aptr

That is what I meant. Thank you for helping clear that up

I shouldve added in 2A, where it actually matters. NCC losing to BW is a rivalry, but has no bearing on a championship

Very true statement

BW in a yawner

I expect Hightchew to be ready to go and full strength, especially with how he played last night. The team with the fewest mistakes and best execution will win. I think this will be NCC's real first test since Coach Eviston has been the head coach. Im going with HC by 7

I think that this will be a great game and could go either way. Im pulling for HC in this one. It would be nice to see a team that has never done it, do it

Congrats to both teams. I thought this was gonna be the result with HC winning big, but OC has some really nice players that can play for any team in NKY. HC has improved drastically since the BW game. That is why you play teams like BW early in the season so you can see what your weaknesses are and address them for this time of year. HC/NCC will be a great game to watch next week. On a side note, the OC fans were some of the nicest fans Ive come across as a visitor to a stadium. Fans in NKY could really learn something from them. After all, its a game and its about the kids. Prayers go out to the young man who was injured last night

What are you basing that on?

Dont hate HC. Im pulling for Lloyd this week, along with you. Lets see a HC/Lloyd matchup. What do you say?

Who could look past a team that hasn't been beaten all year? I doubt Owen will have anyone looking past them the rest of this season if they get past HC. Owen isn't underneath the HC radar, even with a potential NCC rematch lurking

Owen has some really big boys. HC has alot of speed. Both teams like to spread the ball around. Their shouldn't be alot of secrets around each teams gameplans. Not sure Owen has seen this kind of speed from the teams they defeated on their schedule. Owen should have alot of confidence coming into the game being undefeated and playing at home. HC should feel good about getting to play an undefeated team. I like the storyline around this game, but not sure Owen will be able to contain HC's skill kids.

Can a poll be added to this please?

This is the best test for Owen Co this year. HC has played a much better schedule, which I think has prepared them well for this time of year. I think HC takes this one by 21.

Are you saying the Indians are less talented and have less determination than Owen?

Since Owen beat Lloyd earlier in the season and Lloyd beat Newport, do you think that means Owen should beat Newport easily? Remember, HC had a running clock againt Lloyd and Newport. Owen barely beat Lloyd even gaining 8 turnovers. I don't like to predict outcomes based on scores of common opponents, but if we did that here, HC should roll them dont you think?

Im gonna have to agree with you here Sarge. I hope to see a very competitive game, but I expect for Walton to win by 21

All of these questions will be answered tomorrow night. Then we can put this to rest. I expect them to be 11-0, but if they struggle then the doubters are correct. If they handle their business as you say they should, then they deserve more respect. Good Luck to both teams and just for you Sarge, good luck to your Bearcats

The Litkenhous ratings have Owen Co at 12th. Still not a top 10 team there either. Some of it has to do with Strength of Schedule. Undefeated is undefeated. No one can take that away from them, but if you haven't beaten anyone on any top 15 list in any class its hard to put them in the top 10 of their own Class

The winner will get NCC. I don't think either will challenge NCC, especially Lloyd. Walton runs the ball well so it could be a little more interesting, but I don't think either team can slow NCC down regardless of who is playing Qb for NCC

Which system of ranking teams is more accurate and why?

You are correct

Unfortunately at Dayton, this has become common for the kids to do this at the end of the season in recent years. Its a shame because I remember some really good Dayton teams. If Bellevue, Dayton, and Newport came together as one school, they would dominate imo. Since it will never happen, Bellevue will have some really good teams every 5yrs or so. Newport will have one every 10yrs. Dayton may not have another good team for a long time......like they used to and its not Coach Montgomery's fault either

Hahahahahaha. Thats good stuff.

I don't know if Holmes will even have enough kids on the bus to JC to field a team. Several kids have quit

Brandon was not on the 95 team. He graduated in 1993. The RB you saw in 1995 was good, but nowhere near a Brandon Berger. He was one of the best RB's to graduate from BW for sure, top 2 in my opinion. I think this is a very nice team this year, but not going to make the Top 5 BW teams of all time. I do not think this is the fastest or the most talented group in BW history either. It is certainly one of the fastest, but I don't know if I would call it the fastest. This won't even be a topic of conversation unless BW wins state. I know Mayfield has had BW's number, but I would take some of the teams that I saw come through BW in the 90's against any Mayfield team that I have seen. They have had some serious talent in recent years, but I don't remember much noise coming out of Mayfield in the 90's
