Not sure about any NKY football team, but you are right that CovCath will have to play a very good game in order to win. I never said anything to the contrary. But this year's LaSalle team from what I'm told is not near the level of Cincy X, Moe, Elder or Colerain. Last year, yes. This year, no.

I thought I read somewhere that LaSalle lost almost every starter on O and this year's senior class is down. So there aren't a bunch of stud seniors to step into and fill the shoes of the starters that graduated. I realize it's a GCL team, but only sort of in my opinion. It's one of the smallest D-1 schools in Ohio and with the exception of some rare years, generally isn't in contention to beat the likes of X, Elder or Moe.

 

I think CovCath has a great chance of winning. Game's in PH, correct? If so, CovCath should probably be the favorite.

 

Go CovCath. Beat those buckeyes!

Both good teams and ashame they dont play in regular season. I would love to see that game! Which team has more good to great players on it and I would say CovCath. We know Travis is great but who else do they have that would be on All Northern Kentucky 1st Team. I know CovCath has many more good to great players and deserves some respect.

I offer my apologies. I am not trying to start anything. I am just offering my opinion and that is that I did not see a well coached effort from the Camels last night. After what I read about the whole coaching issue in Campbell county last year. I just can't see too many people pleased with what they saw last night. I do hope that Lickert turns things around for CCH. I 've met more than a few of their kids over the years and they are, to a man, very good kids. The Camel fans are some of the most accommodating I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. All that said, I still don't back off the statement I made. There were coaching errors made in Purple last night.

Most of us in the stands have never lost a game! first game the man has coached with this group of kids and coaching errors?

I think it will be determined in the trenches. Whoever has the healthier line when they meet will have the advantage. Bir is very impressive and with time can pick you apart. Highlands has owned the series recently so they have that as an advantage. Regardless, it will be a competitive game.

You missed that I mentioned 1) it's 5A, and 2) it's August. Points being 5A is weak and August is early.

Covington Catholic beat Lex. Catholic convincingly last year and have most of there key starters back. Another useless preseason article. Kyle Bolin better be able to play QB, play defense and block for himself.

Congratulations to all the kids mentioned in the article but we all know that list has several kids that could be on it thats not. I will not mention kids I know should be on the list because it makes no sense to do that. I dont understand why they would have this come out anyway. Coaches dont know all the talent around the state but they know the big names that have recieved offers already for college. There are probably 50% of these kids that have equivilants around the state.

If they weren't in 5A, maybe, but 5A happens to be a weak sister this year. Conner could win it all come December and be the weakest state champ in Kentucky by a longshot. It's also August.

Playing without your 2 starting tackles and your #1 receiver, tend to make things a little more difficult. It gave the backups valuable experience they wouldn't get if they were playing a weaker opponent. It shows them exactly what they need to do to get better. If your beating someone by 5 touchdowns in a scrimmage, all it does it give you a false sense of security. I say play Trinity every year and make yourself better!

Wow! We did not realize they where missing 2 starting tackles and #1 reciever (Anthony Munoz, Forest Gregg and Jerry Rice). Now it makes sense why they didnt have a better showing. It could not be they played a superior team.

Just curios about SK football history. How many State Championships do they have in their history? Mabey thats an unfair question so lets try this.. How many regional championships do they have. I am pretty new to the NKY area but it sure seems SK fans really feel they have an elite program. I would not even rank them in my top 5 for NKY area (present or past). Mabey top ten.

I would think they have much better chance than anyone else in this area. The one thing we know is Conner couldnt win a class A state championship this year.

I don't know the 5A field well enough to say yes definitively.

 

However, they would certainly go deep into the playoffs.

atleast the kid from Lone Oak has put up numbers in Varsity competition. We put to many kids as the next coming but yet have played and varsity action.

I do believe many Highlands fans believe they are on par with 6A powers like Trinity and St.X. The reality is they have awesome program that will not compete consitently against 6A powers just like Beechwood against the Birds. No harm playing them or scrimmage them if you can deal with the reality that very small percentage of time you are going to be able to win. it is hard to think people really thought that they would be on par with Trinity.

Quick question. How good is Highlands up front? Who is going to do the dirty work so thier talented skill position players can do their jobs? Will highlands be able to handle big athletic offensive line? Remember, Championships are won up front.
