Congrats! Good luck !

I agree !! Well said !! I think it is very important that the JV kids , or backups and freshman squads and some cases froshmore . Should have a full schedule to play and opportunity to develop and utilized in practices . The teams that can manage that, will keep numbers at a higher end.

Watching practice last night , I can say I was impressed with the enthusiasm and the over all Moral . The team was moving around pretty well during conditioning !! Was impressed with Rice and Tucker on how them big boys can move for the size they are . I believe they play SK next week 7on7.

Roberto London last I heard had some talks with Kent State . Haven't heard much more as of late ? Anyone with any information on this young man ?

I feel it to be a productive thing as long as you have the right coaches and teachings in place . Fundamentals and proper techniques. In my opinion it would be very benefical if the middle school feeds into an individual high school , that the coaching staff is on the same page from top to bottom . That way they are taught the offense and defense and already know the expectations what the coaches expect once they enter high school. This way the high school coaches aren't forced to recoach what kids should of been taught in the development years. This also builds numbers and team work.

No worries. Scott should be just fine this year !! Love their chances in this district and the opportunity to see Dan take this program to another step up the ladder that they have not yet experienced . It all starts back Monday !! This 2015 team could break some school records !!

So cool !! If Scott comes out over Conner this season and Dixie they beat a 5A and a 6A local school !!

Yes . I agree 4A should be full of opportunity !!

It is Highlands guys !! Contender !!

Welcome Back !!

The offense that Dan has the team run , was what was best with the key talent that he had when taking over and it has prooved to be successful. I agree , that some passing has to be evolved out of this formation and I know it can be . I believe the issue , in the past was QB confidence and Development. I also believe the blocking and having the right personal to pass to has been a factor. All that being said , I am confident that they have the talent on the field this season , to run , pass, block, and I think Scotts offense will put up points.

The offense is designed to run the ball And there were passing plays developed out of this formation , and unfortunately, in the few times that they attempted , the QB seemed rushed and not comfortable . I think this season they may have found away to balance the offense out and utilize the talent . The key this season will be the blocking . With this style offense all 11 guys have to block .

Prediction would be difficult to say for sure. I see the NewCath , Dixie, Conner, Bourbon ...to be very good games . I could see those games going either way . I see the Eagles Winners in the rest of the games . The only loss for sure I could see on paper would be SK . I just feel Scott will be competitive . They could end up above average or 9 and 1 . It just all depends how the stars line up.

The Eagles should be competitive this season .

Agreed 100 percent !! It ALL starts upfront !!

Who wouldn't want to play lineman for the birds ? The exposure your athlete would recieve , and the new facilities and a winning atmosphere and tradition !!! They teach success !! Highlands has done this year after year !! It is what they do !!

I personally do not have video. The head coach , and a few others do. I have seen video. I will see what I can do to get my hands on it and submit it as soon as I do.

The pics and field look Great !!

He is 6'3 330. Size 20 shoe. At 15. Plays offensive tackle and defensive nose .

I can not speak for the other athletes , but as far as Gage and his squatting numbers . Yes the numbers are correct and school coaching staff , did video tape it on thier phone at practice.

Gage has increased his squatting max out to 600 at age 15. He could of probably even went further ..held up due to bar started bending . Also to prevent injury . He is very young , putting up some numbers.

I know every school obviously does it differently . It depends on the Head Coach in the direction and priorities. I know many coaches who Love the program and wants to win , but loves the kids and wants to see them be successful and win as individuals in life . I think those particular coaches, are the ones that encourage the upper classman to attend camps , why hold back a kid to better himself , or even get exposure to have an education paid for !! No right or wrong answer here .. Like I said ..its a priority thing and personal preferance . I do know many that excuse it

Many of the threads on baseball, basketball, football , predict outcomes of games, seasons , etc. So for you to not like open prediction discussions on sports ? Not sure ? I see bluegrass preps as always having discussions on current events in high school programs. That being said ..I mentioned the struggles the first year out of the gate and so late , with lack of having a coach . Nothing negative was meant by it . Just my opinion ! Good luck to Newport and the programs future moving forward !!

Pretty smart move and as far as transportation many kids and parents find ways to car pool !! It all worksout. That is a great price for that many sessions , and it goes up to 8th grade unlike some of the other camps only go to 7th grade .
