Can any SK fan text me updates. I'll be working.

I know directions are in the St.X/Ryle thread but I'm too darn lazy to search right now. I will be leaving NKY around 4pm so I should be in Jefferson Co around 5pm. What will be the best way to get to the stadium?

 

Take I-71 S to 264 west......get off Poplar Level Road (exit 14), turn right off of exit....can't miss the school from there...

How about this...

 

St. X and SK are two very good teams; in fact, they are two of the best teams in KY right now. Both teams have some very talented players. The winner of this game will be in a great position to win the 6A title this year. St. X's football program is steeped in tradition, while SK's football prowess is a relatively new phenomenon.

 

I think everyone can agree on these points, no?

 

I will agree on all points. From a St X person, this team on face value is not as talented as the last 2 years but at the end of the season, the run through NKY with Covington Catholic, Boone Co and Ryle just has the faithful looking at each other saying each week how well this team plays. They have been on a roll.

 

The losses that X has had, both this year and in the recent past, has happened when 2 things happen.

1)The defensive front eight outplay the O line of X

Cincy St X would of been successful had they scheduled just Ohio teams- teams they could of beaten- Miami, Ohio U, Kent State, Wittenberg, Mt St Joe, Akron, etc. They were the largest team to ever play against Lou St X and number 8 and 10 at DE's with their LBs shut down the running game and forced X to pass.

2) X makes mistakes they don't normally make.

How can a 300 pound lineman jump offsides 4 times against a 187 pound defensive end? How can a pass thrown into double coverage slip through one of the most surehanded DBs, How can a Mr Football candidate QB misfire on 3 quick stay passes?

Unfortunately for SK, this team is playing too well right now. Maybe they could come out in Trinity black jerseys but I see it 31-17 in favor of X.

It is 1.9 miles down from exit 14 on the right. Once you get to Audubon Hospital, start looking for parking. You might want to park in the hospital parking lot if you get there after 7:10. There is alot of parking at St X but something tells me, this may be a big crowd. The last 2 playoff games have not been very crowded. I parked in the main lot arriving at 7:15.

 

This is not my suggestion but other teams that have fans that arrive early and maybe those fans have adult beverages in coolers in their cars may find George Rogers clark park across from St X a good meeting spot to discuss the game. It has a pavillion. Of course those more civilized may find Chilis, J gumbos, qdoba, and panera bread more to your liking. If fast food is better for your schedule, DQ, Taco Bell, Wendys, and McD will be on poplar Level. Of course, if you go past St X you are into Germantown so every corner just about has a pub. Suggest you leave the SK jacket in the car!

 

If you get a chance, get there early and walk around the campus. The tennis and baseball complexes are one of the nicest in Ky along with the basketball arena. The press box and suites are nice and even have an elevator.

 

We look forward to seeing you.

Lawson and Barito return at LB just in time. Those two are trying to get their starting positions back, and Jr. John Allen is the most improved LB this season. He has come out of nowhere to be a major defensive factor for the Tigers. Last year's team was a team with a star (Duece), this year's team is a team of stars. I'll say it again this group has not gotten the respect they deserve, and tonight they will earn a little more with a decisive victory. Travel safe SK and welcome to St.X.

For those lucky enough to follow St. X and Louisville football for 45-50 years, tonight's game at St. X is noteworthy. Take a moment and appreciate the facilities that St. X. now has. Everyone loved the tradition of Manual Stadium, pre and post game "discussions" at Check's, but it sure is great to have a real home field tonight! X fans are respectful of Simon Kenton and really appreciate the opportunity to host a playoff game of such magnitude. The weather will be great today, so everyone come out and enjoy this game.

Thanks to all the coaches and players for putting in so much time and effort. Often times we as fans do not say this enough. It's Game Day - Enjoy!!

Nice post!

 

There really are some humble private school followers out there.:thumb:

SK has about as much of a chance of beating St. X in Louisvile tonight as the Bengals did of beating the Steelers in Pittsburgh last week.

I totally agree with you. I think this St.X TEAM is better than last year's in almost every area. They are quicker, deeper, more explosive, have a better kicking game, throw it better and have a stable of good backs not just one. Two good QB's! They have 3 more games hopefully to prove themselves, one game at a time.Go Tigers!

SK by 1! 29-28... Go Pioneers!!!:dancingpa
