Congrats to the Beechwood coaching staff and players for their Championship also to Ryle for a tremendous season. JD

Sarge you miss understood me I said neither Lloyd or WV played a schedule like Cooper and for strength of schedule my nod would go to Borcher's at Cooper. I am sorry if I cam accross that Lloyd had as tough or tougher schedule. Not what I was intending to say sorry if I confused anyone. Lloyd had a nice schedule they could play with these teams and some they could not. Lloyd is only in 2nd year of rebounding from a 17 player team 3 years ago. JD

Sarge since the Lloyd game Walton has a new QB and is throwing the ball more from what I have heard. If this is so then with WV run and passing game will give Lloyd fits in the playoff's at WV. Lloyd however, did pull the upset last year and won a close one at WV this will be a good game however, wish them both the best of luck in first rounds and no one get hurt. JD

Both Lloyd and WV had similar schedule's and if played the same schedule Cooper played would not be as impressive. My vote would go to Borchers or Trosper at this point due to strength of schedule. I like what Barth has done at WV and wish him well and they look good for the future as does Lloyd. JD

What has happen to Russell's program in the day it seemed liked they had good team's and a great following. We played them at Lloyd one year in the playoff's and thought the whole town closed up and came to Erlanger. Can't make the trip this year just went back to work and may have to go in on Saturday. Thanks for the offer Ram. JD

Lawnboy 13 I love that one about the Bengals thanks for a good laugh this morning. JD

I used to come down to this game back in the day when I scouted for Lloyd and Russell was in our District in AA. What a great place to watch a football game and they Russell always took care of me and Smitty and put us in the press box. Since Smitty and I were good friends of Randy (Coop Dog) Cooper everyone took care of us and alwas wished a safe trip home. Both Russell and Raceland took care of us and I thank them for that. Especially when you travel 4 hour's to scout a football game. Hate to see this rivalry end. Go Rams as always from your Erlanger connection. JD

Both teams have played same opponent's and not much difference in the final score's. This will be another dog fight and both team's are playing for pride. I look for both no matter the outcome to go far into the playoff's. Good Luck to both and may it go injury free this year. JD

Congrats Chiefsmoke and players. JD

Congrats Raceland Rams keep the ship going and good luck in the playoff's. JD

Congrats to Dixie on a big win in District play. Now as far as sad state in Union for Ryle they may have a setback in 2012 however, have you see the kids that are on their way up to play varsity. If not go watch the Beechwood vs Ryle freshmen championship at Beechwood today. JD

Mike Burns Funeral arragement are for Wednesday October 24 at the Immaculate Heart of Mary Church, Anderson Township in Cinncinnati. Visitation from 9 - 10 a.m and funeral service at 10 a.m. at the Church. They had a moment of silence at the Lloyd vs Newport game Friday night at Lloyd. JD

I left at the in the 3rd and Newport 13 and Lloyd 12. Slippery field and both team's were making mistakes. Jugg's seem to fall behind early and come out of it in the end with a flurry of score's, oh except the NC game. JD

Newport up 13 to 12 at the half and Lloyd comes back to win 30 to 13 on senior night at Lloyd. Newport again only had about 22 kid's dressed for the game. This was sad and the kid's that were there played with alot of heart. JD

Walton by as many as they want running clock second half. JD

There is a reason why NewCath plays uper level football during non district games, they have a very good team and should go far in the playoff's this year. Best 5 - 4 team I have seened in a long time. JD

Yes Coach Burns finished his last five years at Highlands with Red Dog, only thing I know is he had a long fight with Parkinsons Decease. If I am not mistaken he also coached at CovCath in his early days. Yes he was a great hitter and could put the ball anywhere he wanted. JD

I think NewCath has found their way and is now headed in the right direction. This team may have started out slow however, is now clicking on all cylindars. As doe Hc I hope they will continue to improve as they have a lot of good palyer's down the road. I wish both teams the best in the playoff's. JD

Coach Mike Burns former football coach for Erlanger Lloyd passed away this evening, a great football coach, teacher, father, softball player and friend to the Erlanger Community. He will be deeply missed. He was a coach on the 1976 Lloyd Juggernauts State Championship Football Team. May God Bless the Burns family. JD

I have seen both team's play and I would favor in NewCath to win, however, I also thought the same in the playoff between HC and NC last year. These two team's will be up for each other and provide a good first half. I just feel that NC will ware HC down and beat them in the 3rd and 4th quarters. As for Lloyd wow they have had a good year and at 6 - 2 Erlanger is proud. NewCath has made the turn and heading in the right direction. JD

Toothpick and the whole Mayfield family, I am sorry this happened however we are all happy no one got hurt. Fence's and scoreboards can be replaced not people. I saw this on our news on Sunday morning. My prayer's go out to the Mayfield family. JD

Congrats to Katie and I know her uncle Randy Cooper (Coop Dog) would be very proud of her and is looking down on her. Congrats again Katie. JD

I played at Campbell, Newport, Bellvue and Dayton when I was at Lloyd many a moon ago. I liked them all and as a former scout I loved to watch games from these venue's and they will be missed. I wish Campbell County the best in the future and this will also be a nice place. As for Bob Miller he was a Head Football Coach at Campbell County in the late 60's when I played and I think was AD later down the road. I really liked him and got along with him. JD

Rams good luck and get back on track, beat Paintsville. JD

This is not the Nick Rice I have known. He may have went to the teacher's to asked if the kid could do extra work can he bring his grade up. I don't think he would asked a teacher to change a grade so the kid could play. I agree where are the parent's it is always easier to pass the buck than take responsibility. JD
