Cov Cath hands down will be the favorite in the 9th. Anyone else on here can say otherwise but they return their entire lineup. Question is will this season end for them like the team that was suppose to win it all 4 years ago?

Well, they are the obvious favorites but don't count out Mullins. Great coach and great person!

Yes, Mullins is the new head coach for St. Henry. Look for them to possibly win their district this year.

No ,Sheehan was not Mr. Football , nor was Austin Collinsworth , and we see where AC is now. AC is one of the players in the skill position from NKY that you seem to think are nearly extinct.

Name in the last 6 years who has gone to Major D1 schools on scholarships that are skilled players. I'll list a few for you since I'm sure your mind can only come up with Bluebirds. The obvious, Towles, Bruns, Collinsworth, Pike, Elliot, Simpson, Murray (Ryle). That's all that I can come up with in the last 5/6 years. Four of those are this year. So prior to this year where there's 4, there has only been 3 in the last 5 years. So, I believe I'm accurate in saying as you put it, "nearly extint".

I don't think Sheehan could hold Collinsworth's jock when it comes to speed.

CovCath:

 

Severson 3.25era, Maile 2.46era, Fagel 2.91era, Arnzen 2.92era and Tomlin 2.05 era.

There's no doubt CCH will be the team to beat in the 9th. Everyone returns and is a year older. TOG, are those official ERA's or are they your watered down ones? :lol:JK

I heard he isn't pitching this year. Heard since he's signed with EKU, he doesn't want to hurt his arm. Boone should be fairly deep with Stanley, Ganns, Schwartz, and Barickman. I even believe there's someone else I'm missing.

Well actually one if you look at the criteria I stated above. QB's don't count. I was primarily focused on positions where speed is a crucial factor.

But he went to a D1 school on scholarship. He also was the equivalent to KY's Mr Football his senior year in high school. Was Sheehan Mr. Football? Was he even considered? Again you're comparing apples and oranges. I wish him the best but when you start comparing him to a top NFL player, I have a problem. With that being said, he's a nice high school football player.[/QUOTE]

 

That's funny , they said the same thing about Welker when HE was in high school. Welker didn't average 35 yards per catch in high school his senior year.

 

I see your point and I can tell you haven't seen Sheehan " live on Friday night" , he my friend, is a BURNER, no doubt about it.

 

AND he received a D1 Scholarship to a Big 12 school! I have seen him " live on Friday night" and he's fast relative to the speed that is here in NKY. Is he as fast as the Collinsworth kid who went to ND? How many skilled players (WR, RB, CB, S) get D1 scholarships out of NKY? Not many. Probably 4 or 5 in last 6 or so years. Speed!!!!! It's not here in NKY. Sure there are a few here and there but not like other places.

Wes Welker was undrafted in 2004 out of Texas Tech.

I checked out the UK and U of L rosters for 2011 :

 

UK

Demarco Robinson (WR) 5-10

Nick Brazley (WR) 5-9

 

Uof L

Charles Gaines(WR) 5-11

Robert Clark (WR) 5-9

Demarcus Topp (WR) 5-10

Eli Rogers (WR) 5-10

Jarret Davis (WR) 5-9

Kal Dominguez (WR) 6-0

Scott Radcliff (WR) 5-10

 

Looks to me that height doesn't mean that much at wide reciever, especially at Louisville. Of course these teams have taller recievers but this shows that you don't have to be ten feet tall to play in college. Of the players that I have listed , I don't know how many are scholly players, if any.

I'm pretty sure all those guys are 4.3 to 4.4 guys. My whole point is...he would've been offered if he's as good as you think he is. Obviously those schools stayed off of him for a reason. I don't know his 40 time or what kind of hands he has. Best of luck to him wherever he goes.

Don't try and compare Sheehan to Welker. Just because he's 5'9" doesn't mean he's in the same league. Welker was the Oklahoma state player of the year his senior year in high school. I think you're comparing apples and oranges. Just because I'm 5'3" and play basketball, don't compare me to Mugsy Bogues.:eek:

I think he's a little small for OSU. JMO. He should probably think about EKU or smaller schools.

Both great young men, who cut their teeth playing Boone County Pee Wee football. Congrats and good luck, gentlemen!

Maybe the kid from Boone County did, but Vocke played for Erlanger Lions in the NKYFL.

Clyde, that's exactly what I'm referring to.

Taylor Smith from BW should have a nice year. If I recall, he beat both Boone and NCC last year.

No question about adapting a system to the talent; however, in years past the coaches always said they didn't have a TE or FB but I totally disagree looking at the players they have had over the last 5-6 years. I guess they didn't want to develop those types of players.

I don't understand. He is not getting a full ride from EKU and some on here what Ohio State to show him 'love' and give him a scholarship. Wow! There is a slight difference between the two schools. He should probably go where he's going to get some money.

Did Lorenzen eat Towles? OH NO!!!

Curious to see if Brossart continues with 3-5 defense and if he remains a spread guy on offense. He ran his offense when he was in OH and at CCH. Personally, I would like to see him run some TE sets with a fullback. He needs to change mentality of finesse football and get them kids believing in smash mouth football. JMO.

Addition by subtraction.

Agreed!

Channel ran Wing T, how will Dixie's parents and fan base accept that offense. Doesn't seem to fit that community

NCC went from a spread offense to a wing T style offense. Didn't seem to hurt them.

Brandon Berger = stud!

Boone(maybe new school)!

And Bellevue Independent public school, Ludlow Independent, etc....
