Campbell County beats Turkeyfoot 24-0 today. Any other scores?

I think we now know why you are so upset at Cov Cath. The spartans have lost a lot of their players. Are they only losing players to Cov Cath?

 

Again, read the post that talks aboutr class sizes. There is no way that any of the feeder schools has enough boys on their own. So, rather than calling them a Cov Cath team, if they called them Blessed Sacrament, or one of the feeder schools, you would have no problem??

 

 

Maybe they should be called Diocesan Diaper Dandies:D

Many schools in the Commonwealth combine elementary schools to make a middle school football program - both public and private. The object is to permit students the opportunity to play football and learn about the game, as well as the inherent values of working as a team. The football programs that I know all are under the direction of an appropriate school system.

I think what futurecoach is trying to say is that these catholic middle schools should be allowed to field teams, and that it's OK that multiple schools create a team. His problem is that these teams should not be named CovCath. Woodland is Woodland, not Scott. Turkeyfoot is Turkeyfoot, not Dixie. The teams should be affiliated with their middle school that they currently attend, not the high school that they might attend.

 

It would be tough to find enough jersey space to fit St. Agnes / Blessed Sacrament / St. Pius / St. Joe.

 

Seriously though, these are the diocesan middle schools. All Diocese of Covington Schools operate under the same board of education so these are truly Covington Catholic's middle schools. Just as St. Therese, St. Thomas, Holy Trinity, St. Catherine and St. Joe are the middle schools for NCC and St. Mary, St. Phillip, Sts. Peter and Paul and the two St. Joes (Camp & Cold Spring) are the middle schools for Brossart.

I believe the Brossart team is actually called the Colts (not the Mustangs) They do wear the Brossart logo and colors however.

Ditto...exactly what I wanted to add. These kids ARE by definition of KHSAA, CovCath middle schoolers.

1. Campbell County 2-0

1. C C H #1 2-0

2. Woodland 1-1

2. Summit View 1-1

3. Holmes 0-2

Who looks good this year? Is the Large/Small School new for this year?

This is the first year for the split divisions. I think it is a very good thing. There will be two seperate championship games on 10/17.

 

In the big school division, Campbell County and Cov Cath have won their first two games by large margins. The Camels have beat Summit View 28-0 and Turkeyfoot 24-0. Cov Cath has beat Holmes 33-0 and Woodland 39-8.

 

In the small school division, I would think it is going to be tough for anyone to knock off NCC. They won the championship last year before there were split divisions.

Thanks, my neighbors boy plays for Summit View, he says they are struggling this year with low numbers. What are the numbers for the other teams?

On the roster sheet that I saw, Campbell County had 68 boys listed. I think the success of the CCYFL is showing an impact at the middle school level.

 

Turkeyfoot looked to have good numbers also.

 

Others that I saw:

 

Brossart - around 35 or so

Pendleton - around 20

I thought Twenhofel won the championship last year...

You all don't seem to be getting what I am saying. I have no problem with these schools deciding to have Middle School teams. I mean it is a very smart thing for them to do. The players get to get to learn their system at an earlier age, and there is just a lot of benefits of playing Middle School football. So if a school is going to be aloud to have a Middle School team even when they don't have an actual Middle School. Then they should do it because it is a smart thing to do, because in the end it will help get kids in the system and help keep them there for high school.

 

My whole thing is that I don't think a school SHOULD BE A LOUD though to have a Middle School team. I mean the first thing about schools is academics correct? Then that kid represents that school on the football field. Well those kids who play for like CovCath are not Covington Catholic Colonels. They are St. Agnes, and all the other schools. A school should not be able IMO to have kids who are not even in their school system to be able to represent them, because it is recruiting. Its letting them represent them even when they are not in that school. Which will in turn help them out when they get to high school. If a CovCath, etc. feel the need that they should have a Middle School team, then they should build an actual Catholic Middle School for those kids to attend. Until then the kids at the Catholic schools could just go play for a youth football team. Its not like they don't have options of where to play football if a CovCath doesn't have a Middle School team. I mean for most of the kids that do play for CovCath Middle School. I believe most are in the right area where they can play for the Spartans youth football team, and the Spartans are a great program and they will learn how to be good football players. So either Catholic schools should be forced to just build a Catholic Middle School then, or just not have a Middle School team. Those players would have other teams they could play for, so its not like they would be having to give up football.

 

Its really not that complicated IMO. I am all for Middle School football because it is a good thing. However you should have to have a Middle School, if your going to have a Middle School team. The schools who decide to have Middle School teams who don't have Middle Schools only do it for their benefit and their benefit only. Its not like when they come up with the idea they say we need to do this because these kids need places to play. They do it so the kids learn their system at an earlier age, and better chance that kid stays with the program after they are already in it. Its for their benefit only, and is basically like a recruiting tool. So IMO it just shouldn't be allowed. If you want a Middle School team, then just build a Middle School. So kids who are actually at your school for academics, would be the ones who are playing.

 

Futurecoach, I'm not trying to start an argument...I just want to point out a few things that I think from reading your posts, you may not know about the Catholic School Systems.

 

Catholic high schools in the Diocese of Covington have districted grade schools feeding them, laid out by the diocese, just as the Kenton County public high schools have districted middle schools feeding them.

 

Cov Cath's district draws from St. Agnes, Blessed Sacrament, St. Joseph Crescent Springs, St. Pius X, and Prince of Peace grade schools. For all intents and purposes...these are "Cov Cath's middle schools".

 

Now, just to pick and example, Simon Kenton's district draws from the Independence area, and includes Twenhofel and Summit View middle schools, both of which have middle school football teams...these are "Simon Kenton's middle schools".

 

I'm not sure if it's quite the point you were trying to make, but neither of these high schools - Cov Cath nor Simon Kenton - have a middle school that is "their own". There is no Simon Kenton Middle School, and there is no Covington Catholic Middle School. However, both of these schools are drawing their students (and their football players) from the grade schools laid out in their districts.

 

Now, I will admit, there are a few players on the Cov Cath middle school teams that are not strictly from this district, but I stress this...it's just a few players, and the in-district players are given preference during sign-ups. Both years Cov Cath has had their middle school teams, they have had to cut off sign-ups, and they have had to effectively not allow some of the out-of-district players who wanted to play to be on the team. And besides, when you come down to it, there are just as many "out of district" players who go to schools like Beechwood, Highlands, and Dixie in the end.

 

My point is, Cov Cath has "middle schools" (as does Holy Cross, if I might add that). You just have to allow yourself to see that their "middle schools" are the various Catholic grade schools that they have had assigned to their high school.
