It appeared to me there was contact. If you stop video you can also see contact was at .4 seconds, plenty of time for a tip in had he got hand on ball. I have always believed a foul is foul. I don't think the rules should change by situation or time. If so then when, 10 sec, 5 sec, 1 sec. Now officials have to watch game and clock to see what calls are made. The foul count was very even, Boyle had ball with score tied. I think if an official or officials were going to hose, cheat they would make it a 10-20 point game at end. I think Boyle coaches, players, fans keep thinks Whitley would go away but they never did!!!!!

I really think the 1st year its at Commonwealth will be the largest attendance ever!

If PETA gets involved this could get ugly

This rule has been in effect forever. Now it just includes 7-8 grade.

If you can play they will find you. EX: Brett Bach from tiny Augusta

I agree there is a difference to an extent but football travel of this sort is by far not the norm and if it is possible I see nothing wrong with it. Plus if week zero I would not think Florida schools would be in session.

Why. HS baseball teams travel all over during spring break and HS basketball teams do the same during Christmas break, What's the difference?

Seriously, Morristown west/ East, Madison Southern, Bell Co, Knox Central, Clay Co, Rockcastle Co, Harlan Co and Boyle Co.

I agree a good number but parents and players need to realize that's less than 4% of seniors in the state who played football. 1/2 the players probably wont be playing after 2 years. HIT THE BOOKS

Excellent to see these young men continue their football career. I think though what players and parents need to understand is that is only a little over 2% of the HS seniors going on to play college ball and only a little over 1% playing DI. Probably only half or a little more will still be playing in 2 years. HIT THE BOOKS!!!!!!!!!!!

Well if you go back and look at my post I haven't said anything. I prefer to throw it actually. What do you care if someone screams transfer about HHS? You coach somewhere else.

There you go, What ever team comes from nowhere to win a state championship this year we will know it was because they started using the HHS 3 1/2 hour winter workout program with "no breaks"

The phone call to schedule the game:sneaky:

That 1 call determined the outcome of the Ryle game last year!

I think it is awesome this game is on ESPNU. Any school would love to be in this situation. Both teams were state champs in their divisions last year and Highlands tradition had to to very appealing to ESPN. I wish Highlands the best. I won't be able to watch live but i will record and watch. I guess thats called DVRed now instead of record.

They finished 13-1 last year ranked 97th in state of Florida. They are preseason 152 is state this year. There are over 600 schools that play football in Florida.

Highlands will be very good. But 23 in the Nation, no way. They would probably not be a top 10 team in Ohio and that's not even counting, PA, Fl, Al, Tx, Ga, Pa, Calf, Tn, Sc, La, Ms.

With Ensworth ranked preseason No. 1 in the state of Tennessee I believe it makes the Trinity game very important also. These 2 games could help give a little credibility to KY HS football but I do believe the Ensworth Trinity game is most important.

Trinity is KY football. They have an awesome team, staff and fan base. KY HS football is KY HS football . If Trinity were in Texas, Pa, Ga, Fl, Calf, Tx ,Oh, they probably wouldn't even be a top 10 team in that state.

In reference to RCC9 and his daughters situation. I know a girls college basketball assistant, 2 college boys assistants and several college football assistants. College coaches really like for their recruits to play other sports. It shows their versatility and athletic ability. Another big factor is if a recruit has focused on 1 sport for 3-4-5 years they worry about burnout. I'm not saying shouldn't give one up or should, just a few other things to weigh in. If you know or have access to any college coaches I'm sure any of them would be happy to discuss it with you.

I think most coaches put the time in because other coaches do, so they will not be perceived as not working as hard as others. I believe if there were limitations added most coaches would welcome it. I think 1 big misconception about athletics is the guys who win work harder than they guys who don't. I've been around HS athletics for 33 years as coach and fan. For most part the guys who win 0-1-2-3 games work just as hard and put in just as much time as the guys who win 8-9-10-15 games. When Steve Spurrier left pro coaching a reporter ask him what he had learned, he said ' I learned some humility and that the coaches and players who don't win work just as hard as the ones that do"

Heck I agree with you guys also?

I agree:) Since there are so many pages I will kinda keep it going. I think if the vote had been for 2 options, keep 4 and either take 3 or 2 the outcome would have been same but margin would not appear as a land slide. I think that was the KHSAA way of keeping it the way the wanted it without much worry!

I agree. Football is completely different so I don't see why we need to try and do as they do. The argument that others sports do it so football should, and I will use words Hellbird used about some of my post, is lame and stupid.

What is so great about these other sports that make some of you think we should pattern our football system after theirs or we are being short changed if we don't?
