How's Rouse's injury? Will he be OK for the Hoops' season?

Didn't know Pendleton and Ashland PB were in this tourney? Bird Man do you have the field for this one, it might be worth heading down AA to see some of these games? Any other NKY 10th teams in the field?

Apparently a freshman/sophmore has never made the decision to not return to a sport, concentrate on another sport they may be better at, etc. the next year at NCC, I suppose?? Mustang, other than the addition of the experienced Bundy to replace S. Code, who moved on to a head coaching job; isn't the staff the same one that's had BB on a serious run the last several years?

Sports of All Sorts in NKY is a fine facility and has hosted quite a few regional YBOA type tourneys, as well as tons of youth events. They've got 4 or 5 courts, convienently located right off I-75, and run good tournaments from what I've heard. Not had much chance to go after AAU events, as the KBA pretty much has had a lock on these; but have had some success getting participation from some very good Cincy teams in their events. Problem is NKY is a haul for Eastern and Western KY teams; but if Paducah can host a state golf tourney................

Both Scott and Brossart, who've been the cream of the crop in the 37th the last couple years. lost a ton to graduation. It will be interesting to see how both shape up by mid-to-late season, once the new players get some varsity seasoning. Guessing both coaching staffs will get maximum effort out of their troops, and one or both will pull a few upsets along the way! Brossart's defensive intensity should keep them in a few games, and Coach Carr's teams always play tough!

They certainly hae more returning contributors than anyone in the 37th, and are rightfully the favorite. It will be interesting to see how they respond to Coach Code's more demanding physical/defensive-minded style of play, especially the older guys who were used to a less demanding style? Haven't seen their schedule yet--Are they traveling to any tourneys?

I've also heard they had a couple younger kids not coming back, but don't have your insight as to why?? Since most schools carry about 15 frosh and 15+ JV/Varsity players; I'd guess that most programs lose a few kids along the way for one reason or another, since I rarely see 30 Varsity players on a team?? Didn't Brossart's staff remain largely intact, except for Scott Code taking the head job at Campbell??

Good idea--at least they could avoid repeats from the regular season!

49-0 53-7 48-0 62-0 54-0 54-0 49-7 77-0 52-6 59-7 57-7 48-0 49-7 58-7 57-0 55-0 41-6 66-14 50-0 57-6 47-6 52-0 52-0 51-0 49-7 70-0 54-6 49-7 48-6 72-0 Just a sample of 30 playoff games tonight. A total of 1639-106 and these are only some of the worst games. Spellbinding football!!

Now showing it as 45-13 as if it matters. Boone-Ryle rematch should be a good one next week.

Final per NKY Sports

IMO the number of teams making the playoffs is secondary to the number of champions the system crowns--Six champs out of 220 (one out of every 36 teams) teams is crazy, and heading towards "everyone gets a trophy-ville"!! I'd be for letting everyone in, but it's tough logistically, as while hoops, baseball, soccer, etc. can play every day; football needs too much recovery time.

Beechwood names the score in this one!! On what basis (hope and Appalachian State/Michigan aside) would Ludlow hope to be competitive in this game??

Because the coach thought they couldn't contribute to the Varsity, and she wouldn't allow them to play JV?? Crazy--Local teams have been littered with senior heros who saw little meanful time at the varsity level as juniors, but became huge contributors as seniors!!

Sounds good, but how many years can you have an "ideal" situation? In NKY you've got a lot of small/medium sized schools who tend to have "good class-bad class" syndrome; and there's very often a place on the JV team for juniors, especially if the senior class is deep & talented. Where else are the juniors who will be counted on to lead the team next year, supposed to get game experience. Most schools I'm familiar with practice the JV & Varsity together, but if you're in the 7-10 range in the rotation, you still need the real game experience JV can provide.

I'm confused reading this thread? Why would these girls (current juniors as I understand) be off the team, whether or not they play JV; especially after showing dedication in coming back from injuries? Were they cut, did they quit?? A blanket rule saying no juniors on JV is absurd!! As many have said, for the betterment of the program; each circumstance should be considered individually. Basically saying if a junior isn't good enough to be "in the rotation", just take the year off, and we'll bring you back next year and depend on you to win it all for us?? Makes no sense unless your goal is to thin your overall player's numbers, because unless you're projecting as a starter or top reserve, why come back for your junior year??

The simple truth is they hadn't been there in about a month, and only six times in the previous 9 games; so maybe they ought to be allowed a little latitude?? It's got to be a long season for an 0-10 team, so to allow them to have a little fun in their last game might not be so bad--They got penalized as they should have, but that might fall into one of those "good penalties" catagory?? Sounds like much ado, about little, having been at this game and seeing another Brossart game this year. I'd hardly catagorize them a dirty team, in fact, they probably needed to be a lot more aggressive from what I saw. Good luck to the Mustangs in their efforts to build their program, and congratulations to them for finally putting forth the effort to start a program. Also congrats to their fans for the support they showed throughout the year. Best of luck to Gallatin this weekend in the playoffs--Great season for such a new program!!

Congrats Slick!!

Both teams have been up & down this season, but Ryle would appear to be the better team overall, and at home. I'll take the Raiders by a couple TD's in a high scoring game!!

Could you make a "top 20" out of the teams that missed the playoffs, or were there even that many teams left out??

Despite the records, this is a big surprise to me? BW with a couple losses, to the #1 ranked 2-A team and a "much better than their record" 5-A team; but appears to have played a much better schedule. Might not be wise to give the Tigers some added bulletin board material??

Should be one of the best first round matchups in the state. Both teams probably playing better than they were for the first game, and CCH has some kids back; but I still think Dixie will squeak this one out in a very close, but not as high scoring game-----31-28.
