WHY O WHY

Nice home win against a rival. Thought Ryle would have won by double digits though. Raiders best athlete must of been hurt, sat entire second half? Would be nice to see the offense set some screens, back cuts, anything other than running in a circle. Shooters can’t get open on their own. Hopefully the lack of points from 3, 5 last few games will be a learning experience & find ways to open it up for shooters before tournament. Go Raiders

Hats off to SK. 3-4 point game to start 4th, Ryle staff caught up with watching, no substitutions or quality timeouts to stop the run? Lose by 21. No Participation Awards please. Let’s learn & hopefully stay in games late!

Sounds like the boys club koolaid commenting now. This year Ryle should have been competing with everyone & for sure a winning record. I’ve watched a few games this year and I was shocked to see the BS stuff that is tolerated by a few of Big Macs favs. Oh well no dog in the fight, shame to see this school fighting to see out of the basement.

The quarterback whisperer from Lex-Cath is having to coach now with Morgan, Chism, and others gone. Defense lost coach. Tough to watch, this football and basketball program. Did Ryle sign a new kicker in the off season? Maybe I’ve missed something the last couple years. Same kid could barely reach the ten without a breeze on kickoffs He was consistent on short kicks but a booming leg ?

I know in the wins/losses it’s irrelevant but I’m pretty sure a 1 point loss is competitive and a half dozen 30+ losses are a little hard to get over and pumped up to play. Perhaps some adjustments in scheme on both sides of the ball with the talent or as you said lack of talent may put a little more competitive team on the floor? Ryle couldn’t have written the tournament schedule themselves and been provided a better opportunity to make it to regional finals. Your right nobody thought this team would be playing at the end of February but good for the boys. Good luck

Here’s your positive participation trophy, 2 quality wins against Boone. Two of the most fun games I’ve watched in the last 10+ at Ryle. I think Boone beat Cooper once this year? Even if Cooper wasn’t at 100% are they seriously a 50 point win over Ryle. No 6A school should be thumped that often in your own backyard. Just haven’t figured out how we can beat a Boone team twice and then get that result. Yes Cooper is that good and loaded with talent, they could’ve scored 100 if they wanted. Have seen some good things from young kids last few games at Ryle & hopefully it builds some momentum into offseason?

Hope the Tarvin boy is ok. Yikes, looks like Cooper coach thoroughly enjoys laying it on Mcfarland. Boys seem to play like they were supposed to get drubbed. At some point would’ve been nice to see them say enough & get physical & compete. There’s been entirely to many 30+ point beatings. Maybe the rumored changes will show something different next season.

Definitely nice game for Juggs. Post game news conference leaks rumors of big changes coming in offensive & defensive strategy for next season at Ryle. Stay tuned

10 win season Baby, Cmon man !

Awful, Ryle doesn’t press, zone was slow & lazy, they went to basket at will, out hustled, rebounded...... same old! Finally let kids attack the rim & be aggressive & made 4th fun to watch, too little too late. Come on Spring

Wow, interesting roster, most on it should be playing at there age group or bench contributors on JV this year at best. Watch that list in a competitive varsity game, physically & mentally overwhelmed. Should be entertaining to watch who’s in Mcfarland’s ear & gets on the court to finish a long season.

JV could have a pretty solid record with some coaching. Coaching staff top to bottom of BFFs , philosophy has really shined. You expect a little struggle with no seniors but this is just a bad product.

Absolutely brutal to watch. Has this offensive scheme ever produced? Kids stand around flat footed waiting for the ball, coach has center shooting 3's, curious if he has made a shot in the paint. Press break..... Varsity has lost several games by 30+. Maybe the MAFIA can help him see what the rest of us are watching and maybe adapt to whatever he has for talent.

Gotcha, probably gonna offend some one but IMO the major factors on CE were there. CE has more talent and a high energy coach, should go far in end of season tourney. Good luck

8th Ockerman beat CE in there first game, was a great game. Then beat Beechwood in there 2nd game, all players were present to my knowledge for all squads on those days. Since a rough start at 0-2 after Highlands and Beechwood losses, Ockerman has put together a nice run despite a coach that is just there? wins against SV, Conner, CE, and Beechwood with a one point loss to CE in there. Keep grinding Hawks, just wanted to give a shout out.

Pretty sure everyone, players included a fan of TCA and no disrespect intended.My only disappointment was Hendrix taunting in front of Ryle bench. He made some great catches against a dismal secondary. Go with it and get back in the huddle.

