  1. Do you doubt that Isaiah Johnson and Austin Alexander are D1 pass catchers???? If you do, then we haven’t watched the same 2 kids.
  2. Its The Pub, not Ft Thomas Coffee. Flying in Wagyu beef from Japan to air-fry after the game to celebrate. Also, heard a rumor that they may have Pappy Van Winkle Bourbon slushees as well!
  3. This is honestly one game where nothing would surprise me. Can Cooper stop the Birds run game? Will Highlands realize that Cooper has some D1 WR's that need to be doubled and not left on an island like they did the first game? I'll take the Birds 40-25. Their run game is just a freight train right now. Can it be rainy and windy Friday night?
  4. Just drove by the Cecil, appeared to be practicing "running the clock". 🤷‍♂️ Go Birds!!!
  5. Nice write up! My .02 and I'll use your rankings... Newport: SOOOOO much talent, so many shotmakers, should be the clear favorites BUT....only one ball. If Snapp can keep everyone on the same page, they are the clear favorite. If not, who knows. It will be fun to watch. I can't remember this much next level talent on one team and this high of a prospect in NKY (Kinney), in awhile. I hope he plays 4 years in Newport. I'll check them out in person whenever I can. CovCath: How will all of the transfers mesh? Lots of new talent in Park Hills. This could be a case of you better get them early. Once all present, football players, and get a few weeks under their belt, they could challenge Newport and be scary. Being a Highlands guy, I am obligated to hate everything CC but you can't deny the track record. They will be there at the end. Cooper: One thing we can't deny, they will guard and play hard. Is there enough around Rondon to challenge the top teams? How healthy is Pouncy. Love watching Coach Sullivan and how hard this team plays! Fun to watch, not fun to play against. Lloyd: If EJ Walker plays with a motor, this team will compete. Is there enough around him? I've seen him take over games and disappear in others. Not sold on them as a threat in the 9th. Right now, I'd swap them and Highlands at 4/5. Highlands: They will play fast. They will shoot a ton of 3's. Nathan Vinson is a problem. But...will they guard? I like their starting 5, but do they have the depth? Lots of talent in the sophomore and freshman class but I don't know how ready they are to contribute against the top teams. Mark my words, the Birds will upset some of the "better teams" on their loaded schedule, but are a danger to lose to "lesser teams" if shots aren't falling. I honestly think there is a drop off after these 5. If I was going by tiers... Tier 1: Newport and CovCath Gap..... Tier 2: Cooper, Highlands, Lloyd Bigger Gap......... Tier 3: St. Henry, Ryle, NewCath, Holy Cross Everyone else........ Will be a fun year and I can't wait to hit some gyms!
  6. Well, I ain't gonna talk smack if they lose!!!!
  7. Fort Thomas on line one to ask if you will hold their beer....
  8. Excuses are a sign of weakness, take the L, move on and improve.
  9. People from Park Hills and Fort Thomas waste ZERO chance to argue about who is better, why they are better, why their team either won or lost last time, and how good their teams were during the 80's/90's and early 2000's. Doesn't matter the sport, the venue, the circumstances, etc... They just don't like each other much and it makes high school sports great! Go Birds, beat Colonels, in anything from freshman football to the floor exercise in gymnastics!
  10. Junior Hank Shick will probably round out the starting lineup with 4 mentioned above. If Hicks plays I can see him coming off the bench. Anticipate any of 4 sophomores; outside of Vinny, Nathan Rickard, Owen Ebert, Finn Bouldin, and Charlie Messmer, to get varsity minutes. All are extremely talented and are basketball only kids.
  11. I 100% agree but I will not be the one to tell people what they should do. I hope he changes his mind and have heard he isn’t 100% against playing. Hopefully after the football season he decides he wants to have one last ride with the hoops squad!
  12. It's not... Geisler didn't finish the season last year. Class's minutes decreased tremendously as the year went on, the sophomore class has more than enough talent to make up for this. Benke is a big loss. His size and ability to rebound and finish will be missed. But, the young man's future is in college is in football and I can understand making sure you have yourself in the best position for this moving forward.
