Why does Henry Clay rotate Qbs?

With the Cooper win last night the Camels will host Connor in first round of playoffs. Interesting rematch because Camels were able to run ball against Connor's D. Connor was exclusively pass with big plays on several scrambles by Padgett where he found a receiver open on the backside of the play. Right before halftime Camels D broke down and gave up a score with less than a minute to go. Connor got the ball to start second half and scored breaking open a game that could have gone either way. Defensively Camels need to keep their pass rush more disciplined. Padgett can create so they have to keep him contained while pressuring him. Secondary has to do their jobs, Connor has several talented receivers, need to be mentally tough, then make plays. Offensively the Camels have had success moving the ball both during this game and since then. Need to continue that and finish their drives with touchdowns. Our style is slower than Connor's so it is important to make our drives count. Dowds and Plessinger now present two potent options which have produced on the ground. If the Camels continue to hammer these two and let that open up passing attack they'll produce points. The flashes of the good Camel team are getting more prevalent, just gotta believe, play through their mistakes, and finish. Go Camels!

Scoring has improved along with the defense. The 9 turnovers in first game were big part of that loss. Several were caused by Highlands, but most were of Camel's own doing. I'm sure both teams have grown since this game, will definetly be fun to watch.

It was good to hear the Camel fight song at midfield finally this year. I heard a lot of kids talking about their experience at the bonfire, and parent letter night always inspires them. Added and needed boost of emotion that helped them overcome some first half setbacks and regain the lead going into half! Contribution from many different players tonight was awesome. I'm not saying they are a well oiled machine but this team has always been better than their record, just gotta believe. Go Camels!

Awesome weather for this time of season. 73* Beautiful. Go Camels!

Frosh season has to be completed before last varsity game. That is the stumbling block to any kind of post season. These last games of year are setup after season has started. In past the "championship" was really nothing more than two teams agreeing to play. Some years it works out, and some it does not. Not sure of start time i believe 6:00pm. Game will be at Highlands.

The original complaint was about Ryle attempting onside kick and sacrificing the yards. How far Highlands' kicker kicks the ball is not relevant.

Agree, you are probably giving up a max of 20 yards of field position. Reward at that level far out ways the risk. There is a thread on the HS coach who always onside kicks, uses all four downs(no punts) regardless of spot on field, and goes for 2pt conversion.

Camels take this one 28-7.

Barring an upset by either team against Simon Kenton, the winner of the Campbell County. Vs Boone County game on 10/23/15 will be the 2 seed. The game will be played at Campbell Co.

Western Brown's offence is better than Ryle's. Their QB is a transfer from Montgomery County. Loaded with skill guys. Good size too! Definitely not a step down.

The last two weeks there have been a significant number of position changes. Against Cooper both sides of the ball saw players in spots they had not played this year. Two young QBs were given a shot and they made some mistakes very early in game, Boom 21-0 in first half. 14-7 in a downpour in second half. This week against Ryle even more change, with more player movement. The offence was changed for simplicity for the sophomore. With that many moving parts you're going to have some ugly moments. Ryle is a very good team and the Camels were not going to win that game, but change is occurring across the board to get better. Some onlookers will be patient and some will be you! Hopefully more of the former.

FYI in that Highlands game there were a few bluebirds who weren't exactly wearing white robes and halos! Along with the lesson in poise on the field, the Camels will learn HE WHO ACTS SECOND GETS CAUGHT!

Campbell has offensive weapons , if the line would step up , and no turnovers , go Camels

90*F, first time temperature might be a factor.

220..221 whatever it takes! :up: soft, team ahead, 15 yard or more depth at snap. Again, both games I believe unfolded unfavorably for Camels to find offensive rhythm. They will move the ball in both facets of the game, and score points. It'll come together.

I've sat back and watched the last two weeks without comment, trying to just observe. Now I would like to share some observations on where Campbell County is after two games. By all means the end result of first two games has not been what the Camels would desire on the scoreboard to help out their pride, but to be honest they are practice games. The season is not spiraling out of control, thank you Heisenberg. I do believe there has been a concerted effort to develop the passing game. Camels are averaging 174 yards / game in the air. At that clip over the regular season, 1740 yards would absolutely demolish their air attack from last year by roughly 1100 yards. The average gain per pass is 10.5 yards, with the longest passes of 44 and 55 yards respectively. The outs and hitches are being completed on a regular basis to a talented bunch of receivers. The receiving corp this year is deeper, faster and taller than the previous three years. Quite honestly the deep ball has not been as successful because of game situations and facing quite a bit of cover 2. The biggest opportunity I see is increasing yards after contact, IE breaking some tackles for some big plays. In both contests the percentage of plays excluding kicks has been very similar, at a clip of 65 % passing and 35 % running. Last year's team ran into 8 and 9 men in the box and still got yards. I see this loosening up very much. The run to pass % may stay the same or may change, but I do see the way the run and pass are used to complement each other coming together this week. The low yardage totals rushing again are impacted in the first two weeks by game situation. East Central (biggest key to loss Time of Possession) Against East Central, the Campbell County offence had 7 possessions with 3 touchdowns, 3 punts, and one turnover. EC's 97 yard third quarter eating touchdown drive forced the play calling to be quick hitting passing plays. The Camels scored quickly and often in the 4th quarter to almost pull it out before the interception just outside the redzone. With a 1:40 left in that game the Camels had a very good chance of scoring and winning that game. East Central's power running produced time of possession dominance which left Campbell County fighting to recover. Four players who started last year back, with many Juniors and Sophomores seeing their very first big time Varsity minutes. Young Offence! Against East Central the defense struggled to get off the field. Failure to make plays on third down and missed tackles leading to yards after contact left the Camels on the field too long. The Camel defense I believe had 3 starters who saw significant Varsity minutes last year, with again Juniors and Sophomores playing for the first time. Young Defense! Last years senior class was very heavy leaving new openings to fill across both sides of the ball. The team at this early point in the season is young and mostly inexperienced. Talent looking to gain experience. I don't think this is a surprise revelation from pre-season to now. Highlands(biggest key to loss-3 Turnovers inside Highlands territory, first half field position, Big Plays) Three turnovers killed potential scoring opportunities which could have put pressure back on the opponent. The offence moved the ball with out the benefit of closing with points. The defense defended the pass well, but Highlands found the weak spots in the run defense. Highlands exploited holes created by defenders out of place, and popped off multiple big plays. Too much sudden change scoring. Friday, I think the Camels find their stride on offence and defense. Young talent takes next step forward. We shall see! BTW...just another practice game, albeit with some baggage. Many of these boys played together growing up as happens all across NKY, just makes the game a little more spicy. Good luck to both. GO CAMELS!

I am sorry for misspelling Andrew's last name autocorrect on kindle gets me every time.

Dawson Hogan and Carson Plessinger from Campbell County. Kory Embs from Bishop Brossart, Zach Mann and Andrew Frame from Scott, Josh Schneider from Newport Central Catholic. Trying to think of more.

In the Junior game the East Squad won 4-3.
