Taking nothing away from CCH, but it sounds like Dixie's D was awful.

That tells me that when he was running up the sideline that someone from Dixie was too close to the white line and he had to move out of the way. Now, the team really deserves a penalty for that don't they? What a joke.

I'm saying let the kids play the game. If there is a play that has a significant effect on the outcome of the game, then call it, but if not, don't just throw the flag to throw it. Take the sideline infraction penalities, I'm sure it is some sidejudge that really wants to be a part of the action.

Typical High School Officiating. They see something on a college or pro game, and they say "Hey, I'm going to call that in my next game."

Tough loss for Dixie. I'm sure that will be a long bus ride back. As tough as it will be for the seniors, I'm sure the Dixie staff will be glad to get this year behind them. Definately the toughest they've had in a while.

How did HHS score with 19 sec left?

Didn't see this one coming. Go Bryan Station.

I think playoff advise from a Campbell fan may fall on def ears.

I hope you're correct, but I just don't see it with this team. Take last year for example, Dixie rolled Campbell and then got embarressed by CovCath. Maybe if they get hammered by Campbell, they'll be ready for the first round of the playoffs?

This one is tough to predict. I think the teams are eveningly matched, but the only thing Dixie needs to do is come away healthy for the next week. With Campbell only playing for pride, I could see Dixie shifting into cruise control and letting some of their key guys watch most of this game. Campbell will probably win.

You're not quite correct. Dixie will play Boone next week, and yes, Dixie did lose to 2 teams that Highlands beat, but I wouldn't be so quick to talk about it when Dixie did wipe the field with Highlands, and pretty much did whatever they wanted to them. The Holmes loss in week 1 definately is a major thorn in the side of Dixie's season, but since they can't win the championship, at least they can smile at the fact they absolutely demoralized Highlands. By the way, good luck against Beechwood.

Please remember that I'm a Dixie guy....... NKY is blessed with great coaches, but, like him or not, you can't ignore Mueller. Best program in NKY, period.

Parents need to understand that these types of rants do nothing but hurt team unity. I've seen plenty of parents market their displeasure, and nothing good every comes from it. I think some parents have a hard time admitting that their team, and/or kids, just aren't very good. Tough situation to deal with nonetheless.

Great Job Campbell. They made the plays and Dixie didn't. They had plenty of opportunity to put the game away, and just couldn't do it.

I'll shift gears here...... Is this a posting record for a Freshman Game???

I haven't been to as many HHS games as you, however, I do remember HHS running a HB/WR, whatever you want to call it, pass against Dixie in 2003 when the game was clearly out of reach. I'm sure there are more, but that's the first one that comes to mind. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that, but they have been known to score when they can, regardless of the score.

From where I was it looked like an ankle break/dislocation. He appeared to be in some pain. Nothing dirty, it just looked like he got caught up in a pile.

First off, everyone needs to keep the Highlands player that went out in the life squad in their thoughts. Whether you like HHS or not, no one likes to see that happen. As for the game, Dixie played intense and agressive football from the first whistle to the last, and really controlled the LOS. HHS did seem to get a little redundant on offense, but let's be honest, their Varsity doesn't have the deepest playbook in the world either, they are just VERY good at what they do. HHS has some very nice young players that will be great Varsity players for them in the years to come. In particular, hats off to #6 for HHS, he made a nice tiptoe up the sidelines on the long pass, and showed great speed on the Kickoff return. As I stated above, Dixie won this game on the line, and their offensive and defensive lines played very well. As for the reverse pass......... I would say that the game wasn't in question at that point, but maybe that was a statement that Dixie hasn't forgotten all the times that has happened to them over the years. And it should be noted that Dixie did get the ball back and ended the game by taking a knee. As for the "on-side" kick.......... This was a poor attempt at a squib. No malacious intent there. At the end of the day they are freshman, and they do make mistakes. HHS played hard, but Dixie was better tonight. Better enjoy it while you can Dixie, because I can guarantee you that the next time you see them, they will be a different team.

Dixie is in for a long year. I have to agree with the Highlands' folks, they could have named their score.

That is a ridiculous statement. Didn't by winning the game they proved they were a better team?? Actually, Highlands probably made it closer than it should have been. The only NKY Dixie lost to that year was Boone, and was very good, but ran into Brian Brohm and Trinity in the second round of the playoffs. To say what you said is simply ridiculous.

Did you really just say Scott doesn't have a terrible program? How many games have they won in the last 10 years?

They did move EJ to the slot, but CovCath moved their cover guy over to where ever he was. They did a good job of covering him, and if you try to force it to EJ, then you have Bricking throwing into double coverage. Dixie needed guys other than Detmer to make plays and that just didn't happen.

Wow, creativity, I like that. I'll bet you patted yourself on the back for thinking up that insightful comment. Thanks for the advice.:thumb:

Wow..... Didn't see that one coming. I don't know if anyone else who was at the game saw this, but I thought Dixie played "shell shocked" the whole game. A rather emotionless effort, and CovCath capitalized on that. Nice win CCH, I think the 'Birds will get all they want next week.

I see your point, believe me I do. But I believe the point behind this thread was why wouldn't a team in NKY want to schedule Highlands. It's one thing to schedule a team you think may beat you, but it is another to schedule a team that will embarrass you. And I understand the argument of "running your offense" when you are ahead, but that is quite difference from trick plays, which occurs quite frequently.
