I hear you about the young kids. It's a football stadium, not a blooming playground. If parents aren't going to control their kids at the game, hire a baby sitter and leave them at home.

 

PS: we made our sons sit next to us in the bleachers when they were young. They didn't like it, but being a parent is not a popularity test.

*sigh* If only more parents thought the way you do. :thumb:

I can't really give an honest opinion as I haven't seen SK play, but I can assure you that they had better bring their "A" game when they face Ryle. The Ryle team I watched Friday night is a very good football team.

I would like to query HHS players/staff/parents on the type of football shoes they are wearing on their home turf. We are losing a lot of ACLs to that turf (Senvisky last year -- but what a recovery!) but I suspect the age of the turf and the type is contributing to the frequent knee injuries sustained there. I believe Ryle players use the same cleats on all surfaces including last night, but that might be a mistake. This surface beckons back to Astroturf 1977 which was the type of surface that gave artificial turf a bad name. Back in the 'olden' days D1 coaches insisted on the use of more-or-less flat-bottomed shoes on these surfaces and regular cleats on grass. New turf allows use of cleats without the same 'twist risk', but I'm not sure the school trainers are up on these subtleties, or at least certainly there are no guidelines in place. Maybe there should be?

 

What are the Bluebird kids wearing? And should 'regular' football spikes be allowed on this surface due to the high tack and so little slip (especially when its not raining?)

 

I think if I am the coach I am looking into this unless I have a contract with Commonwealth Orthopedics.

When I played I wore screw in cleats on all surfaces. Metal tips on grass and plastic tips on the turf.

Lots of whinning and cryin on here about Highlands facilities. It all started last night with Ryle coach demanding that he have full access to his sideline without any fan interference, threatening a police officer over it, threatening to call Julian Tackett over and threatening not to play the game unless he got his way. Then we have people on here complaining about the safety of the facilities. A few words of advice. Dont schedule Highlands if you dont like the facilities, dont stand in the last row on the bench and dont complain about injuries because they are part of the game. And dont threaten a police officer for gods sake. Are you kiddin me. Its not like Ryle has never played in Ft Thomas and to come in there and start your nite off like that, well, your in for a long nite. One word for anyone who thinks they are going to change that facility. GRANDFATHERED. Go Birds 20n10

It's the same field turf that the Detriot Lions field has. Put in at the same time. Different from other field turfs in the area.

One field turf host never loses, the other never wins.

I agree totally.

 

The sideline issue is a joke. The pressbox is a joke. The field is a joke (compared to newer Artificial surfaces). I hear many Highlands faithful complaining as well, about one ticket booth and kids flying all around the playing area. A head football coach has every right to question the facility to a higher authority when there is a question of safety. Ryle's head coach may have used a particular tone which you felt threatening but the refs complied to his requests. Ryle received a sideline warning largely because there is no room on the sideline. I know thats the way you guys like it, make the opposing team uncomfortable...its time to class up the place. Great atmosphere though...lol.

I agree totally.

You heard ONE.

 

And Warner has been to Highlands and delt with the sideline before. Nothing new. He didn't walk into the unexpected. Ryle isn't Cincy St. X and I didn't hear them complaining. That game had more people , national TV equipment , and tons of fans that were not for Highlands or ST. X.

The sideline is what it is, the press box is a piece, but the field is awesome. There are a lot of place where I played where teams put in the cheap version of the field turf. Ex. Town and Country soccer complex, Morehead, etc. I know there are Highlands people that do not like the turf but a lot of them have not played on the turf. The first upgrade needs to be in the weightroom.

I agree totally.

Where do you suggest we build this new stadium. We don't have another pasture to move our cow's!

That last response was classic.......BTW, was it not just about 6 years ago that HHS's field was considered state of the art in playing surfaces? It surely did not go downhill that fast.....Even Ryle's county funded field won't be considered new in about 3 years. Geesh, get over it folks. HHS would have won that game in a cow pasture, so don't make excuses Ryle fans.
