It sure would've been nice to see him remain in the red. :irked:

 

Is this kid who was at Dixie but switched? Does he have a brother that's pretty good as well?

Why waste that talent over in Edgewood?? Spritzky would probably have him playing offensive tackle or something..:lol::lol:

Wow. You guys are a sensitive bunch. I simply point out a common error in fans' thinking and I get nailed for it. Strong effort on your part. When you and others now refrain from showing your backside by yelling "uncatchable" you'll thank me, right?

 

:laugh::laugh::laugh:There you go again....We get it already!!!

Yep..twins..

How many yards did Elliot have??? It couldn't of been a whole lot..

 

I heard somewhere around 50-60 yards. Another nice job by the Birds defense.

I thought Ryle looked very impressive. If they had not made the turnovers, they might have pulled off the upset. They came out of halftime fired up and took it right down for a score. They were moving the ball very well. In my opinion, this was the toughest test the Birds have faced, other than St. X.

 

I agree! :lol: Honestly, I'm not sure Ryle can beat HHS right now. It would take a perfect game from them and a far less than perfect game from HHS and rarely do the high school football gods allow this to happen. But it's clear that Ryle deserves to be on the field with HHS and will make HHS earn everything they get.

 

I thought the critical point of the game was the second quarter TD pass score by HHS. They caught Ryle in a CB blitz and the safety didn't roll over due to some miscommunication on Ryle's part. It happens. And, of course, HHS just happened to have the perfect played called. To go from a 0-0 slugfest to being down 14-0 within about two minutes time was huge.

I don't think I said it was uncatchable. The right call was made.....I think

Elliott who rushed for 124 yards when Highlands beat Ryle in the second week of the season, carried 18 times for 62 yards on Friday.

Hempel had a nice night rushing. And Lonkard had a nice run for Ryle. I would guess Ryle still had about 140 yards rushing or so. The wind (and HHS' pass rush) really hurt Ryle's ability to pass.

I think with a healthy Collinsworth and Bardo this might of been a little more lopsided..JMO..:idunno:

Did either play?

For those that weren't there this was actually a pretty good football game. Pretty even for the first 20 minutes of playing time after which Ryle had a couple of mental breakdowns that resulted in 10 points just before half while HHS had the bid wind advantage.

 

The first breakdown was late in the 2nd quarter when the HHS wide right receiver was left completely uncovered on a third and long and caught an uncontested 50 yard TD pass. I don't know what the meltdown was, but it was an easy 7 for the Bluebirds. The next breakdown was the Elliot hit on the sidelines. It is debatable whether this would have been a flagged hit if it had occurred on the Ryle sideline, but since it was the Highlands QB, and since he was pretty much running out of bounds on his own, the hit right on the edge of the sideline it was considered a PF and a proper call. This gave HHS a first down on a thrid and very long and put them down to about the 40 with 20 sec. to play in the 1st half. They caught one more pass for about 10 yards and went out of bounds at the 30 setting up the nice long FG as the half ended. If Elliot had not made that hit, however close it was, halftime would have been 14-0.

 

Ryle came out fresh in the 2nd half and completed a nice long drive into the wind making it 17-7. HHS answered right back with a drive of their own, and then Ryle scored again, and then HHS again. And that's about it. Never any doubt who would win unless some key turnovers were to occur in Ryle's favor (which didn't happen.)

 

The big difference in this game was the Highlands defensive line. They were able to put pressure on Hemple and shut down Elliot to a great extent. Once Ryle's Hemple started to run some keepers, things started to loosen up a bit, but it seemed the passing game was a bit off - maybe due to the high winds.

Did either play?

 

Collinsworth didn't and Bardo played a little bit with a heavily bandaged left arm.

Is this kid who was at Dixie but switched? Does he have a brother that's pretty good as well?

 

Yep. His brother played some d-end late in the Dixie game.

The kid would be starting on both sides of the ball, along with special teams (at least I'd like to believe that ). Dixie has struggled in the defensive backfield, and has played numerous underclassmen. He would be a huge boost to their defense. And I'd assume he's got pretty good hands, so he would've been a great asset on offense, especially with his size.

I agree! :lol: Honestly, I'm not sure Ryle can beat HHS right now. It would take a perfect game from them and a far less than perfect game from HHS and rarely do the high school football gods allow this to happen.

All this with Austin Collinsworth standing on the sideline. Lets be honest here, this is another 14 point win with him in the game. I am not taking anything away from Ryle. They played one heck of a game and fought as hard as I thought they could. Come back on Sat and get ready for your 1st round playoff. Hopefully Ryle's experience playing Highlands was as beneficial as Highlands playing Ryle was.:thumb:
