I now rank the KHSAA right up there with the NCAA. Shouldn't the results of the state playoff games last year have been a clue? What ya do about it if you’re the commissioner of the KHSAA.

1. Grab a dart.

1. Put on blindfolds.

2. Throw it.

Result: Wherever it lands will be far better than the current system.

 

All kidding aside, there has to be a better way. When your starters play only 2 quarters in 3 out of 4 district games, that's just not right. I don't care what team you are, or who you're playing, there has to be a better way. I know the burden is on these other teams to improve their programs, but in the mean time, there must be something better.

How many passing TD's does Towles have on the season? It looks like he threw 7 last night.

 

Who is the new kicker? Brockett? Soccer player?

I think 25 or 26 TD passes for PT, with just 1 INT. I think PT is also right around 2000 yards in 7 games.

 

Brockett is not a soccer player and is the JV kicker. Regular kicker Carter New played DB but sat out for the 2nd straight game as the kicker.

I would think the KHSAA could go back to 4 classes (5 at the most) but expand the playoffs by giving the top 2 seeds in each district a bye.

Ideas on an alternative?

Personally, I'd love to see a super conference, although I know it will never happen.

 

I like the idea floated on another thread about allowing teams to move up & down in class based on their records. I know that rewards teams for poor performance, and potentially penalizes other teams for good performance, but it would be a start towards ending obvious mistakes that lead to games like those HHS & CCH have played recently. Give the top & bottom whatever % of teams in each class the choice to move up or down at the end of each season (isn't this how Euro soccer works, except that it's not a choice?). I know scheduling would be a problem though.

Even with a running clock was there really only 4 possessions (2 each) in the second half?

Yes, HHS elected to kick off the second half. PC moved ball and turned it over on downs once and fumbled the ball the second time.

While the outcome was not exactly a surprise in this one...I have to give props to those kids at PC. They kept lining up and doing it all over again! I did not know any of the players for PC going in, however at the final horn...Pyles (sp?) I believe it was...kids name was called on just about every single play.

 

I overheard one of the PC players after the game talking to friends saying..."Well we got murdered again, there is next week." Great attitude young man, hang in there!

Ideas on an alternative?

 

There is no alternative. Fort Thomas is one of only a handful of communities in the commonwealth that have the conditions that allow for a winning tradition in football. The competitive nature of parents within the community fuels the program and has made it the powerhouse that it is today. Kids from the county have other competing interests as well as geographic constraints that prevent them from ever being competitive. The KHSAA cannot wave a magic wand and change these concrete differences. It's the same for the private school dilemma in 6a. Just deal with it.

Crazy stats especially when you consider it is in 18 quarters.
