5th in the state of Ohio, Division 1. But hey hey ole Dale coached at Withrow......... and they have such a wonderful band to apease the people of Ft. Thomas! The cakes got lucky and beat a down St.Xaiver last year at home. Before that they were just bridesmaids to the Cincinnati schools of the world.

 

That down St. X team beat both Louisville powers and lost to a team that they had beaten during regular season in the playoffs. They also had 4 D1 recruits on defense. Your quickly losing credibility with these statements. The simple fact is that SK has been contacted about playing Highlands three times, and they want no part of playing Highlands.

That same "down" St. X team won the GCL last year, knocking off both Elder and Moeller. They also handled both of "our" Louisville powers that you speak of.

 

Again...NEXT! You may want to do a little research next time before making comments on here. X was far from down last year.

They lost in the second round of the playoffs. According to Coach Specht-a disappointing season.

The people that are saying SK will return to mediocracy after this year obviously have no clue about the program at SK...Their secondary will be one of the best around, with Webb, Pinkelton and Swanson...Their Defensive ends will be very solid with Stephens, Mills and Bowling...Swanson will be a good QB to go along with a very good young RB in Nate Powell...The pipeline is not dry, these are just the players that are already contributers for the most part... Heres to hoping Coach M gives the boys in Independence a chance to shutup the doubters and face the Birdies!

Coachspeak IMO, every coach is going to say that when they dont win the title and teams like X, Highlands, etc all expect to win the state title every year as they should.

Great! Meet the Bulldog at Buffalo Bob's tonight at 7 and push the coach!

I wish I could, can I get a sub lol...I'll be at the NKU Halloween Hoopla tonight so I can't make it...I've never been to a Highlands game but i'd sure love to go and see the Birds play my Neers...While in Ft.Thomas I could enjoy a pre game meal at one of the fine establishments and enjoy some of the genuine Blue Koolaid served out that way...

If you're playing Dayton, Bellevue, Newport, Bishop Brossart and Walton Verona outside of the district games, then yeah I guess you can say they'll be better than mediocre record wise.

 

It sure doesn't sound like they want to play anyone that will give them a game.

What do you know about the players SK will return next year to make such statements? Also SK will not be playing Dayton, Walton, BB, etc...They will play Scott in county rival, maybe NCC, probably a Lex 6A School and who knows who else...So dodging Highlands if SK does, means SK is going to dodge all teams that can beat them? I dont understand any of your posts!

Kind of like Simon Kenton has ALWAYS been with their ZERO state championships?

 

I am happy with Highlands being in the discussion with some of the big Cincinnati schools. Roughly 400 boys, not a magnet school, and a public school. Nationally ranked mulitiple times. Often being one of the smallest schools in the class they are playing in, second in the nation in all time wins, nations third longest winning streak, 19 state championships. What has Simon Kenton done?

I dont understand any of your posts!

 

What don't you understand? I've typed it in English.

 

Talent will be down from the last 2 yrs and SK will be back to mediocre.

You never bring any facts to the table, I know what they have coming back and they are not done...Will they be as good early in the year probably no they will struggle, but SK has the players returning to continue to win multiple games in the playoffs, which is quite a turn around from years past...You say talent will be down and of course it will, I believe from year to year every team loses talent, but since it's SK I guess they can't have new talent step up next year? Is that what your trying to say? I guess when Elliot graduates Ryle will never be good again, when Pike leaves Dixie they will never have another good QB, when Towles graduates Highlands will struggle next year, Right! Wrong that's never how it works Highlands reloads, Dixie may very well be better when Pike leaves who knows, maybe in a few years their will be another Travis Elliott for Ryle. Well next year it's a fact that SK will have a capable QB not Lawrence but a capable QB, they will have a better RB for sure and their Defense will be one of the better ones in the area, I know I follow the program. It just seems like SK gets put on a different platform then the other schools, the other schools reload, who's to say SK won't?

Does anyone know who Simon Kenton has on there schedule thus far for next year or who they may be trying to get on the schedule?

You make a good argument. SK may be in the early stages of building quite the dynasty, and none of us on here know. But, I am like many others on here, and I will believe it when I see it.

 

So, to prove the point that SK is on the way up, what better way to showcase that than by playing Highlands over the next two years?

 

Evidently, the Bulldog has called Highlands out for ducking SK, and I believe there have been numerous posters in this thread who claimed to have the connections to get Dale to the table to make the game a reality.

 

The only question remaining is if the Bulldog, or someone in the SK contingent can bring Coach Marksberry to the table.

 

Anyone?:confused:

As was pointed out to me this weekend: SK won't play Highlands but they sure like the plays we run. Does "Jester" in this article sound familiar to any of the HHS faithful?
