I didn't think HHS could surprise anybody at this point!........lol!

Yup. Game over now.

You don't completely dominate a team the way NCC dominated OC and chalk it up to a "Bad Day" my friend. I'm by no means an NCC fan, but what they did was flat impressive. Play the game over 10 times and NCC wins by 4-5 TD's every time. The disparity in speed and physical play of NCC seems like the difference maker here.

Wildcat, the problem still remains the fact most of these leagues still tend to feature "winning" as the most important aspect of the game, rather than simply learning the games basics and becoming a "team" oriented player. It's a byproduct of the attitude that many of the coaches in the NKYFL have had for many years, and they are just now figuring out that it comes back to haunt them later on in the high school ranks.

That is almost verbatim what Sweeperboy said today when I paid him a visit. Sounds like CC has some excellent players that will present some challenges for the HHS defense.

I don't know that coach Herbst would leave to go back to his Alma Mater at this point. I know for a fact he was offered a VERY good job last year and stayed at Simon. He must like the whole package there or he could be at another big program right now if he wanted it. Lets just say that program is still practicing right now. That is how good the offer he turned down was.

I didn't say "Major Time" Hatz. I said playing time at a "Major D1 team". Big difference. ND may not be very good, but they are still a major program in college football as far as I know.

And was a two time All State player at two different positions, and that was as a Sophmore and Junior. Switched positions his SR. year and lead them to a State Title.

My thoughts exactly when I saw this score.

I do know that only one of the guys mentioned from last year are getting playing time on a major D1 team week in and week out. And that is AC at ND.

You wouldn't be the first person outside of NKY to think HHS was private. lol!

That is some great reading. I notice he didn't make a prediction on the game though. Funny, he seems to have great knowledge of the pro game, but not bold enough to predict a HS game in his own backyard. Interesting.

I think that would be a waste of a young coaching talent. He gets more talent at Holmes than he ever would at Boone, IMO. He should wait until one of the really big boys come calling, and they will.

I don't doubt that Ky_football, but I sure don't remember getting a million dollar donation at HHS to build a FOOTBALL FIELD anytime recently. We have some very generous donors, but nothing like that. We just watch our property tax bills skyrocket every year, and grin and bear it for the good of the schools. Congrats on your new facilties though. The kids deserve it.

T-BIRD, the dorms are right behind our bleachers. Unfortunately, we are going to have to tear them down when we get ready to expand David Cecil to accomodate some of our opponents wishes that we make our stadium more safe.......lol! Can't believe you've never seen them.

Dark, wet, cramped and smelly. Just like Home for HHS. If that is supposed to be imtimidating to HHS, you obviously have never been in the HHS locker rooms. We like it that way. Us against the world mentality is what makes the HHS engine go.

That's it, man that guy ended up being one heck of a LB at UK. 4th on the all time tackles list still I think. But, alas, we went into the dark time of HHS football in the mid 80's and finally came out in 89, thank god, and haven't looked back since.

I thought that 82 team was the first HHS team was the first from HHS to break the USA TODAY Super 25? I thought they were undefeated and had a pretty good QB (sorry can't remember his name!) and a real good speedy runnning back. (Bankemper Maybe?) Anybody on here remember the name of that guy that played QB? I was just a little guy back then, but I remember that team well, but not well enought I guess!

The students, faculty and staff at BCHS doesn't care enough about athletics, let alone football, anymore to get rid of coach Thompson. It will be business as usual next year in Florence. Most of the students don't even know who is on the schedule for the football team week in and week out, and they certainly don't attend games.

Not sure how to take that statement. What do you mean by that? Not to sound too dumb, but, isn't that would HHS would do if they were getting manhandled on the line?

Well played Ru.

The answer is ........................uh,......NO! The 5A Championship goes thru the Bluebirds this year, just as it has every year since there has been a 5A class. Come on Ru, I know you like to stir the Birds Nest up, but that is just a rediculous question.

Thanks for remembering me T-Bird!

Duh Raiderbird, that's called ambiance at the Birdome, to use more Coach Shields vernacular! It's also what makes HHS a "unique" place to play. I think most HS facilities suck to watch a game at because of the lack of tradition, history, etc. But I think your probably agree.

Exactly, and as far as being able to get that talent, let us not forget about open enrollment in Kenton Co. And I don't even want to hear about SK taking talent away from Dixie because SK's success is a recent development. Besides Kenton co. is a huge county population wise. The key being that Dixie does not develop their talent once they get to the HS level as much as they could. Much of that is due to the off season program and lack of two a day practices that most teams, even poor teams, participate in here is NKY, and most everywhere else in the State.
