Dixie 34-12

Two of the three lowest rated World Series included the Giants. The 2012 series with the Giants and the Tigers was the lowest all-time, with an average of 12M viewers. I would agree that putting the Royals in with the Giants will likely supplant 2012 as the least watched of all time. I'm sure Fox is instead hoping that the Royals can help generate the interest of 1980, when they Royals and Phillies series pulled in the most viewing average of 32M viewers per game.

The Royals are an anomaly to how Baseball is played today. It is refreshing to see that a professional teams commitment to small-ball can work at the professional level. It has finally taken this team to put the message in flashing neon lights that the steroid era is over! You can win without a single and a bomb!

Who wins and why?

I honestly don't believe it had anything to do with money. He id not fit their scheme and brought less value to them keeping him than to get something in return for him If there was any possible way that they thought he could help this team get back to the Super Bowl, you keep him until the end of the season and then you release him because you don't want to pay him.

Where did you possibly get that from what I wrote. I made NO comparisons between the two. Re-read it for yourself!

YES NO

I would love nothing more than for Ryle to shock Dixie and create a 3-way tie. But there is NO WAY that will happen. Ryle proved that SK was overrated in their match-up a few weeks ago. Not many wanted to believe that until last night proved it! No, Ryle won't beat Dixie!

^ Don't try to make it what it's not Clyde. Both teams have weaknesses that they know will not win them a District yet. Yes, the oblong pigskin bounces funny, and next week it could bounce Ryle's way. But neither team has the horses yet. Both teams know where they need to get more mature. Ryle is closer than Campbell County and that was obvious on the field last night.

I can agree with this. Losing Wilson meant this team lost their offensive direction. The Camels finally were going change from "Power left or Power right". But Wilson had still not proven he could pass, so we honestly do not know what we would have seen. Obviously the loss of Myers to prepare for his High School undefeated record for Wrestling put a burden on the defense.

No disrespect to our Raider fans on here, but last night was a poorly executed football game, played by two less than average football teams. I don't want to discredit either team, but based on last night, neither is good. Thus, every team has a bad or looks like their execution is off. But it is CCHS who has looked like the wheels have fallen off! 4-4 is not life-ending (or playoff ending), but when your last three games have included two embarrassing blowouts and then one "MUST WIN", at home, against a mediocre team, and you lose, well how do you justify 4-4 not being that bad?

The Camels are indeed an enigma. But that is only when you look at what we expected after the Highlands game versus what we have seen in the last three games. For the 6A coaches, the game planning against the Camels has not changed in the last four seasons. Whether is was "Durham power right" for two years, or "Wood power left" and now "Plessinger power left", the offense is identical! All three quarterbacks played with heart and grit, but you cannot keep a defense honest, you see what we saw the last three weeks. I watched Ryle load up the left side of the box, sometimes with 5 defensive players in the box left of the center. To the Camels credit, they still moved the ball, but it is a one trick pony that the trick has been exposed. Lickert is to be credited for bringing the HHS mentality of only running a handfull of plays, and running them to near perfection. But what he does not have that the Birds have always had is the ability to keep the defense honest by throwing the ball downfield. I don't mean this to be all about the offense though. The real issue with CCHS over the tenure of this coaching staff is the inability of the Defense to stop big plays. If you want to look at the real issues with Campbell County football and what is preventing them from taking the next step, it's the leader who has ran the defense over this tenure. This is not a gripe. I am not a father of a player. Let the facts speak for themselves. Look at the stats, and if you are not a stat person, then look at the results. This year, it is the same story, different season!

Yes, but they lost! In 2012, when both Henry Clay (L 33-31) and Bryan Station (L 29-22) were the worst teams in their District. How do you hang your hat on that?

It is hard to form an opinion on Simon Kenton. UK#1 would have us believe this is the best team Simon Kenton has ever had, yet they have struggled on the road to two of the worst 6A teams in the state. No knock on Boone or Ryle, but both programs would admit to not having the horses to compete. Campbell County did fool us once again, but they are not ready yet to prove they are a consistent football team that can win away from their own field. And I do not believe that Dixie is as good as last year, so to beat the Colonels will not be as impressive as much as a loss will prove that NKY 6A is the weakest it has ever been. Same argument, different day. Until Simon Kenton has played a game against Cov Cath or Highlands, then they will continue to be "Boise State" claiming they deserve to be recognized alongside the SEC.
