Black and gold has 50 posts, about 30 of them are telling us how Ncc football has ended, the other 20 are about how the Steelers are going to beat Cincinnati. It's sad.

I guess New Cath making the state game the first two years in their new class wasn't just shy of domination. :confused: New Cath was down a bit this year, but they will be back strong next year.

Here you go. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/highschool/11/04/no.punting.ap/index.html "Let's take an example. According to his data, a team that takes over the ball at its opponent's 10 or closer has a 92 percent chance of scoring a touchdown. A team that gains possession between its opponent's 40-yard line and its 31 has a 77 percent chance of scoring a touchdown. So, Kelley figures, even if the Bruins fail to convert, he is only increasing his opponents' chances of scoring a TD by 15 percentage points more than if his team got off a decent punt. So why not go for it on fourth-and-8 from your own 6? And, it should be noted, the Bruins convert about 50 percent of the time."

I'll have to look for the article, but while in the waiting room in the doctors office i read a Sports Illistrated article about this topic. They interviewed a high school coach out west(can't remember where) that never punts or kicks field goals, no matter what his field position is. He doesn't even carry a punter/field goal kicker on the roaster. His winning percentage was pretty good and he actually won a state championship a couple years ago. He based this coaching style on a bunch of stats that he had prepared. I thought he was crazy at first, but after looking at the numbers, i almost agree with him.

Injured his ankle in a practice last week.

This game on the radio?

Bellevue got beat pretty good by Holy Cross last week,(I understand Holy Cross is going to be good this year) so im going to say Newport gets them by 14-21 also.

Newport by 3 tds

I would think Northern Kentucky would be well represented if Beechwood or NewCath played an Ohio small school power. Hopefully someone make this happen.

I know nothing about this year's Corbin team. Sounds like they run, how is their passing game?

"With Beechwood and Newport Central Catholic, two of Northern Kentucky's storied programs, squaring off tonight, we take a look at the rivalry by the numbers:" http://news.cincinnati.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/AB/20081107/SPT030201/811070393/

I bought the r7 a few weeks ago, took it to the driving range yesterday for the first time and it felt good.

I know 98 and he doesnt have any family that plays or sits on Ncc's basketball bench. Huge win for the breds.

Thanks for the help:thumb:
