Dude - these are HS kids - they want nothing more than to do well and represent NCC. Give 'em a break!

21-7 Cov Cath - 4th Q

Cov Cath 14 Conner 7 - roughly 7 minutes left in 3Q

Extra point off upright

Conner 7 Cov Cath 6

Conner's score was on a 96 yd drive - I believe on 15 plays.

Conner 7 Cov Cath 0 @ Half. Conner interception on 1 yard line at end of half to keep CCH out of end zone.

7-0 Conner - 3:00 left in 1H

I don't think we want to go there...

Ryle's rushing attack is amazing - looked like Nebraska of the 80's-90's. Line up, here it is - you can't stop us. Very impressive - good luck in the future young Raiders! Congrats also to a "game" CCH team - Ryle was simply too much for anyone this year.

Not so much

I think I understand?

Does alumni mean played in the program at one point, or played in the program and graduated from the school?

Has anyone come within 20 of Ryle this year?

Would be interesting to see a "Hoop Dreams" style documentary on each of these freshman classes from Highlands and Ryle - following them all they way through senior year. Charting their development, progress and challenges as they move up the ranks. I say this because it seems, of late, posters have been commenting on the drop in talent (of late) in Ft. Thomas, while also lamenting how young promise seems to fade at Ryle. History suggests that HHS finds a way to persevere. Ryle, on the other hand, doesn't seem to live up to the promise that their freshman program represents through the success they achieve on the field. I don't have a dog in the fight - just piecing this together from comments gathered in various threads on both programs.

Hopefully, everyone remembers that all of this can and will be decided on the field. State rankings mean nothing - N O T H I N G ! ! ! !

Don't fall for that stuff.

No - Highlands doesn't fall into traps. Even if they did, they'd wake up in time to win. If anything, this team is a second half team. So, even if they have a flat 1H, their track record this season says they'd come out smokin' in 2H.

For anyone I've offended today with my attempt at light humor, I am truly sorry. I have profound respect for the Highlands football program. Good Night now!

Good to see someone has a sense of humor today.

Agreed - one of their feeder school programs won the NKY Public School Region last year. Heck, they could probably roll that starting five out this year and be formidable, but, you combine them with some other great talent from around NKY, they should be pretty darn good. Wondering aloud if any will go straight to the JV program. My guess is yes.

HHS's track record would tell us that they find ways to make lemonade out of lemons. The kids are part of a great program, work extremely hard in the offseason, and are very well coached. Until proven otherwise, I will assume that HHS will be a force for years to come.

Yes, they go all over NKY advertising their bike club - even if you own a bike in Florence, they will work out a rent to own deal in Ft. Thomas. Low, low financing - see store (I mean school) for details.

Mike Mitchell rode his bike from Park Hills, to Florence, to Ft. Thomas, to Florence, to Ft. Thomas...I can't keep it straight.

Moving to tackle, most likely.
