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.

Currently have a student at WKU and we attend a couple of games a year. Looking forward to seeing Travis Elliott as a Hilltopper!

As the newspaper medium continues to die, I'm guessing the editors believe coverage of Ohio stories is better life support.

Enjoy your win Polar Bears!

Last Friday night, while standing during the National Anthem and looking across the stands and the football field, I thought about this scene being played out across the country at high school football fields everywhere. The football players, cheerleaders and marching band students who have given up their free time all week to work toward a common goal. The parents volunteering to take tickets, work the concessions stands and the chain gang. What a great event! Then this week, scanning through the threads showing score recaps with very large margins and discussions on already closing the book on some teams, a quote I read a long time ago came to mind. I looked it up and here it is. So I offer this to every young man (and a few young ladies according to a recent post) who, win or lose, are out there 'in the arena'. And I encourage all posters that before you criticize, ask yourself if you are one of those 'cold and timid souls who neither know victory or defeat'. The Man In the Arena Theodore Roosevelt 26th President of the United States Excerpt from Speech at the Sorbonne Paris, France April 23, 1910 It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

Yes. Individual wrestlers receive points not just for their win but how they win. Lesser points are given for a minor decision, more for a major decision (I think its a win by 7 points or more) with the most points for a pin. The team part of team wrestling comes in when a wrestler may have little chance of winning but his objective is to minimize the points scored by his opponent.

The team met with Coach Lickert yesterday. I understand it was a very positive meeting and the boys were impressed. Looking forward to an exciting 2011 season!

The Ryle Raider Rumble is Saturday December 11, 2010. There are several state championship match-up previews that are likely to happen. Plus powerhouse Grundy, West Virginia and several Ohio and Indianna teams will be there. See http://www.kentuckywrestling.com/smf/index.php?topic=8343.0 for more information.

A game to remember! Come on Camels! It was Ryle 35 to CCHS 30 in regular season play. So let's be the Cinderella/Underdog team of the 2010 playoff season and win!

Glad to see there was no repeat of the 'Benchclearing Brawl of 2009'! Both teams seemed to be on their best behavior and the referee's did a great job. Hope it holds true next week in Lexington.

Six is correct. One of the six may be back for the playoff game next week.

A couple of injuries from the SK game may hurt Campbell.
