Holmes had 384 yards rushing between three players. This game was close for about three and a half quarters. Holmes score keeper said it’s the first time he can remember 3 players rushing for over a hundred yards in one game, and he has kept book for a very long time.

Hope to get some stats tomorrow on this game, I believe Scott had over 300 yards passing, Holmes had well over 300 rushing. As a Holmes fan, very glad this game didn’t come down to a field goal, was watching Scott’s kicker in warm ups and the young man was drilling them from 40 yards out. I know Scott had one pass play for 95 yards for a score. Proud of this group at Holmes, we thought this senior group should be pretty good. Home game for sure in the first round of play offs, just not sure who yet. Rumer is there is a possibility Holmes will be moving to 3A next year. Good luck to Scott, Holmes has senior night next week against Bellevue and end the regular season at Newport Catholic.

50 to 25, final, Holmes goes undefeated in district play.

50 to 25, Six minutes left, was just told Holmes has three rushers with 100 yards.

Holmes 44, Scott 25, late third.

36 to 25, a 28 yrd field goal by Scott.

36 to 22 Holmes , 4 minutes left in the 3rd.

Halftime in Covington after a 45 minute lighting delay, Holmes 28, Scott 14. Scott went up 14 to 0 early.

Nice road win for Holmes, the new Boyd County stadium has to be one of the nicest high school facilities in Ky, nice folks and beautiful place to watch a game. It is a haul from Covington, some of these districts are hard to figure out. On to the game, Boyd County is so much improved from last year, they got off to a tuff start, fumbled the opening kick off, which a few plays later Holmes scores a td, then on the next series, on about the third play, they fumble again, Holmes up 14 to 0 early, but once things settled in, Boyd County was moving the ball and scored to make a halftime score of 14 to 7, in the third quarter Holmes blocked a punt around the 18 yard line and eventually scores to make the score 20 to 7. In the 4 th, Boyd scores to make it a 20 to 15 game. A late score on a nice 40 to 50 yard run seals the game for Holmes. Unofficially T. Calloway had 66 yds and Q. Calloway a 103, good luck to Boyd, onto Cynthania next week for Holmes for another road district game.

Final from Covington, two pretty evenly matched teams, huge district win for Holmes, number 26 for Rowan County is very good, Holmes with just a little more over all speed with the Calloways and Hall, on to Boyd County next week for Holmes for another district match up, good luck to Rowan, very solid team.

Calloway with a 89 yard punt return for a touch down to take a 6 to 0 lead after one. The Cougars respond to start the 2nd quarter on a 3 yard td run to take a 7 to 6 lead, early 2nd qt.

Very good job, thank you for the rankings. Let’s play some football.

This has the potential to be the best team Coach Nevels has had, they return most of the line and the Calloways are tremendous athletes, I just hope they can get the season in, not an easy team to open with, Louisville Holy Cross seems to always be very competitive.

100 per cent agree with this, as a High School coach that coaches a spring sport, we have already lost one season, sure would hate for the athletes to have to choose a sport, it just would not work at the smaller schools. Unfortunately this is starting to sound like what happened in the spring, we was canceled for two weeks, then a month, until it was finally just canceled. I hope that the schools at least get a chance to try and play this year.

A lot of Ky basketball players are playing aau in Indiana and Ohio and have not heard of any issues. Also a lot of the Northern Ky umpires have been umping in Ohio for over a month, none have become ill that I am aware of, time to move on.

Outstanding article, thank you, what a nice family, got to know Doug and Mark, not sure I missed many of Dougs games. Coach Flynn still has that no call picture in a frame that the Ky post gave him.

I also take 40 mg a day for about ten years and didn’t know coughing was a side affect, I guess I been fortunate that I have had no side effects from it, have blood work every six months as well.

It’s just not going to happen, first I will say I have not always worn a mask, but when I walk In a business that has a sign to wear a mask I do, I was just in a speedway in Florence, 7 customers, 2 people had mask on, me and a elderly lady, heck one of the workers didn’t have it on, and one guy even looked at me like I was going to say something to him, they even have a sign saying mask is required, there is just no way to inforce it, and I’ll admit I have been anti mask, but when a business ask you to wear them a customer should respect that.

I also enjoy them, some you only see at a funeral or a reunion, I'll take the reunion every time, also look forward to going to blue licks state park.

Awesome post Coach, I agree with your thoughts on so many levels. I coach a high school spring sport, 3 days from first pitch our season ended, I agree that coaching is so much more than the x and o and even wins and losses, every coach wants to win, but there is so much more, I missed the ball field and the travel, but most I missed the athletes and making sure they keep up with grades and life in general, as a coach you invest so much time in their lives and I missed that, I get it this spring and understand why things was canceled, but I agree it’s time to move on, let’s hope the players, coaches and everyone involved stays safe and well and have a full schedule. Thanks for your thoughts, I couldn’t agree more.

I would think another issue would be busses, you would be putting lots of folks together in a very confined space with older coaches and bus drivers.

Congrats.

This should be Coach Nevels' best team at Holmes, the Calloways will be seniors and Holmes came on strong last year and I believe only lost 3 starters, looking for an exciting year in Covington.

Wondering that also, I have a Brittany Spaniel, was thinking about they are some sort of Spaniel, love the pic.

It’s a shame, we all kind of figured there would be spring sports. Just hope all coaches and players stay healthy at this point.
