Does either team get past Butler or Ballard?

How do the teams match up? Curious?

Johnson from Dixie is #1 DL on Scout.com for KY. Odd not listed

I wouldn't be surprised if SK puts 9 in the box and shuts the run down.

Isn't that what they tried last time? What would be different?

We'd rather you stay in Independence too. :lol:

That's really cool to hear he is so accomplished at 2 sports. So, I'm guessing his wrestling abilities help him tremendously on the football field?

Yeah, also a talented shot put thrower. 3rd in state. Is there any State Champions on SK's team? There's at least 1 on Dixie's! :thumb:

^ Can you quantify "jam packed"? 2500, 3500, 4500, 5500, 6500, or 8000+. Just wondering...

I BELIEVE R. Mount joy Stadium capacity is 5500

Speaking of wrestling, I heard that Dixie has a kid who wrestled last season under pressure from his parents, under the condition that if he won state, then he would not be asked to wrestle again... then he went on to win state last year and is not going to wrestle this year??? Is this true?

That's funny! Branden wrestled since he was 5 years old in the raider youth program with Belk and Mieman. He had always had 1 goal....a title. Last year when he won that he told all of his coaches (Simmons -retired) he was done. Kid is getting ready for the next step in his life...D1 Football! I do know his parents and dad coaches Football. They have another son who wrestles really well and even a little girl who placed at youth state a few years ago. Trust me, Branden has chosen this path on his own.

Dixie star football players.

#76 DL Branden Johnson 1 int 4.5 sack 22.5 tackles

#58 DL Colson Machlitt 45 tackles 11.5 sacks

I knew Dixie laid the wood to SK....but I didn't think it was this bad. They're better than I even thought!:banana:

Careful Colonel red fan, you're playing with fire!

Careful nothing. I've watched Olmstead and Vercheak double Johnson on stunts where he edge rushes. I've Seen Johnson doubled by Ensweiler and Olmstead/center. I've seen the SK line allow Johnson in for a RB screen. Point is this. If you want a 'Neer to go head to head with Johnson, You'd better use you're best (Olmstead). And when you do so, get ready for the ground to shake. BTW. I've also see Owen Sammons run right past Olmstead like he was standing still.

Clearly, SK has to make major adjustments to be competitive in this game. If I'm SK , I play a five man front , and play the the QB keep option every time. I blitz corner backs and I live with the pass completions. On offense , I pass the ball down field on first down at least 5 times to get the linebackers off the los. I move #67 from SK to be over Johnson so he does not have to be double teamed. I also consider throwing in some on side kicks.

Get ahold of some game film. Olmstead was over johnson in the last match. They only will be head to head if SK moves him to G. And if you do this, Machlitt will eat whatever tackle you put there. No 'Neer can stop Johnson 1 on 1. He's a player you have to plan around. Kind of like your doing here.

31 yard TD pass Moore to #8

Kind of like Dixie fans saying Ryle is the second best team in district? :lol2:

Well since you asked for it... Dixie has beaten ALL 6A NKY teams. They (we) have a good vantage point to judge talent and ability in NKY 6A. Ryle played Dixie, the district champs, hard. They had determination until the last whistle.

You fall into the same trap everytime. You have always related to being big equates to being better. It just doesn't happen that way 100% of the time.

It's strategy. If SK looses, it will be that they made a few mistakes and a team Full of future MVP'S are the ones who narrowly escaped with a W. If SK wins, they beat the best possible team in the state. It's methodical and tired.

Can you explain how that board member thing works?

I was on the board for the Dixie Raiders for several years. First you attend 3 regular meetings to become a Member at Large. Once this happens you have to attend regularly and when a vacancy opens up, the standing board votes to allow you in. As far as the Good Ole Boys.... I came into it not knowing ANYBODY. Was at large for a couple months and member for few years. You may have to buy a round here or there though.

Your post #29 & 32 are laughable. Perhaps you should remember back to a few weeks ago before you question how people could possibly think Dixie as a favorite. Also, nobody believes that England was 100% and didn't play because he wasn't needed. I hope the kid is well rested because if he thought he took some bumps when Dixie wasn't focused on the ground attack from Ryle, well this week won't be any easier. Both programs are moving in the right direction, lets leave it at that until Friday night.

I think England takes over the game.

Wouldn't expect anything less from you.

Round two. Who wins?

Washington OL. Riedmatter TE. Cundiff (B. Johnson little brother) DL

Stats? Couldn't get much from forum.

It was 46 - 0 at halftime..did Dixie sit their key players in the 2nd half?

Yes. Scored 18 in 4th against jv and Frosh

Final?
