He used to be Jag! Love this kid and the family. Have a great healthy season Little McGinnis

As corny as it may sound to others. I'm with you there. No better example than Coach Sullivan at Cooper. He builds players and (family)relationships that carry on well past graduation.

Again, the purpose of the thread is being missed. The actual transfer/relocate is not in question. It is a "what if" they had played for schools they were intended to play for before the fact, could those teams have been any better? And who are some of the players that I missed?

Correct, they moved to attend Cov Cath. Good Decision for the family.

Correct. This is just a question of kids that were at one time in line to attend a specific high school or started at a school and moved. This isn't finger pointing, just a question of which football program could have been better without the transfers/relocations.

As we always look at schools that receive transfer kids coming in, it would be interesting to know which NKY school has had the most productive players to transfer/relocate "out" in the last 3 to 4 years? I think Conner, Cooper and Ryle all have impact productive players that could be in their program, but legally opted out. Conner: Elijah Mckinney (Beechwood) Backup QB,WR to Padgett (can't recall the name) Ryle : Dante Hendrix (Cooper) : Joshua Davis (Scott County) Cooper: Cameron Butler (Cov Cath) Ryan McGinnis (Cov Cath) Casey McGinnis (Coc Cath) Michael Spencer (Cov Cath) Jackson High (Ryle) Byron Brown (Maryville) Boone: Justin Schlarman (Cooper) I know I am missing many, but this is just a few I know of. These kids mentioned alone, could help any program be a dominant contender for the big school Title, if all were on the same team.

It would be a shame not to use him at receiver. He could easily be in the 1 spot on either side of the ball. Most electric receiver in the area by far if not the state.

Of course, the cake eaters just got a taste of humble pie!

Part of the norm for NKY is a team that can win, but does not quite have it to win or compete for the final State game every other year. Highlands has by far recently been the most dominant NKY team that gets to the final game. If I'm wrong on that, prove it. So yes, they are now becoming part of the norm. 1,2 maybe 3 deep in the playoffs for the next few years. with this years record, I don't see them competing for a State title soon. Prove me wrong next year, because this year is in the books.

I don't think you can convey the recent demise in power at Highlands to the kids alone. This goes to show how important a good head coach and staff is to any high school program. You just can't replace a Dale Mueller and expect to continue the dominance. Tough year for the Birds and what comes in the future depends on the development of a TOP notch staff that can continue to bring in and coach the playmakers to do what they have always done. Don't hang your heads Birds. You are now a part of the norm of Ky football..

I came to this game knowing that if Cooper could not stop Conner's newly inherited running back in the 4th qtr, Conner would get the win. Did not see enough weapons from Cooper to make a difference, and that hurts them when they play close games. Hendrix drives that team, and if can control (because you can't stop) him, you may have chance against the Jags. I still think the Region run is wide open for all four top NKY teams with Ryle a slight favor.

A year of growth and experience can make a big difference. That is the one advantage if any that I see.

Can you give us a position by position comparison of what Ryle has that is way too much for Cooper? Statistically or just your opinion will work. I see them pretty evenly matched myself.

See Post #12. You probably have no idea what you said, but that's not a simple question. It's ok, we understand.

Not everyone can play a perfect game as he only thinks SK can, but we all know who footballforever74 is from the past and we should know to take anything he says with; a grain of salt and a spoonful of vinegar. Just give it a few more weeks and we may not here from him for awhile. Way to fight through the ugliness Cooper and get the win tonight. Now prep for Ryle and we are definitely making the trip up from TN for that one.
