If they do, STAW AWAY from the Hotel USA across the interstate from the school, thank me later. :sssh::thumb:

 

I also agree with that!

When was the last time there was a running clock in a state semifinal game?

You think it'll get that bad?

I don't mean this in a bad or condescending way, but Beechwood is on a whole different level than anything Crittenden County has seen in recent years. Plus, the travel factor doesn't help matters.

I heard there is a possibility that the game may be moved to Saturday to accommodate the long trip CC has to make, and so that the kids do not have to miss school Friday. Has anyone else heard anything regarding this?

I was told by someone involved in Crittenden County's program that the Rockets intend to play on Friday night. Edited November 30, 2008 by westsider

I am surprised that they want to play on a Friday night given all of the travel time.

 

We will see the Rockets on Friday then!

I don't think we have much of a chance to win BUT I don't think you can get this far on accident and I'm sure had Mayfield won, no one would even suggest that a running clock as a possibility. Both teams like to grind it out and I think that will slow down the scoring and prevent any running clock, or at least I hope. I know that BW is on another level, but they play the game for a reason and I don't think the Rockets are gonna lay down and roll out the red carpet for Beechwood either. We are so far west that half those kids probably have never seen Beechwood and some couldn't even tell you where it is on a map, so I don't think the mystique of them would put the Rockets in Awe as much as Mayfield used to.

I think there is a whole lotta people who won't be able to find Beechwood on a map. :lol:

It's not a knock against Crittenden. I'm sure they won't quit and will play hard to the last whistle. It reminds me of Lone Oak going against Lexington Catholic in the 4A finals last year. Lone Oak was a pretty good team too, but we know how that one ended up.

Beechwood 35-24.

As long as they are on Northbound 75 they'll be fine. Only one Ft. Mitchell exit though so dont blink!

 

Any CC fans who want advice on where to eat/stay, please feel free to pm me.

 

There is parking at the school and on Beechwood Rd.

 

If those two places are full, a lot of people park at the local Krogers parking lot. There is an easy back entrance to the field from there. Just try not to take spaces that Kroger customers might like best! The people of Krogers try to be generous with us, but the spaces closest to the store they like for paying customers. There are a lot of spaces behind the store right by the gate.

 

Which makes one wonder.....who shops for groceries on Friday football nights in Ft. Mitchell??
