2 Humped Camel

All this to say, there is a soon to be ex college football player being discussed in this thread. There isn't anything wrong with it and it happens every year to thousands of young men. It is tough being away from home, girl friends, family, etc. I suspect the last thing in the world this guy wants to do is tell his coach he has to leave early to go see his girl friend. He'll quit at the end of the season.

While RaiderRailBird is being rather pompous in his/her delivery, I think his message is pretty accurate. I thought with the facilities, the CCYFL and an up and coming coach that the Camels would have turned the corner by now. I love me some Camels football but it is has been full of excuses since well before I played there about why they aren't competitive. I wish they were, I wish they had made deep playoff runs but they don't and have never been able to sustain any true level of sucess. IMO sports at CCHS has never truly had the full support of the administration, school board or the community. In fact the only State Champion coach they had was forced to chose between coaching and being an AD. This is probably a topic for another thread but I don't think RRB is incorrect about this topic even though it stings to hear. Go Camels!

I'm not taking it personal at all, I don't know a single kid on the team. I was there however and didn't see bad officiating. I don't like for parents to blame a loss on officiating when that wasn't the case. No need to diminish the other team's accomplishments by blaming the officials is my only point.

From my angle I couldn't tell if they were forward or not but the side judge clearly didn't blow the play dead. It is not the fault of the officials that Campbell County played until they heard a whistle and the Summit View kids did not. Another coaching issue and not an official problem. They may have missed a hold or two, I can't say but if you think those crack blocks on the bubble play they ran repeatedly were blocks in the back, then you are incorrect and do not understand the rule.

Actually they snapped the ball and most everyone stayed in their stance except for the guard, QB and RB which confused the defense who didn't react. The ball was snapped and therefore not a false start. The Summit View kids should have reacted at the snap of the ball and not to the lack of movement from the Campbell county players. Your issue should be with the Summit View coaches and not the refs.

I was at that game watching my step daughter cheer and didn't see a single bad call one way or the other. There were lots of encroachments, false starts, etc. but I didn't see anything that effected a big play. What call(s) are you talking about or is it just sour grapes?

Awful news, thoughts and prayers to her friends and family.

Cooper by at least 3 scores.

I love my Camels but they have no business in the top 10 of anything right now.

I picked Ryle only because of how badly HHS has gotten out of the gate. I think if Ryle wins it will be a nail biter but it wouldn't shock me to see HHS win either. I hear BW has taken over the defense and several guys that played only offense were practicing on defense yesterday. I guess time will tell if they are going both ways or simply switching to defense. I've said it before, this is not your usual HHS team but to think a bunch of NKY teams are just going to run over them is silly.

I guess this is why the coach sent an email to the parents yesterday about criticising kids from the stands. Must have been a whole lot of complaining from the Camel parents watching the lead slip away.

No, they'll be 1-1 very soon. This notion that Highlands is terrible is silly. They are still a very above average high school team. I think how good of a team Cooper is, is still being discounted. This is not a highlands team that we've all come to know, but they aren't chopped liver either.

"If do right, no can defense!"

I hope the Camels pull one out but I think the Birds get back to their winning ways this week. I don't expect a blow out but something like 28-17 is probably where it will be. Highlands is still good, I think by the end of the season it should be apparent that their loss to Cooper was nothing to be ashamed of.
