I'm not surprised Holmes lost, but the score is a little surprising.

^ I agree, Withrow is apparently talented but I thought this would be a tighter game.

Special teams killed Holmes.

Why doesn't Holmes put some money into their field. It is awful..My son played there about 3 weeks ago and when you have kids running on the field you can't see them do to the dust bowl. It's a shame those Holmes kids have to play on that garbage..

The problem with the field is Holmes lets Holy cross use it and all the pee wee football teams play on it.

I was told there was nifty kickoff return by Withrow with some trickery that led to a quick score and then Holmes fumbled the kickoff, and Withrow scored quickly to bump the game up to three scores in a matter of seconds.

 

Holmes has been without 3 key starters the last two weeks and that has cut down on some of their explosiveness on offense and has hurt their defense as well.

 

From what I was told they have cut back on transplanting bermuda in the middle of the field, due to cost. Then they had a caretaking problem that led to the middle of the field just dying out. There was not much grass in the middle of the field to start with at the beginning of the season. Add a drought along with Holy Cross using the field for free, I believe, and peewee games and you are looking at a goat ranch.

 

Still what Coach Lickert has been able to do at Holmes has been impressive.

After starting the season like 0-4 or something, Withrow has been winning quite a few games... I think they may even be above .500 now.

Withrow is a very good team that would easily be top 3 in nky.

 

They played Highlands tight and likely would give both SK and Ryle a game as well.

 

The Farley kid is one heck of a running back and as mentioned earlier, Holmes was without 3 key starters. Dogs will be fine when the playoffs get here.

Will they (3) be back for the Harrison Co. game?

Yes all 3 will be back next game.

Withrow is 5-4 with a very tough schedule.

I agree. Holmes is barely a top 10 N. KY team. Not a real threat to win 4A.
