Im just wondering how many D1 players does Highlands have this year...It seems only Highlands and Ryle fans are posting on this board to why Sk is overrated and will never be any good. Could that be because SK is Ryles biggest competition in NKY 6a and because SK is building a reputable program in 6A and Highlands fans hate the thought that SK could start getting the transfers and players from other areas that they are accustomed to getting because players want to play in the toughtest class in the state and not 5A which is relatively a week class other than Highlands out of district schedule which is usually tough, once they get to the playoffs its a cake walk, if SK was in 5A the last two years they would have two state championships realistically...

Speaking of using spell check, this is a run-on sentence....Take a breath, use a period, or something.

I guess when you've got nothing else to hang your hat on, you can fool yourself into believing this stuff.

Another thread hijacked by HHS.

 

And just who brought HHS into the conversation?

A HHS fan that is why I posted it!

 

HHS fans where posting on this thread putting down SK when no one even mentioned the Bluebirds, until Raiderbird.

Wrong. Go over the thread again and check who brought HHS into the conversation.

 

The thread is about SK so why wouldn't HHS fans post about them, good or bad? That was the question OF the thread! Are they dead in the water. Some HHS fans said yes, some defended them and pointed out that SK had just won the game.

Who cares about Highlands they would rather play Ryle twice than play SK!

Need the better competition.

I did breath boss man that's why there is no need for a period :D In roughly eight months I'll be graduating from NKU with a degree in Sports Business, How did I ever pass all those college level english courses? Try this, Contribute something positive to thread that actually pertains to the topic being discussed!

It's yet to be determined. I would bet that Towles goes d1, beyond that I don't know for sure. SK is not nearly on the levels that want to play at that school. You are acting like a team that has NEVER won a state championship (SK), is close to the same level as a team with 19(Highlands).

 

What makes you realistically think that Simon Kenton would have won state championships the last 2 years in 5a REALISTICALLY?!!! hahaha seriously a team that is ranked #3 in the country or at least the top 10 by most polls would not lose to a program as weak as Simon Kenton. Do you really think SK was better than Cincinnati St. X? Nothing realistic, you are using wishful thinking just like uk#1fan.

 

SK can be good and they are pretty good. But, you made claims that in 4 years they will be a 6a contender which makes me laugh at you because the Louisville teams are so far ahead of anyone else in 6a.

Do you breath or breathe when you go to No Knowledge University? I am Kidding, but that was the longest run-on sentence I have ever seen.

Lets say SK played the same teams as HHS in the playoffs. Last year SK beat Butler, Manual(they barely lost to HHS and X) and then almost squeaked past X in the semis. On the other hand HHS beat Montgomery Co(they lost to Lloyd who has been down), Dixie(SK handled them easy as did HHS), Johnson Central(they gave up 42 to Scott which is sad, SK shut them out HHS gave up 20 to them), Pulaski Co(benefit from a weak district) and the championship vs John Hardin a good team but I believe SK would beat them based on watching SK and X. Comparing scores is meaningless that's not my sole purpose in this argument, although it is interesting. My point is the playoff opponents in 6A are much tougher than 5A...Lets say you replace Pulaski Co with X in the semis does HHS still make the finals, maybe but its not as easy a road. If you have either X, T, Manual or Male in your way every year in the semis as we see in 6A its definitely harder to get that ring.

But you left out that SK would have to beat Highlands a nationally ranked top 10 team to win it. The other thing is that Simon Kenton is in 6a for a reason... Enrollment. Who is to say that they would be as good as they were with a lower enrollment. A lower enrollment can only make you worse, not better.

If SK was 5A they would still be the same team, the players that live in Kenton County and want to play for the Neers would still go there to play. I don't see a big difference in enrollment numbers affecting the product put on the gridiron as far as 5A to 6A goes because not long ago all the teams more than likely would have been in 4A together anyways. Lower Enrollments do have an affect on programs but with open enrollment your going to go where you want to anyways if you have a preference and that's how Kenton Co is set up. Also as far as Highlands goes they have an advantage that few High School teams have and that's regardless of how low there enrollment is there still going to be very good and they will be playing even weaker competition come playoff time. Lets say Highlands is even Lower than 5A there's no difference as far as the strength of their team because they get players from other teams in NKY, regions all across the state and players from all across the country to play for them as well as the players that grew up in Fort Thomas. The difference is HHS would have this melting pot of players from everywhere who are going there because of their rich tradition(which nobody can deny even SK fan or whatever his name is) only there now playing against lower enrollment school who can only choose from the players that live in their district and don't get transfers. You Birdies have an advantage that few teams have and that is you will be a consistent powerhouse with few down years. I'm not arguing HHS power, I'm just justifying a team that's on the rise and I believe that's my Neers. I've enjoyed this topic, I hope the Bluebirds bring another Championship back to NKY!!!
