down 7 with tons of time left and got called for illegal substitution. That is ridiculous and was the turning point of the game. This literally took the air out of the Birds.

 

Quillen #17 got hurt after the first series and never returned, does anyone have a report on him? Ringwald, Iles, Chambers all hurt and DNP in this game.Say all you want that was huge.

 

I thought the officials called a great game and there were some questionable calls like the personal foul on #37 for the Birds. I dont know what they want him to do to get him out of bounce other than give him a big kiss and sit him down. A few holding calls were not made that were huge but I think those probably went both ways.

 

Overall two good football teams going head to head. Like someone said in an earlier thread though, Frosh football doesnt necessarily equate to excellent Varsity football. With that said, I would bet this Beechwood Frosh class becomes a dominant force in Class A soon enough.

 

Highlands has no worries as this is a very athletic class with very nice numbers. I think I counted 40 kids on the squad that were in uniform.

Yep he did have a great game and has some wheels. Im sure the Erlanger folks are pretty disappointed he isnt attending Lloyd.

Now who is getting their quotes incorrect. Where did I ever say that anyone intentionally ever does facemask. My comment was directed towards the fan. DUH!!!!!

Congratulations to the Tigers on their championship, good job! Birds, keep your heads up as you had a great season.

Easy guys. Let's focus on the game, not each other.

I agree Birdsfan. :thumb: Lets not get caught up in what emotional fans/parents are saying in the stands. The kids should be commended for a great year.

A foul can occur when a player grabs any opening of the helmet, the face mask or the back of the helmet.
