  1. Community develpment work? Highlands is doing the same things they've always done, they still have the best youth league, they still have the best youth football camp, they still work as hard and effecient as ever. This notion that something needs to change is Highlands is crazy since they are doing the same things that made them the best program in KY not name Trinity the last 20 years. They are a very temporary down cycle with talent. This year's freshment class will win a State Championship before they graduate but the this year and next year will probably be rough. Oh and the coaches play the kids that are best at their positions. If a kid isn't getting in the game over someone that may appear less talented there is a reason. The kid who isn't playing probably can't be counted on to run the correct route, pick up the correct blocking assignment, etc., can the silliness about the HHS coaching staff stop.

  2. That is ludicrous! So much for football being a team sport! Morgan is a great addition however the talent level is the main reason this team is 5-0! You have rb's making huge runs, lb's killing it, db's making monster tackles and hits, true grit athletes so talented to play both sides and a freshman kicker, by the time he's a senior, putting #'s in Ryle's history book! Oh, and a coaching staff to boot! Coach Engler would never say such a thing! You have to have all the pieces to the puzzle to be 5-0, and he does to make his run! SK has it too, Marksberry never speaks of his qb or rb in a singular sense, wise and successful coaches need all the pieces to be successful!

     

    I love how guys become wise and sucessful coaches. Marksberry was at SK for 8 years with a .422 winning percentage before Chad Lawerence, Miles Simpson and a huge population growth came along. A under .500 coach for almost a decade including 1 and 2 win seasons is now wise and successful. He either had a very slow learning curve or some circumstances involving Jimmys and Joes changed.

  3. 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.

  4. 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!

  5. You can tell by the play calling that they do not trust Towles to throw the ball unless they are forced to. If that is the case they have to make a QB change but for some reason they are not. This tells me that they unfortunately do not have a better option.

  6. You seem to be taking this personally. Not all were blocks in the back but there were at least 2 obvious ones that were. The rule is also for player safety to be considered too.

     

    I said early, Campbell Co played great and deserved this win. It could very well be left at that but this is an open discussion regarding people's opinion on the game.

     

    The kid did look offsides, the pass that was run for 60 yards did look forward (but you are right, why did Summit View stop without a whistle).................no matter what Campbell Co outplayed Summit View.

     

    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.

  7. I saw blocks in the back l,holding an two forward laterals, and when coach asked about the holding calls the ref says you guys are just being selfish.. Who says that. I will say they did deserve the win but call the game like it's supposed..

     

    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.

  8. #44 is healthy and looks great!

     

    I also saw a 4th and 1, I think it was in the 3rd quarter, the Campbell Co left guard fires out for false start that wasn't called. He was 2 yards down field about to hit the middle linebacker when the ball was snapped.

     

    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.
