BLUEHOUND

Do you think when the Birds won the region , JC said...aw no, not those Bluebirds from Ft Thomas Highlands?!?!? They ruin everything....

I believe the magic number is 7 new everyday starters this year. Kreeger was the only returning starter. Not counting the pitcher, but both Doty and Raisor returned as well.

Solid effort.

Elder is not in the top 10 in Cincinnati and has a losing record.

Highlands has played very well verses Elder over the last couple of years. Even when the Panthers were having a decent season. Since 2013 the Birds havent lost to them.

KHSAA is correct. 2 losses to Moeller, cincy St X, 2-1 loss Strongville who beat Moeller and 3-2 loss to Centerville who beat Moeller twice. Lex Cath, Cov Cath and PRP who is ususally pretty strong are all quality opponents.

It's all about competing against good competition, and being ready when the tourney starts.

That's not the record

From what I am hearing, some will be back with the program after missing last year for various reasons.

For Beechwood?

We're getting pretty close to the 2016 season. What's everyone's predictions for the 9th region? Should be a good season.

Both teams have some real studs. Highlands QB is excellent, #45 from Highlands is a stud (but needs to play within himself), and Highlands had another RB that was a stud but I don't remember the number.

 

For Campbell their QB has a big future ahead of him if he continues to grow and improve. He is very gifted both throwing and running the ball. 37 a LB from Campbell is an absolute animal. He plays like a LB should play. Campbell had two or three other excellent Freshmen football players.

 

The only knock I see with Highlands team is a lack of size up front but that is not much different than usual.

 

For Campbell, the talent is unreal, the coaching leaves a lot to be desired. As good as Highlands is, a well coached Campbell team would drill them.

 

And Coach Lickert, you need to make sure that group gets plenty of your personal attention from this point forward. If you don't win big with that group you should definitely be fired.

Seems Kind of Harsh. Some beef possibly?

Every where Coach Lickert has been he's been a positive influence on the field and most certainly off the field. From Dayton to Covington and out to the county they've all been very impressed with everything he does.

I'm going with the Birds!

Any pics of the work?

Any highlights?

Are the Merida boys back? If not, are they going anywhere?

Who is available to pitch for Greenup?

Yeah

How long of a ride to Lexington?

Great job by the Birds! Hopefully they can make some noise next week in Lexington.

Birds take on Dayton today at 5pm at Bellevue.

Anyone got an update in the ryle vs Conner game?

From everyone I've talked to, he sounds like a classy individual. Hate to see him go. Any discussion on his replacement? Someone in waiting?

For me the best advice is to play them one game at a time starting tomorrow. If you try to plan too far ahead, you just might find yourself on the outside looking in.

Who does highlands play tomorrow?

With this being the last week of the season, what are everyone's thoughts now?

Strong work there!

Crickets....
