That post was in reference to current Frosh Donovan McCoy who clearly is better than all of the above mentioned as well.

 

 

My mistake, those are not current Freshman but each could be mentioned along with McCoy even as 8th graders.

No doubt those are very fine players indeed but frosh football is much different than NKYFL. If one of those players can mirror the same season that McCoy put together for the Birds then I will accept. Can any of those players do it? Maybe Scruggs or Harris but outside of that I would say lets wait and see.

Q- Agree McCoy had a special season and is talented; but in my opinion the incoming class combined with the two boys that played up last year as 8th graders, add the RD boys on the roster with Hayes, Hope, Green, Buten and this is squad could make many other posters asking when will this group graduate (sounds familiar)... If Franzen comes OH MY....

The 7th to be 8th grade class in the FTJFL will compliment this class quite well. It's going to be a fun 4 to 5 years around these parts. I am very glad to be part of it!!!!

Why stop there in 4 to 5 years? HHS is like the bunny. It just keeps going and going. Remember all your buddies and yourself that have had boys over the last few years. Now that's going to be fun.

Um, those are the blue collar Birds and one Blueboy with the one exception of the other Blueboy. TBirds you havent even scratched the surface. You got some Fennells coming, some Herfels and Fasslers. You get the picture. Life is good in Ft Thomas. And what the Heck, shoot the dog, you might even have another boy or two to add to the ballers. :thumb:20n10 FOG

Yes it will be fun. Don't want to wish the present away, but there are some toddlers out there with great football genes in them. :thumb:

I agree Mac is a good receiver/TE but have you ever watched him play QB. He has a strong arm, smart kid and is very mobil. If Mac wants to play QB trust me he can compete for the QB position. I wish him the best of luck wherever he decides to play!!!

 

The varsity QB job at Highlands probably won't be opening up until 2013.

Oh I'm with ya on that. I am all about the present. Go Birds!!!

It's going to be fun watching your family member this year. He had an outstanding season last year and I think will have an even better year this year. :thumb:

I'm talking freshmen ball next year, not varsity. Remember everyone is only one injury away from being replaced, competition is good.

I assumed that if he came because he wanted to play QB as a freshman that he would want to play it as a sophomore, Junior and Senior. Unless something happens to McCoy, Franzen if he is good enough may not get a shot until his senior year. And you are right about the injury thing certainly.

You took the words right out of my mouth and I'm glad you were the one writing it.

Hatton is only an an 8th grade kid who deserves to play any sport he desires at this age. I would hate for a kid to miss out on their high school days of attending school and having fun playing multiple sports just because everyone else thinks they might be the next Michael Jordan. As they begin to enter the Junior/Senior year, I see it then as a time to narrow down if you're receiving attention from major colleges. I always say the injury issue is in God's hands for any sport, which is also why grades should be the most important part of high school for these kids. My advice is to do what you like until you get an offer such as Tate Nichols and Tyler Grubbs who were both multiple sport players until receiving gracious college offers.JMO

I totally agree. Hatton is a well rounded in sports. I have witnessed him play football, basketball and baseball. I can honestly say I am not sure which sport he aspires above than the other. I think it would be a huge mistake for him to decide at such an early age.
