I think Ryle learned a lot in the first half of the Cooper game! If you let your opponent hang around and gain confidence and momentum you set yourself up for a dog fight or even a loss! Now with Ryle being in the driver's seat in Northern Kentucky 6A and Ryle's strength being the power I offense! It would be beneficial for Ryle to grab the momentum early, doing what they do best. Both running and passing out of their most effective formation. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out when called correctly Ryle has less 3 and outs, opens up more playmaker's and also put's a 210lb downhill RB 7 yds deep instead of from a dead stop. I think this game could be very close or maybe a blowout. Hopefully Ryle builds some type of momentum and lead before they work on parts of their game that needs the most work.

I really feel sorry for our young student athletes in today's world. When I was a kid (a long time ago), and someone wanted to post inaccurate or untrue information they usually wrote something on a wall or started a stupid rumor. But in today's silly world, these young kids get to read the stupidity of disgruntled parents over the internet. That's where our society has slipped to! All because of a game! I can now see where a few of the student athletes, now at SK learned what they posted on Travis's facebook and the distasteful texts that were sent throughout the week. It was an interesting week to say the least! You see its not the 3500 yds or 45 tds that makes me proud! But the way a 14,15,and now 16 year old kid handles the stupidity of adults that do not know how to lose! I think Neerfan needs to direct some of those people to the 1981 state championship trophy at SK. Those guys all had character. Learn sportsmanship.

He will also attend games on an unofficial visit at the University of Cincinnati, Notre Dame, Kentucky and may attend a Rutgers game as an unofficial visit. Thanks for the kind words in your post.

Was a little shocked also! ( 4 touches for 43 yards 2nd half for Elliott)

Louisville St. Xavier has won a few with a rush heavy offense! (I think they had 6 pass attempts against SK)

Congratulations to Trevan and the Brown family! Met his mom and dad this summer at a camp. Very nice family!:thumb:

There is no doubt about it ! Dvontae is a excellent RB!:thumb:

I'll be right back! I have to get to Barnes & Noble Booksellers to see what the 2010 Kentucky Football Yearbook has to say about this District 6 rankings! Those people usually get it right!

2009-137 yards rushing, 65 yards receriving = 202 Yards total offense (15 yrs old) 2008-85 yards rushing (14 yrs old) Travis has 287 yards total offense against SK and was still riding a bike at this time,wasn't even old enough to drive himself to the game!

Well you think I would know what he is being recruited at! But let me educate you a little. The average 40 time for NFL RB is 4.62. The college coaches of today use a system they call a speed score. Calculated by multiplying the players weight by 200, dividing that figure by his 40, taken to the fourth power. When you run a 4.57 or 4.60 timed by a college coach it turns a lot of heads.And when you are over 200 lbs they really like it! Not to compare Travis to a NFL athlete because he's not. I will compare his speed score with two well known RB's. Bernard Scott Cin Bengals 4.56,200 lbs, Jovan Ringer Tenn Titans 4.60,205 lbs and Travis 4.57, 203 lbs. All three speed scores are about the same. As far as his speed and quickness that's not even a question! ( top shuttle at UC also) As a parent I don't care what position he ends up at! But I do know what he is being recruited at! The recruiting process today is a lot different than it was in 1957 or even the 80's when uncle Bob timed his nephew in the back yard and told everyone he ran a 4.4!

His grandpa doesn't know anything about his recruiting but I sure do! Univ.Cincinnati (RB), N.C.State (RB & LB), Univ of Kentucky (RB), Univ of Virginia (LB), Ohio Univ (RB), Western KY (RB), Murray State (RB) and EKU (RB) Also saw Patrick Towels at UC and the kid is a great QB! His dad is a very nice man and I wish him and Patrick all the best! By the way coach Jones is a super guy and also coach Archer at NC State! (To question a kid with a sub 4.6 40 is funny)

University of Kentucky says he's 4.57 with 33" vertical and a top 3 shuttle of all athletes at the camp! Just ask Joker!

Congrats! Matt

I am so happy for Jake and his family! My son had the honor of being on the 07 team with Jake. Jake is a tremendous young man that comes from a great family! Hanover is getting a great football player and most important a great young man! Congratulations

Congrats to Joe and his family! Great kid and great family!
