Which game are you complaining about? Highlands, Simon Kenton, or both?

She is definitely on the team. I believe she is nursing an injury as I am fairly certain that I've seen her play this year. Her and Olivia usually split halves.

Fort Thomas Matters Sports: Ladybirds continue to roll The depth again showed its value for the Highlands Ladybirds soccer team. Highlands rotated 22 players in and out and it helped beat the Campbell County Lady Camels, 6-0 Monday at Tower Park. Highlands stayed undefeated at 5-0 and has outscored the opposition, 16-0 as junior goalkeeper Olivia McQueary recorded her fifth shutout of the season. Defenders Karolyn Lukjan, Parker Price, Hannah Hartman and Hannah Gish pitched in on that effort. Highlands has not started a season 5-0 since the 2005 state championship team that began the season with 11-0. The 2006 state championship squad opened the season 10-0-2 and the 2007 team started 10-0-3. "We spent more practice time this season so far on situational defense than the last three years combined," said Brian Wiefering, Highlands Head Coach. "They each have very specific defensive responsibilities based on opposing formations - where the ball is on the field, what the score is, and many other factors. There is a lot we have demanded from them in remembering within a split second these situational tactics that require them to be very disciplined. We also have defined what a hard work rate is, and nothing less is acceptable. They seem to have bought in and do a great job in pushing and supporting each other." Freshman Maria Wiefering and senior Sydney Ossege scored twice for the Ladybirds with freshman Ali Gessner and junior Kylie Stava scoring the other two. Ossege leads Highlands with four goals on the season and an assist for a team-high nine points. Gessner had four assists with Kiersten Clukey and Maria Wiefering adding one each. The Highlands coaching staff rested standout center defender Sophie Steppe and sophomore standout forward Lindsey Meyer. Steppe had played all 80 minutes of the first four games. "We have a ton of experience and talented newcomers," said Claudia Hils, Highlands senior. "We have a great team camaraderie and that helps a lot. That definitely play well off each others' strengths." Coach Wiefering said the team has come a long way passing the ball. But the Ladybirds are still not where they want to be offensively. The 2005 and 2006 Highlands state championship teams outscored opponents, 62-7 and 64-7 respectively. "We are not always making the best decisions with our passing or making the best movement off the ball," Coach Wiefering said. "It's an improvement from years past, but for us to be a state contender, we have to get better in that area, with and without the ball on the offensive end. I know that I and the coaching staff are most pleased with their overall work ethic, and seeing these girls enjoy playing soccer and building such great relationships." Highlands plays host to Bellevue on Wednesday to open 36th District action. Game time is 4:30 p.m.

per KHSAA

It was Highlands 4-0 when I left at half.

Any assists recorded?

I'd rather see them use the old shoot out. Goalie/Attacker 1:1 Start at line and top of the arc on the penalty box(I think that's where they start - close enough). Attacker gets 1 shot and ____ seconds to take the shot. Attacker and goalie allowed to move on the whistle blow. Not sure when it changed, but that's the way it was "back in the day". Much more entertaining

Is the Dayton KICKER also their CENTER?

If everyone is in the team photo (and i counted correctly) 36

10-3 Record Outscored opponents 308 -120 Average margin of victory: 21 (59 highest) Average margin of defeat: 7.3 Worst loss was the season opener to Highlands 28-13. Other 2 were 2 & 5 point losses. (Highlands lost to Hopkinsville in the 2A final 27-6) Apparently they didn't post individual stats or play by play on the internet back then.

They are recognizing the 50th anniversary of the championship season at tonight's game. (Was googling looking for stats on the team and a link to this thread came up)

JUST 13 HOURS TIL GAME TIME!!!!

Safe travels JOAT

From what I understand, he's aching for some contact. Guessing it'll take Lindsey Wilson quite some time to get the linebacker out of their kicker.

The Campbell Co Police station is just a mile or so up the road. But with the firing range even closer, some may not notice!
