Why would Ryle take over #1? They beat a banged up Birds team by 2 on senior night at their home field.

 

The way I see it, these two split, so there should be a 1A and 1B.

 

Seems like you answered your own question with the bolded.

Great job by both teams! Good win Ryle! nOw lets go get number 20 boys!!!

What poll would that be?

 

The one that decides the mythical Northern Kentucky Championship.

Sounds like Hempel stepped up and had a big game against the Bluebirds. His play in my opinion is what got them the W against SK as well. Elliot had a very similar game tonight that he did against SK, Hempel doesn't get the same notoriety as Elliot but he does ALOT of Ryle. Hempel with 120 yards rushing 3 TD's and 70 yards passing. Elliot held to just under 100 yards with 1 TD.

 

Congrats to the Raiders, they're certainly a tough team at home. AS for the Birds you guys can still bring home another state title let's just hope a loss right before the start of the playoffs doesn't bring down their momentum.

Ryle was the Hammer tonight and Highlands was the nail, its as simple as that. Ryle wanted this game bad and you could see it clearly.

Highlands beat Ryle by 2 td's at Highlands...again, why would Ryle take over #1?

 

Both teams are on the same level as far as I see it.

It had been noted in previous threads that Highlands, for whatever reasons, didn't seem to be clicking over the past few weeks. Hopefully for them, this will be the wake-up call that gets them in gear for their playoff run.

But first they will need to lick their wounds and get healed up.

Congrats to Ryle on a huge win. They will be #1 in the polls.

I agree, doesn't matter who's field it was on, doesn't matter who won way back in the second game of the year! Ryle will, and deserves to be, #1 in the NKY polls!

Im afraid you may be right. Highlands will see that kind of a powerful running game when they visit Johnson Central in week 3 of the playoffs, if they advance that far.

You guys can't be serious, Highlands stayed #1 when they beat Ryle, they should now lose #1 spot because they lost to Ryle. Highlands was better earlier in the season, it appears as though Ryle is the better team at this point in the season. Unless you have a QB or RB that's a game changer out of the lineup then it's highly unlikely that any one voting in the polls is going to take in to account how banged up your team is. All they'll be looking at is that it was a loss.

Congratulations to Ryle. Over the past two years Ryle has really made a commitment to take the next step, agreeing to play Highlands four times in two years. It seems that their commitment paid dividends tonight as the accomplished something no KY team has done since 2006... beat Highlands.

 

It sounded like HHS stepped up and played tough in the fourth quarter, but came up just a bit too short. Work hard and stay focused on the goal of winning the 5A state title. Go 'Birds!

 

Man, I knew it would end sometime, but it's hard to believe HHS is no longer tops in NKY. For all the HHS players and coaches who were part of HHS' amazing run of wins, with only one out-of-state loss since 2006, well done... it was a heck of a ride!!!

I understand your point, but you know that Ryle is going to be voted # 1

Indeed...not a Highlands die hard, but not having Quillen and Sullivan at the LB positions definetly hurt the Birds tonight.

 

Hopefully both will be back by the 2nd week of the playoffs.

Quillen is done for the year and Sullivan I am not sure about.
