JOHNDUNHOFT

This is nothing new as I said in the state polls. NKY always get left off the courier journal rag all the time. This is not new happened in the 60's when Highlands had all the good teams and very few made it. Along with the 65 Lloyd State Champions. I was coaching and scouting since 1983 and nothing has changed. NKY could win every State Championship and get slighted. There is Louisville, Lexington and the rest of the State. I am done complaining and agree with what everyone before me has said. We know here in NKY what we have to offer. JD

Is this a State wide award or area award? JD

I read this thread every year and want to congratulate all who made this pretigious nomination. Northern Kentucky never gets the love from around the state. Like Mayfield sportsfan said he was happy to get an opportunity to watch Max Nussbaum from Beechwood play. I myself loved this young man I also was empressed by Jonathan Jackson of Mayfield whom I watched several times live an on film. What a player WOW. There are always players that will not get mentioned and picked. This is what all star teams are about. If they go out and play they are all ALL STARS to me for taking the extra time to participate. For the individuals that get to pick these players I feel for also because how could anyone get around to see all of these young men player during a season. It is tough here in N. KY. to pick the first and second teams from all of our own players. Sorry just rambling on this early Christmas morning. Again Congrats to all the young men who made these teams. JD

It reminds me of when Lloyd held the Famous Recipe Classic in the 80's what a field from all over the state and it just went away. Wish everyone best of luck in the tourney will try to make it up for a few games on Saturday morning. Thanks everyone for the information. JD

I know Lloyd has a tournament coming up does anyone have any site I can go to, to get times and who is playing. Thanks. JD

Congrats to Coach Eviston and best of luck at Georgetown. NewCath will survive and make a good choice I wish them the best. JD

Leatherneck did you play with him or was he before your time. I played him my freshmen year and we could not tackle or catch him. We only scrimmage them 2 more times until I graduated in 1970. JD

It is hard to pick the best now if you broke it down who was the best running back from Highlands in the 50's, 60', 70's etc., I played againts one Nelson Red in the late 60's and he was a tough one and fast. I would have to vote other because there has been so many good backs as well as teams at Ft Thomas. JD

Ole Ryle Raider, I played for all those coaches and they were great teachers also. I have and always will respect them. They kept me on the right side of the tracks when I was younger. JD

He Roy Jr was at Beechwood, Simon Kenton, Newport, Lloyd, Campbell and now SK again. I also think he may have coached down in Ashland area with his father also. JD

Easy way to solve this is since they have 6 classes of football lets have a Mr. Kentucky in each class. Myself I have seen Jackson in person, my dreams and a hugh headache in Class A football. For Quick I have only seen him on film that I got from other schools that played him. I was told by a Ryle coach back when Quick first played for Trinity he was the best WR he has ever seen play. I turned and told him you have not seen Jackson from Mayfield. We say don't compare score's etc., however looking at strenght of schedule neither Trinity nor Mayfield play a cup cake schedule. I wished they both could get it and I wish them both best of luck.JD

Dan Goble from WKy coached with Roy Lucas Sr at Lloyd Memorial High School in the late 60's I played for both and they are great coaches and teachers and I will always remember the two of them. JD

Congrats to BG on their State Championship. Cooper High School be proud of what you did this year, Congratulations to Coach Borchers, Asst Coaches, players, cheerleaders and the Cooper Nation on a great year. I know my brother in law Randy (Coop Dog) Cooper would be proud. You all set an accomplishment that many new schools do not attain in such a short time. Be proud especially you seniors a mark that does not come easy. Again CONGRATS COOPER HIGH SCHOOL. JD

Congrats NCC coaches,players,cheerleaders and fans great seaon and State Championship what a way to spend a Saturday afternoon following birdsfan on BGP and then seeing NCC won. Congrats NKY High School Football now Cooper bring aother one home this afternoon.. JD

Congrats to toothpick, mayfieldfan, coaches,players and fans. For the past 3 year's I have always wondered how anyone could stop JJackson and now when that young man is healthy forget it. Again Congrats on a State Title to Mayfield well deserved. JD

My good friend coaches at Raceland and he was texting me the scores in this game last night and told me that Fairview has 4 backs and they are very hard running backs and bruising like Jonathan Jackson. I was shocked at the final score and think this will be another classic in Bowling Green, good luck to both team's. JD

Congrats to the Cooper coaches, players, cheerleaders and fans what a great year to be having in only their 5th season as a football team. When I first went to Cooper is when the school was dedicated to Randy Cooper my brother in law. They did a first class act then and I only new in time they would reap the benefits of this new school. Congrats and I know Randy Coop Dog Cooper would be proud if he was with us today. Good luck next week and WIN STATE!!!!!!!!! JD

Toothpick, Mayfield fan and all the rest take your time and have a nice and safe trip to NKY and good luck to both teams. This is going to be another classic to 1A football in the state of Kentucky. Like VOR said be sure to bring warm clothing as a big shift in weather from a great week in the mid 60's. JD

As Lawnboy13 said at this time of year it is NKY against the State. I am wishing for four State Titles this year for an early Christmas present to all Northern Kentucky Football Fans. Good luck Highlands, Cooper, NCC and Beechwood. JD

Good luck to the BW coaches, players, cheerleaders and fans get after Mayfield and head to Bowling Green next week. By the way Mayfield have a safe trip up as the weather is going to be nice. JD

Congrats to the BW coaches, players and fans great win and good luck next week against Mayfield should be good match up. Congrats to Frankfort on a great football season. JD

Looks like Mayfield will be traveling to Beechwood next week. Have a safe trip. JD

CoachBuckett you said a mouth full here and I agree with you get better and shut up. Your freshmen and sophomore's want to play also and not just go in to say I stepped on the field. They work hard and should play hard. I don't mean run fake punts, pass and on side kick's when a team is down. Thanks for the enlightenment. JD

For the past four year's I have scouted Frankfort and came back with this statement " I hope we will be ready and to strap on the gear cause Frankfort is for real" I have been surprised everytime I saw them play and impressed by how hard they faught. I beleive this QB will be tough to stop he was last year as a junior. I agree with VOR we are always in a dog fight the first half and seems we just pile it on in the 2nd half. This will be a good game and both teams will be ready. Good luck BW Tigers. JD

I thought the same last year when HC came to town and the tide turned and HC beat NewCath in a close one. I feel Walton Verona will keep it close however NewCath will win in the end as long as they control tempo and the ball. I like NewCath in this one. JD
