Band competition in Indy.

Oh ya! I love winter and all the food, but can't wait for spring & baseball. Is there an official band wagon yet :ylsuper: ?

Agree with your point, but I'd substitue Crawford for Fennell - not that Fennell isn't a very good back, I just prefer Crawford. It was great to see Conner play again, but IMO, the Crawford/Head tandem is more potent at this momment. There were a couple spots last night where Conner made very nice runs, but Crawford's speed would have gained him ~10 more yards, or maybe 7 points. Unless the O-line play was down last night, which it didn't look to be, Crawford is just faster & more explosive than Conner right now. No slight to any of them though. I'm sure many NKY coaches would love to have all those kids!

Can anyone provide a summary of the major points discussed?

Just out of curiosity, how is this type of stuff communicated by the school or athletic department? I never see anything on the district website.

On another thread, mention was made of a possible informational baseball meeting for Highlands w/ the new coach. Does anyone have details - where, when?

When & where is the meeting?

Does any one know who won???????

I feel sorry for one person here, and one person only....the CCH player. He has to be so beaten down by all this garbage, but still goes out & works hard every week. He has only one high school football experience in his lifetime, and a bunch of people who should theoretically know better, are ruining it. It's really amazing to watch.

An opinion from someone who has no history with the KY playoff system beyond the last few years: there are WAY too many poor quality teams who make the playoffs. Where I grew up, you knew only the BEST teams would be lucky enough to make the post-season.

http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/eticket/story?page=willows I drove through this town for 4 (ok, 5) years on my way to college in another small town in the area, and I can tell you, there are Willows all over KY, all over this country for that matter. NKY has lost it's share of kids the last few years, and it never hurts to be reminded what's truly important, especially with the post-season looming.

Sorry, you're right. Now that I reread it, this will end up a Ft. T love-fest. It's just as every football season progresses, I'm always amazed at the consistency of the HHS program. Then I look around at my kid's jr. team and all the work everyone is doing, and the commitment of the town, and duh, no wonder. Then I compare it to what I grew up with, and .... we'll this post popped out.

After being born & raised in a different universe and now living in Ft. Thomas for 8 years, my question is this: Does the town of Ft. Thomas realize & appreciate what they have in Highlands football? So many people I've met & known in those 8 years spent their childhoods in Ft. Thomas, going to some terrific schools and playing in an excellent Jr. Football league that prepared them, not over-prepared them, for what they'd see on the high school field a few years later. It's all very second nature to them. Some of us didn't have that experience. Some never saw their parents attending every high school football game from the time they started kindergarten. Some played in leagues where parents & non-parents didn't voluntarily show up at 7:00 AM every Saturday morning to ensure the kids had a quality playing experience that day. Some attended high schools with enormous talent bases, that underperformed year, after year, after year, in towns that really didn't care. Some saw their crowds at away games outnumbered by the porta-potties. Some didn't have coaches that truly judge the result of their coaching more by the career & family success of their players at age 30, then their football success at age 18. I wonder, do the people of Ft. Thomas realize that not every town in America both lives and breathes with their high school's football program, and is willing and able to do the work necessary to make football championships seemingly fall from the trees with every turn of the leaves? Do they understand that people leave high school all over this nation never having the opportunity to fully grasp their potential as football players. Do they really realize how special of an environment they, their parents, and their grandparents have created? What do you think?

True, it just seems like he's not getting the job done.

Cov Cath needs to fire their coach!!!!

That's hysterical! Where I grew up you had to drive for a half hour to get out of the county. Now I pass through three counties on my way to work!

Here's my take. Bottom line - anyone who speaks badly about any kid leaving his current school district for another with better educational or athletic opportunity needs to take a hard look in the mirror. My kids will always go to the schools that provide them with the best opportunity for success in the future that I can afford. Whether that opportunity for success is academic, athletic or both is irrelevant. There is no glory in holding onto a sinking ship for loyalty sake when your future prosperity is at stake. If there exists a logic that disputes this reasoning, I am unaware of it.
