Rumors abound and of course vary depending on the source...., overall it sounds like there were infractions/inappropriate behavior and an alleged attempt to cover it up.

It was an exciting season to say the least for the Camels! As for someone who bleeds purple, I'm looking forward to how Coach Lickert will continue to build the Campbell program. I'm not a football technician, so I'm not going to even try to comment on the subtle nuances of calling one play versus another, or one form of offense/defense versus another another throughout the season. But I can tell you that Coach Lickert is a leader. It took some time but the players began trusting him and woe to the parent or fan who said a word against Coach by mid season! Congrats Coach and again, Welcome to Campbell County!

Just wanted to point out I noted that the Tates Creek team captains at the beginning of the game took time to stop and talk to the Camels honory team captain, a Campbell County elementary student now in a wheelchair after an accident this spring. Very classy Tates Creek team captains! Props to you.

The Camels will have several walking wounded players, as well as one starter who will not be playing at all due to a broken arm. (But at the end of the season, I'm guessing most teams have more or less the same experience with injuries.) Sticking with my Camels by a touchdown!

Voice of Reason is correct. Since there are 5 NKY 6A schools and a other districts have only 3 our 5th place finisher goes on the other side of the bracket from the other NKY schools. So while Boone, Ryle, Campbell and Dixie have a chance of seeing each other as early as round 2, the only way SK will see a NKY team is if SK and one of the other 4 make the championship game. My guess is the odds are better you'll win the Powerball.

:sssh: Looks like a tough two weeks for SK between Scott County and then Trinity. Wish them well!

Congrats to the Polar Bears!

Not a pretty sight tonight.

Wow that tuba was heavy!

Come on give fastball21 a break. As a Camel fan I think the explanation of the earlier comment is fine and he is right afterall Campbell County winning the district is huge but they still have quite a road to travel to get to the state championship game. Do I think it's possible....after this season anything is possible but we all have to take it one game at a time in the playoffs. We do have a few injuries after the Ryle game although until the docs see a couple of the boys on Monday we won't know if anyone hast to sit out a game or two. I don't think any of them were season ending injuries but there was a lot of ice and ibuprofren (spelling?) going out at the post game get together! And I want to say thanks to the Raider Nation for being such good hosts at the game.

JJ Jude is a beast! He's currently ranked #1 in the 182lb weight class for the 2011 - 2012 wrestling season. Good luck with the rushing record!

The celebration was a little excessive? What are you talking about? Did they pull the goal posts down and I missed it? The majority of their celebration took place off the field on the track in front of the visitor bleachers not on the Ryle field. So Campbell distanced themselves from Ryle who remained on the field. By moving the Camels on to the track, Coach L gave the Ryle players a little breathing room so they weren't just 30 yards away listening to his victory speech to his players. I also didn't hear any disparaging cheers from the boys against Ryle. After that I mainly heard them singing the school fight song (although they really don't know all the words....LOL...they just keep singing the parts they know over and over.)

As I was reading down the posts, tdyballgame beat me to posting my thoughts. Highlands knows they are going to dominate big time in these games so it makes sense to me that at times the coaching staff uses the game as a laboratory to try some things out.

Did a closed book just get slammed open? Proud of those Camel boys. Even after some mistakes they kept on fighting.

Sounds like an exciting game!

Congrats Camels! It was an incredible game! Dixie's quarterback threw some impressive passes but it just wasn't enough. James Popp had impressive yardage tonight thanks to the Campbell O-line.

Good job Doug!

A couple of things to consider. The current senior class had only one loss as freshman and that was to Highlands in a very close game. Many in this current senior class started playing varisty football as freshman and sophomores. Many in the current senior class have played both sides of the ball up until this year. There are a few seniors who are getting very little if any playtime. So I don't believe they are losing because Coach is only playing seniors. I believe not using some of the seniors to their maximum position because of the '2 platoon' program is a contributing factor. I'm all for the one position, one side of the ball strategy after seeing the dog I have in the fight so exhausted after playing both sides of the ball all night his junior year. But how do the coaches keep those seniors motivated this year? They know, and rightly so, that Coach L can't be held too responsible for the outcome this year and even next. They are starting to believe their senior year is being sacrificed for the good of the program's future. While from a tactical standpoint it makes sense, from a 17 year-old's perspective who's given his all every year it's very discouraging.
