Mr. Sixer

Originally I thought SC would pull away but in the actual case they hung on. If SC scores just before half instead of muffing the snap at the Highlands 1 yard line they probably would have pulled away IMO.

Lol, that’s cute ? Actually not the greatest at movies but I did see both teams in person so I got a pretty good look at the “previews”.

Game went exactly as I stated it would. Highlands would keep it close but SC would pull away or hold on for the win. Someone asked if SC had a bruising fullback? Well that was clearly answered as Highlands simply could not stop Fryman from getting 4+ yards a carry. I would love to know how many yards he ended up with. Credit to SC as they passed the ball when nearly everyone thought they’d be running it and defensively they just bent but didn’t break and their front 3 just disrupted any consistent running game by the birds. Congratulations to both teams.

Well said on the strategy point. You cannot simulate what they do with an ordinary scout team. In reference to your quesiton on parking, I would give yourself a minimum of 1.5 hours. Parking is always a nightmare as the nearly all of Ft. Thomas will be there.

It’s ok but not sure how Cooper’s Yamil Rondon doesn’t make any mention whatsoever. His play will speak for itself. Cooper will be a force for with the addition of Pouncy. it will all shake itself out in the end. The 9th will be a very competitive.

To answer your question absolutely. The fullback is a bruiser. The passing game shouldn’t fear anyone because that’s not what they do. Just a very tough offense to find the ball.

Highlands will have difficulty stopping let alone containing the Cardinal offense. Yes it’s a Wing-T offense but what makes it EXTREMELY DIFFICULT is the players that are not getting the ball carry out their fakes to PERFECTION….FULL SPEED and by the time the ball is found you’ve been gashed. They’ll run the ball 20 plays in a row and you’ll think play 21 will be the same as they run those fakes, lulling you to sleep and then they’ll hit you over the top with a pass. It’s not traditional and no one in NKY runs anything remotely close to it which makes it tough to game plan let alone simulate in preparation. For those who have not seen this run in person you will see how difficult it is to find the ball. Defensively the front 3 are absolute beasts and the secondary plays not to get beat deep so it’s kind of a bend but not break defense, but again, the front 3 cause havoc. I expect Highlands to be competitive but ultimately I see Scott Co. pulling away. Just my opinion after seeing both teams play in person.

You might want to do your homework before making such posts. The Cooper program and it's coaching staff is just fine and clearly headed in the right direction.

EXACTLY! Some people just don't have a clue...

The dead period is good for everyone, players, coaches and families. Most programs begin in January with strength and conditioning then spring ball so that’s nearly 5 months straight. That 3-4 weeks off is like gold for everyone to re-charge not only physically but more important mentally because burnout is real. Everyone needs to get away from everyone, players can work out on their own and the families of not only the players but the coaches can realize that much needed connection time. July will be here before you know it and the energy levels for all will be up because the grind is real and it’s long season.

Cooper DE/TE Austin Alexander (2025) will be a significant factor for the Jaguars. Austin just picked up his first P5 offer from Maryland this week.

Congratulations to Austin who picked up his first P5 offer yesterday from the University of Maryland. I’m sure there will be more to come for this 2025 Jaguar.

Would not be surprised on bit if he lands at UC. I believe dad is a UC grad who played baseball there if I am not mistaken.

Excellent hire! Eric, Jr. is an alum of Scott and has done an exceptional job as director/coach of the NKY Tarheels/KY Select AAU program for several years so this is great to see him get an opportunity at his former high school! Best of luck Coach Pouncy!!

That is one heck of an idea IMO! Why not?!!

Being born and raised in Columbus I can say this is HUGE for Buckeye Nation! Sean will be a big addition to help make up for the scoring lost by Liddell and Branham. Been a long time since the Bucks have had a pure shooter like Sean and I’m hoping he helps get them another BIG championship and deeper run in the tourney!! Good luck Sean! O-H-I-O Go Bucks!!

Per his Twitter, Sean has committed to THE Ohio State Buckeyes!! Congrats to Sean and continued success for his final year of college basketball!

Too funny. Never said a word about Hugs not being able to coach. You obviously have some other bone to pick, so have that debate with yourself. I know what I know in detail and as I said, Sean will be just fine at whatever school he decides to choose.

Shooting the 3 is his game but when it is an afterthought in the offense he was playing at WV it wasn't beneficial. If you watched enough of WV basketball this season, especially during the 13 game losing streak, you saw the ball be placed in Taz Sherman's hands and everyone else get out of the way or go get his rebounds. Doesn't matter at this point, IMO he'll be in a much better situation with some structured offense regardless of where he lands.

Yes it is an impressive list and IMO will utilize his skillsets much better than WV did.

No dog in the fight whatsoever but at the end of the day, does it really matter why he left? The young man is gone, he will be fine, CCH will be fine, leave it at that. The 9th is going to be competitive next season regardless if the young man was there or not. There are several good teams that will be vying to take this region next year.

Just my opinion but I don’t think Oscar returns next year. No reason to not head to the NBA.

Sean is not a bench player and his opportunities will be much greater at other, and some will argue, better programs given the current state in Lexington. He’s proven himself and played against some of the best players in the country and more than held his own. He’ll land solidly no doubt.

In addition to WVU, Sean had offers from Texas Tech, Ole Miss, WKU and Dayton coming out of Sinclair. I simply brought UK from the standpoint of him loving the school growing up, it's irrelevant at this point. The young man is creating his own path and writing his own story which is truly remarkable. And yes, he will have excellent opportunities for him to capitalize in both areas.

Good luck to Ellis. Those young men at Fern Creek better pack their lunch for some serious brutally honest coaching!
