Congrats to the NCC Breds! EXCELLENT performance!

GO BREDS!

This HHS grad is also rooting for a NKY "daily double" ! Go Birds! Go Breds!

How fortunate for Christian County. They get to face a mediocre Highlands team. But then again, we saw how they did in '08 against "the worst o-line ever".

Is Dale Mueller then Jerry Jones?

Hwy warrior...once again,,,THANKS for the updates!

Are the Highlands internet radio guys doing the game?

New Head coach Kevin Siple?

PARTY AT HENRY'S!!!!!! j/k but I do want know................ WHO YA' ROOTIN' FOR?

How many of his recievers return? It seemed they had an uncanny knack of being able to bail Pike out when he was in trouble.

Great article on a great kid from a great family! Watch out for "Froggy" (lil' bro) next year!

Steve Fields from Newport has to be in the conversation somewhere. Maybe Jeff "the Toe" Bathiany from HHS...nearly made the olympic team as a decathalete.

Maybe Matney got on here and read all the hype on being "one dimensional" and "can't win with smash-mouth football only". I only remember one pass...it opened the game and was completed to Bardo(?).

How many are FB players? Are they practicing hoops and then dressing out FB on Friday?

LN...Does JC run any overbalanced line sets? I seem to remember them running overbalance line right, and then coming left out of a full house backfield. It sufficiently outmanned us at the point of attack and really put pessure on the OLB/CB. It gave us fits in '08.

Whoa, Cowboys! Commenting on a play...NOT a person. And this IS a site to have an opinion, isn't it? Didn't see the hit on #5 so I can't comment on it one way or another. Guess I wasn't watching "off the ball". What happens in the upper leagues filters down to the lower one's. If they are "legislating" certain type hits out of the game, it won't be long before the HS level follows suit. Just glad BOTH boys weren't hurt. Here's something we CAN agree on: Go Birds!!! 20n10!!! I apologize if I have offended anyone...it wasn't intentional, for sure.

Just to throw a little salt in some wounds down south...here's a couple shots from our last visit... (1) with less than a minute to go in the 3rd quarter, HHS clinging to a 21-14 lead. JC methodically drives deep into the HHS redzone until Sr. DE Kody "Rosie" Rosenhagen picks the pocket of the ball carrier and "rumbles" the length of the field for the score that would effectively "seal the deal". Escorted by fellow Sr. DE Adam Dempsey. (2) HHS fans at JC '08

I really liked Dixie's passing game. I thought they kind of took their foot off the pedal coming out of halftime. They had the Birds reeling and were getting the ball first. HHS D stepped up and forced a 3 and out, HHS scored on the ensuing drive and Dixie began to "doubt". Birds never did stop the man in motion reciever and Dixie recievers looked to have a 3 yard bubble to catch in all over the field. Might have been a different outcome if Dixie completes the "down the middle bomb" in the first quarter. Highlands showed great resolve and the difference in the game is that Highlands kids expect to win...no matter the situation. It's similar to UC's mantra "Next Man IN!" The coaches train the "understudies" to be winners at the Frosh-JV level so they can contribute when needed at the Varsity level. As for the conduct on the field...I blame the coaches. Let me go "old school" here for a moment. Personal fouls (player control) cannot be accepted! Coaches HAVE to pull the offender immediately. My old ball coach did this...and met you at the numbers to explain, in no uncertain terms, that this type behavior would NOT be tolerated. And your playing time WAS affected. The hit late in the game on Dixie reciever #15 was, IMO, unnecessary and would have been $$$ fine in the league. Game was in hand, clock was dwindling out the final seconds, reciever was "defenseless"...and the defender could have possibly incurred injury himself...wasn't worth the risk at that point in the game. I expected better. "Moose" McCoy should have been more frequently on the field somewhere this year. Too good of an athlete to stand around on Friday.

Jimmy Lokesak of Ludlow was a pretty fair back. Went on to play at UK. I'm surprised Ludlow didn't rename the city after him! LOL!

Awww...that ain't right! Funny....but it ain't right!

Seems like a certain FB game from 1975 keeps rearing its ugly head on this site...........LOLOLOL!!

Along with the black jerseys and black under armour sleeves, it DOES make it difficult to pick up who has the ball in their option style offense. Good luck to the crew announcing the game...hope you have "young eyes" for spotters! Go Colonels! (I can't believe I posted THAT! LOL!)

Both are great QB's and leaders for their teams. I hope BOTH have outstanding games...but Ryle will win this one.

Jeff McMahon, NKPOY in 1975, was an unbelievable player and leader. I used him as a "talking point" for years in the FTJFL. Jeff was way down the depth chart as a freshman. He loved the game and his teammates, worked hard and MADE himself into a great player. He was a shining example of why if you believe it, you can be it!

...or the 915...and they serve adult beverages!
