Never saw Stenzel play until last night and I was amazed at his talent. He can do it all. It'll be fun to watch him and Middleton battle against each other tonight.

That's good to know. I think a move to the TE position will suit him well. I like that he's added 25 lbs to his frame. At 6'7 235 I think he'll be a great TE. In the times I saw him play, he didn't do anything that made him seem unathletic, if you understand what I'm saying.

Ryle's stat guy is one of the best. They have their stats listed for every game on Ryle's football website. Just spot searching I estimated he caught for about 100 yards and saw 1 TD. If you'd like you can check their box scores individually. Keep in mind last year Ryle did not throw that much. They had a great running attack with Adam Schmitz & Co. I'd imagine he's getting some looks because of his size 6'6 210 and raw talent at this point. He'll only get better. Ryle's game summary page

Sorry, for you it can be any other letter. I understand.

We all have a team/teams we root for. Who are the guys on your team that have x-factor abilities? He could be the star player or the Soph OL that fills in off the bench nicely to give the Sr OL a breather. Please give your player's name and even better if you can give an example of their x-factor ability.

The new field looks amazing. I bet some of last year's seniors are bummed they weren't able to play on it.

That's great to hear! Thanks for the insight.

I'll second the elusive first win for the 'Stangs.

Mexitucky, you hit the nail on the head. Kues has proven he can do it with his arm and legs already, but the bottom line is he needs guys who can catch the ball. NewCath lost some of their excellent receivers to graduation, but I'd expect the next guys in line to fill in nicely. In the early going, Kues is my guy. Guidugli is well...a Guidugli, so even though he doesn't have much of a track record, his last name speaks for itself. He'll be up there.

This makes me think that bigger things are in store for Teipel if IU has already made an offer and pulled, so if I were him, think of it as one less school to choose from. The same goes for Mainello's offer from CMU. If these two play well and demonstrate consistent technique they'll be going to good college programs. Any insiders know how they are in class? I'm curious to know their academic side.

Holmes is a phenomenal team to watch. Their next 5 off the bench could be starters. They're too deep. When they're getting 17 from JaMel Riley off the bench, that tells me something. B-Town can score from what I've seen, but when the 9th Region MVP Arrez Henderson and team show up on Wednesday, I see a lobsided score.

31-28

Thanks to the two Corbin folks who posted websites and pronounciations. I appreciate it.

Would anyone from Corbin be able to help me out with a couple things? First, what's the name of your local newspaper, I'd like to read some online articles about your team. Second, how is your QB's last name pronounced, is it Cash-in, Kay-shin or another way? Thanks.

You're close, but my real colors are green and white.

This is a fantastic thread. Thanks to everyone from Corbin for all the information about the Redhounds, especially the roster and schedule. This is a definite 'perk' for belonging to this site. Good luck to both of the teams Friday night. I will be there in neutral colors.

Yes, Ryle beat NCC. This game is going to be intense. This is a game that CCHS players had marked on their calendars when the schedule came out. NO ONE is going to slack off in this one. There are so many connections between both of these teams. A lot of the players were teammates before they got into high school. Some of the coaches even taught players on the opposite team in their early years. This is a HUGE game for both teams.

NewCath at Pikeville a couple years ago. We had lightning delays and didn't get home until 3AM. It was a nice road trip though.

Bellevue wins this one. Lloyd hasn't shown me much this season. Bellevue despite being an 'A' school will be able to handle the Juggs. No pun intended.

Thanks Birdsfan. The 'i' is the tricky part, but now I got it.

Ouch, CC is losing credibility. I think the Camels come off the bye week refreshed and ready to roll. Holmes is back on track, but the Camels have a new look offense and it'll pay off against the Bulldogs. Camels 28-21 Bulldogs

I was in the broadcast booth with Charlie and Scott last week at the Newport/NewCath game. As a young broadcaster it's easy to say that I look up to guys like Charlie and Scott. Charlie, if you have never met him, is one heck and I mean one heck of a guy. He's always been one of the coolest people to talk to about Northern Kentucky sports. He knows everything. He was talking to me before the game about a segment he does on ICN6 that talks about the basics of football. He's not only a broadcaster, but he's a 'teaching broadcaster'. He was talking about 'holding' with me and was literally holding me explaining the rule. We was also explaining the forward/backward pass rule to me. I could talk to guys like him for days about that stuff. Overall, coming from a Radio/TV background, ICN6 does one heck of a job. Don Weber is a one man band, it's really unbelievable how much he does. Most of their crew are college kids or interns just trying to learn the ropes. I thought the broadcast looked really good from the monitor that was in the room with us. Just coming from someone who is aspiring to become a better broadcaster I'd like to see more college students/ interns doing PBP and color for ICN and other outlets. Also, to the post referring to pronouncing names wrong like 'Bathiany'. This is a tough thing to get down. I'll ask two or three people from the school and you get a different pronounciation. I agree that everyone's name should be pronounciated right in a broadcast, but if you can't find out, you have to do the best you can and ask for forgiveness. Even the best broadcasters flub up on names. Gilyard for UC for example. Houshmanzadeh when he first broke out. By the way how is it pronounced? I think I have a Highlands game soon.

Every time I go to do a broadcast I feel the same way. I really do think that fans can influence the team...

Brossart wins after pulling off one of the most amazing 2 minute drills in HS football history...the score 14-10

He will be in my thoughts and prayers as he goes through these difficult times in his life. He's been a staple to Northern Kentucky High School Football and I'm sure everyone will miss him being on the sidelines. Thanks for the update Guru.
