Lloyd's AD is also the basketball head coach, I think he has done a great job so far but I think eventually there is going to be a conflict of interest. I believe the AD's job is to make sure the best interests of all sports and the kids are being looked after, at some point those assesments are going to have to be made about the Lloyd basketball team, my concern is who is going to make them? Not alot of guys out there firing themselves!

This will be close, Lloyd needs to take away Newports speed and then try to pound the ball on offense. This will come down to big plays, I think Newport has big play capabilities and Lloyd doesn't. If Lloyd makes Newport work on offense then it will be a good night, I will take Lloyd by 1 or 2!

Stansbery is the best player on that team and possibly in the 9th. He does it all, can shot, run the floor, finish, and defend, he's my favorite player in the region. Hitchew is my number 2, he just plays so hard and is fun to watch.

I think you just summed it up for me too!

Good luck to him and I hope gets back soon, when he is healthy he is as dangerous as any running back in NKY!

I think this one could be closer than everyone thinks, Newport has some speed and size. I will say HC by 14 but its close until the end!

Walton wins this game! Seeing both teams in action Walton is much better team. They play hard nosed and exectute very well! I saw Owen in the first game so maybe they have gotten better, I cant say but I can only go off what I have seen. Walton by 2 TDs!

I have not seen Dixie play yet this year but I have heard that Their defensive line play has been much improved and that Brady Schatzman has been playing very well! I think this could be a close game, I love Seth Bruns too, I know hes been hurt but will he be at full stregnth Friday? Im going with BW by 3, 24 to 21!

Very well said!

Sounds like aptr has been to a few Lloyd games! I agree with almost everything you said except I believe a good coach was thrown under the bus but he is back this week! I still feel like we are talented enough to win this week, Lloyd by 2 TDs

I think you take 4 starters away from any team and it is worth mentioning, especially 3 that play both ways! There isn't one team in NKY that wouldn't feel the effects of such circumstances!

We need a win and I think this Friday we get back on track heading into NCC game. The kids on the field are playing hard, we will have almost everyone back in a week or two, they have to start playing better up front! Juggs by a at least 2 TDs this week! GO JUGGS!

Lloyd needs to get healthy and figure out a way to sure up the line play on both sides of the ball. As far as skill players go the Juggs can match up with just about every team in NKY. Lets hope we can get back to winning this week then see if we can knock off Newport in 3 weeks!

Lloyd still has alot of injury problems, they played Friday without 3 defensive starters and 2 offensive starters. They will need to play the same type of game this week, control the clock on offense and dont give up the big play on defense, the only problem is I think Holy Cross has much more "big play" possibilities than Gallatin Co. Its unfortunate that Lloyd will not have everyone available for this game but I still expect everyone to pick it up and the Juggs to play like they did this last Friday, Im looking forward to a good football game!

The first year of the tourney I think we opened with Holmes, the year they won state. Last year was the only good draw we've had.

The Lloyd ship is going in the wrong direction, even if there were no injuries this coaching staff is struggling! There is alot going on behind the curtains folks, I hope we can get everyone healthy by the end of the year and make a push, salvage some sort of season! This team needs to rally together quick! This is a big game for the Juggs and I think determine the tone for the rest of the year. A loss this week and things could could get real ugly in Erlanger! I'll be pulling for you guys Friday night, GO JUGGS!

Isn't it to early in the day for you to be posting?

Lloyd pounds the ball in this one. Asher and Kidd will do alot of damage. Lloyd's defense is very good, missing 2 starting linebackers last Friday hurt them, we get Dexter Smith back and a week to prepare. As far as offense goes, Asher was called for a questionable fumble after he was down and the coach pulls him for the rest of the game, he will be ready to go Friday with a chip on his shoulder, along with Kidd (#42) and Dexter Smith back Lloyd wins by 2 TDs! Go Juggs!

I love his posts, like someone said earlier I laugh before I even open them. I think there are times when he just tries to aggrivate the people on his threads but if you read closely there are times when he is just making his case. At the end of the day he just loves him some Simon Kenton, I think thats great! Why shouldn't he think his team is going to win every week? When is he back and who does Simon play this week? Whoever it is Im sure they will get a beatdown!! LOL

Not sure what went on at Bellvue last year but I couldn't be happier that he is at Lloyd this year!

Does Dale make a statement Thursday on behalf of his QB or is this just another "Blood-Bath"?

I read the Danville/Garrad thread and it sounds like they are an imporved team, not knowing much about them. I think it was hard to tell anything from the Dayton game, not taking away from Dayton but the Juggs started shuffling people in and out. I think this week you get a good look at Asher and Kidd in the backfield together. Tommy Michaloby (thats the best I can do with that name) broke 2 screens for long touchdowns, looked like a real threat! With him and Brooks at wide reciever, Smith has targets but this team is only as good as the line play on both sides, offense has to move bodies and defense has to make plays this week. Its hard to make a prediction when you dont know the opposing team so I'll just say if we do a better job of blocking up front this week, and Dillon Smith makes it back we win a close one. Go Juggs!

Thanks for reminding me how much I love that quote and injecting some perspective into high school sports.
