NCCBreds

Look for this group of young men to make an impact in summer league this year. Composed of graduates and few seniors from BBHS, NCC, and CCHS, this team is extremely experienced and great competitors. Currently they are in Charlestown, SC for a tournament with a scrimmage game against East Cobb Thursday. Big local game will be against the Colonels on June 25(?) at Newport Central Catholic's field.

Looks like the Mustangs started hitting the ball. Good job guys.

Brossart has already beaten Silver Grove and Calvary Christian in the seeding games

Woodruff is in the 10th region.

I thought the score was 4-1 but I could be wrong.

So would St. Pats...

good game if only marlon brando could have been there to see this one...

I think it will be closer too, but I also thought that the Mayfield game two years ago would be a tight game... It's December and the Bred's are riding a 14 game playoff winning streak. My prediction goes NCC 24 FC 10. I just don't see FC scoring much on NCC and NCC might finally decide to play four quarters. Good luck to both teams. I hope the best team wins. Hopefully this game isn't decided by injuries or the zebras. Everyone drive safely with this weather.:thumb:

Idk if you have ever seen Newcath's facilities, but lets just say there is no stadium, the practice field resembles the Sahara desert on a good day, and the weight room is comparable to a walk in closet. That being said, I believe he stays at the high school level because he loves molding teenagers into men. At he stays at Ncc because... well... why leave? He's got a good thing at Ncc. He teaches AP English, has a good turnout of players every year, great athletes, great assistant coaches, exceptional support from the administration and the community, and he's winning consistently.

There were some pretty big hits from NCC's D last night. How bout the one Kues had on the punt in the 2nd half. I'm not particularly pleased to see the starting qb on special teams, but that was one heck of a hit.

When did they stop the bolded practice above? It is a neat idea, in the same token as Super Bowl winners meeting the President. It hasn't happened for Ncc the last two years. Maybe someone else has an idea? However, the Cincinnati Bengals were gracious enough to introduce them in 2005 at a timeout during a game. The Bengals offered again in '06, but scheduling conflicts made it impossible. To stay on topic I'd pick 2. My heart says 3, but there is a lot of football left to be played and numerous things can happen to cause either Ncc, Beechwood, or HHS to lose. Even though it appears they are all favored to win their respective classes, when the teams actually play the game, all of these posts and votes mean squat. Good luck to all teams for making it this far and hopefully there will be four state championship football teams in NKY come Christmas. Impressive considering no teams in 3A or 4A.:dancingpa

how much time left

I personally hate the idea of only letting the top two teams from each district advance. As someone stated earlier making the playoffs means getting an opportunity to make something happen. I don't know many high school seniors that wouldn't want to strap up one last time after the regular season. Even if that team is playing the number one team in the district that beat them by 50 earlier in the regular season. I think a team should get fired up to leave it all out on the field in quite possibly the last football game they will ever play. The winter is always long when you lose in the first round. Also let us not forget that just last year NCC was 5-5 heading to the playoffs as a 3 seed. Should they have not gotten a chance to win a state championship? Do we just say too bad you should have played better in the district? IMO, anytime there is a game with seniors playing with a sense of desperation and with desire to play football for just one more week, anything can happen.

good game SK

I disagree. I believe the touchdown still would have happened had the holding penalty not occured. Its not rare for linemen to hold unneccessarily. Also my point wasn't to challenge the holding call, it was to say that the one passing td was a misleading statistic because the 'breds were doing a fine job passing and had another touchdown called back. As for a prediction my heart says Ncc and my head says Ryle. Not having seen Ryle makes it all the harder. However I will say that Ryle is probably the toughest team on their schedule and I look for it to be a low-scoring hard fought game. I agree with a previous poster that a couple big plays (turnovers and special teams) might decide the game. Good luck both teams.