At the end of the day the level of competition in this area is awful this year

! Both teams should be winning as they have, 3 teams SK,Ryle, Cooper, beyond that pretty much garbage in the area!

37 yarder against camels that wouldn't have made it another 6 inches, hasn't had a kickoff inside 10 this year. He is decent but still amazing a school that size doesn't have a kicker that can reach the end zone.

I agree, It just bothers me when someone like Why O Why who is new to this site is so butt hurt that Cooper beat Ryle he spends his time trashing the team that beat his and uses lame excuses along the way to do so. It gets old, and although I am a huge England fan, Why O Why now makes me wonder what excuse he will use when Dixie throttles Ryle Friday night

No excuse, we're supposed to lose. They have D1 players all over the field. We've been a 3 score+ underdog against Dixie and SK this year. Hope both teams play well and stay healthy to represent NKY moving forward. Thanks for your support. Hope you guys play well and go deep this year, have seen a lot of your boys grow up playing, wish them the best.

Your hatred, or jealousy, not sure which it is toward Cooper is undying lol.

 

so you don't think Cooper is worth a hill of beans yet you still claim Ryle to be a formidable opponent? Really? Ryle lost to the team you continue to bash, are you simply running out of excuses? I believe you were the one crying about cooper's field as if that was the reason Ryle lost lol. So if you're saying Cooper isn't good, what does that make Ryle? A team that lost by 2 scores to a horrible Cooper team.

 

You claim Ryles offense was the reason you lost that game because they were bad yet you seem to forget that our offense was brand new with all but 2 players new to the offense and first time starters. Your defense was what lost the game for you no tyour offense. Your defense which is so great according to you gave up over 100 yards rushing to Cordell-Armstrong that game. Simply put Cooper was and is the better team.

 

Oh, by the way, Ryle lost to Dixie, Bryan Station and Scott Co. giving up 113 points. I guess you forgot about that, do you need a reminder on other scores too....such as Sycamore?

 

I have a special link for you

Ryle (Union, KY) @ Cooper (Burlington, KY) Football 8/22/14 Box Score - MaxPreps

 

Oh, by the way, Ryle is so great they have a losing record, 5-7 lol....oh did I mention Cooper has a winning record this year 7-4? did I also mention that when the season is all said and done Cooper will still have a winning record and Ryle will still have a losing record? So you can take your crying somewhere else because we really don't care what you think about cooper, your team lost which makes your team worse than Cooper period.

For someone who doesn't care what anyone thinks your a little sensitive? Let's scroll down our schedule and see where you might be at this point in the season, 2 wins maybe 3. Probably running clock at halftime in 3 of them. We had a horrible start to our season no doubt. The only touchdown in the game was the result of a turnover inside the 20, I think? Both defense were strong on the pigpen that night. I'm glad to see Ryle playing its best football at the end of the year and maybe you taught us a lesson in game one. Oh, by the way the Bengals have a winning record also, safe bet Ryle wasn't anyones first choice to play in round 1 or 2 of the playoffs. Good luck this weekend it should be another easy win for you, it's been fun.

Just have Ryle's cheerleaders hold up a District Champs Banner in front of Dixie . Never seen a Dixie Team hit or play so hard as that night! Do believe it was Dixie's first District Title that Night!:thumb: Dixie by 10

And it was well deserved you have a great team. Good luck!

Quality opponents compared to who? Least this game is on turf so you can't cry about how your football team had to play on a wet field. I mean it is football right where teams play in snow and mud?

How about just saying you got beat by the better team. Yes maybe the star athletes were out or your team was starting a new scheme but there are still plenty of other players who want to play out there.

Cooper played Campbell , Dixie, SK, and gave up 100+points and scored 2 touchdowns. I you really saying that's a quality team? Agree to dis agree. We deserved to lose game 1 without a doubt but that doesn't mean your Jags are a quality team. Sorry again JMO

Cooper has a mud pit? Interesting I was on it Friday and no mud on the field. For the record, not making any excuses, just terrible that their kids suffer for booster's actions

Weird it was a mud pit in the middle of a 2 week dry spell to start the season, glad to see they got that drainage fixed.

Ryle will have to stop Dixie's running game to get the win. A tough thing to do.

For sure, forced 3 fumbles last game. Maybe some will bounce our way in round 2. Gonna be cold the hits are gonna hurt for all.

The field is terrible! Any rain and it will be a mud pit again!

It will be like playing at home for Cooper on their mud pit. Coach should call ahead for the sprinklers.
