6A: Trinity Shamrocks (13-1) vs. Simon Kenton Pioneers (10-4) Predictions

[day tripper]

I would agree with this. But in a one game shootout, Simpson is on the field for every down. Like Alexander in the past, Simpson will be put in a position that allows him to get his hands on the ball in so many different ways. This makes it difficult to shut Simpson down.

 

With all due respect, I wouldn't exactly call the offensive strategy used by Boone County in '94 innovative. Both teams (BC-SK) run/ran the ball effectively, but SK has a completely different philosophy on how to do it. JMO

Possibly this game will be a shoot out. The Rocks have been known to give up some yards this year but I think mainly through the air. It sounds like SK is the real deal.

My comment was not about running the ball, but having Simpson on the field for every down, just like Alexander did. Simpson will play every play of O, D, SPT, heck, he'll be on the field with the Band and may help take tickets. That strategy worked for Boone and Alexander (well, I don't think Alexander took tickets)

Gotta go with Trinity on this one. I think that they're just too tough.

 

Later.

Trinity by 7.... 7 TD's.

I'd say Trinity 42-14 sounds about right for a match-up against an NKY 6A squad. I hope for a better game than that, but that is where my opinion is on the matter at this point.

 

 

Um, Dixie?

[SHAMROCK69]

I'm looking forward to Mr. Simpson meeting Mr. Whiting.

 

Mr. Messina and Mr. McCauley may also stop by and introduce themselves.

[Cameraman]

Um, Dixie?

 

I'm assuming he means in the state finals against a Louisville Catholic School.

And please, are posters really comparing Simpson to Shaun?

Sure sounds like it.

Sure sounds like it.

 

Simpson is a solid high school running back. He is not as good as Alexander was, but I think the SK offense is a bit more diverse than the early to mid 90s Boone teams.

 

Trinity will key on Simpson, so the SK qb and wrs will have to make plays. Even more importantly, the o-line and d-line for SK will have to play the game of their lives. The Pioneers are (and sould be) a heavy underdog in this one (Trinity beat Cincy X for Pete's sake). But all of NKY will be pulling for them.

 

But if I had to make a prediction, 38 - 14 Trinity sounds about right.

[sackmaster]

Trinity. But it would be nice to see SK win this game to have a miracle ending.

[DRKARK]

SK is going for another upset.

SK wins 21-14

A lb who ran the ball, not fair. See if you are still saying that when you are watching him start fullback next year for The Naval Academy. Simpson to Shaun draws good a good comparison, however Simpson is tougher than Shaun was in High School. He sometimes prefers contact vs. Shaun utilized the sideline.

 

 

What is not fair about it? He was a straight ahead runner, a power back.

He was a better lb than rb, and was long before he was in high school. I know what is going on in Annapolis and it is awesome and speaks volumes about the man he is.

This kind of talk is the main reason we so badly want to bring a 6A title back north.
