You sound like someone who might be part of a staff that lost to the raiders.

Hopefully the coaching staff will use your expert opinion and analysis when they implement their offense next season.

A continuous lack of discipline that led to an ejection his final game of the season.

Will it?

Sorry, Male has been contacted and is not interested either. If you think that will be the order of that district next year, you are sadly mistaken.

All three had open dates that coincided with Ryle and all three didn't want to play. What do you call it?

Really? Cov Cath, NCC, and Scott County all refused to schedule a game with Ryle next year. I wonder why they chose to play SK?:sssh:

I would say both. Off the top of my head, I would look at yards that are located further south and west.

Excellent question. I would say maybe you should get athletes from other yards.

Congrats to the young man on his first offer.

I would say that is a very one-sided view of circumstances. NO parent or group of PARENTS can have any influence on a program if it is to be sucessfull, whether they work bingo or not. From what I understand, work ethic and expectations have to be greatly increased in the Grant County community for their football program to become a sucess.

Very true.

An answer, no. If you read my post, I have not bad mouthed Highlands. I have refuted some statements of some people associated with their city and program. There is a difference. Once again, the original point was that they have a much larger draw than Ft. Thomas, which I think has been shown to be true. I wouldn't have bought up the Ruby issue if I had realized that it would be illegal. I don't have proof on that issue and was not trying to incinuate wrong doing. I was once again only refuting a statement from a Highlands poster that Highlands doesn't get kids from across the river.

I can't find an article, so I could be wrong about him helping other kids. Would it be illegal to help kids pay tuition to a public high school? Reguardless, I know for sure that there were other kids from Cincy on Highlands team around that time. I know that is not illegal. I bought it up because another poster tried to claim that Highlands never has kids from Cincy, not to claim Highlands was cheating. My argument had been that Highlands benefits from having a large area draw, which some Ft. Thomas posters seem to disagree with. Why I can't figure out.

So you have to have extensive documentation showing that something happened for it to have happened?

Is it illegal for him to fund his nephew's tuition? How about a couple of his budies?

I find it hilarious that this is considered fiction.

Everyone in the program knew that it happened. I would venture to say you know it happened. Is "do you have any proof" the best rebut you have?

I feel where you are coming from. However, I disagree. I think that schooling, and high school athletics, should be a function of a state for people that live in a state. I don't believe that a kid that lives in a surrounding state should be able to go to high school in our state, let alone compete in athletic competition. Its more of an opinion issue than anything. I think Ohio took the correct steps to intercede in what Faust was doing across the river. I would also say Covington Catholic fans feel the same way.

Once again, lets not confuse tuition with being from out of the area. However, I will give you some names that jump out at me. Lorenzen, Smith, Hamblin, Mitchell, the kid from Simon Kenton that was Mitchell's age, and for lack of academic prowess to recieve a scholarship Frisk. I am sure there are more, but I obviously don't know the history and situation of every athlete in their program.

First of all, I never said that Highlands was drawing kids from out of state. Funny you think I was even refering to Highlands when I was talking to LN. Since you mentioned it, however, there were a couple of kids out of Cincy earlier this decade who Ruby paid for their tuition, so don't try and act like it has never happened. I was talking about how I don't think out of state kids should be allowed to participate in KHSAA athletics, which was mostly centered toward Louisville privates who have Indiana players every year. BTW, the players that I refered to at the top were around 2001,2002, and 2003 and I don't know their names. Also, I will repeat that the out of state discussion is a rule issue, not a Highlands issue.

Call me crazy, but I think Kentucky High School athletic events should be for students who live in KY. Dont get me wrong, I don't think out of state students should be attending our schools either, but that will never change. So to answer your question, yes, I do think the KDE should ban out of state attendance. However, I don't think it would ever happen.

Once again, you estimate that someone having 150-200 more boys in their high school gives them that many football players, which is ridiculous. When a child comes to your school to play football, he is definately going to be a football player. To say that you don't normally have D1 athletes is equally ridiculous. Have you checked the list of D1 athletes that have attended Highlands in the last fifteen years? I would have to ask how many schools in this state do you think have had more?

Wow, you think? Have a nice day.
