14-1.  State Runner up.  Beating the rival Highlands and Beechwood.   A great season for these CC seniors

Wow just wow! Thought the Colonels would be competitive. Didn't see that sense of urgency on offense and is the QB draw the main offensive play?

It’s been way too much of the offense for a few years.   IMO. The option was a newer wrinkle that had some success.  
I would have expected some throws/ lobs toWillie against the fast but shorter DBs.  The sweeps and WR screens CC use so much obviously don’t work against that team speed.

Not even close.

I don’t know man.  “You haven’t seen speed like this.  You don’t understand how good they are.  Elite athletes.  “. All last week.   Maybe Boyle is 35 points better than PT just saying 

15,16,17,18 year old kids under the lights.   Anything can happen. 
 

CC heard pretty much the same things all last week so we’ll see. 

I’m not sure Carter is best player Cov Cath saw all year, and if so at  not by a wide margin. Maybe the fastest but that doesn’t necessarily mean the best. He had no or maybe one catch with Miller covering him. He couldn't get a clean release when pressed by Miller.  

His speed made for over pursuit and opened cut back lanes    When it was working not sure why PT didn’t stick with it.  I noticed in warmups he did his own thing and he danced off to the  side while the team did their charge on to the field.

I've now seen them in person, and I fully understand it. Pitzer's run through Carter for the final CovCath TD was BIG BOY football.  

Good luck against Boyle, Colonels.  

Someone was tired of the talking. 

Has a traveling team ever won?  I think so…

The pros don’t do it.  Home field is a goal. 
 

The schedules look like the Colonels have been tested a lot more.   Recently Ashland certainly tested the pass D and JC tested the run D.   That preparation and home field hopefully carry the day.  

I know the QB has to sell the option but the DE decked Pitzer three times hard.  Might want to dodge a little.  

JC moved the ball in first half, down a possession with the second half kickoff so felt wide open at half.   But I don’t think they got a first down in the second half till the last drive 

The CCH D has made some adjustments 

This one a one turnover decides the game kind of game.  

When  CCH gets 2nd and short they need to just run two or three times  and get a first.   The passes keep failing and turning into turnovers on downs.   Get the first down.

Now to be serious...

I don't see what is so wrong with high school football in Kentucky. Our issues have more to do with the way our population is spread across the state and the number of schools than anything. At this point there are only a handful of schools left that could be consolidated and that wouldn't really fix any of the issues most have.

We have 6 classes due to trying to keep enrollment sizes in each class reasonable. 

1A male enrollment is from 84 to 189

2A is 191 to 302

3A is 306 to 410

4A is 414 to 524

5A is 527 to 737

6A is 754 to 1192

I thought the 6 classes was in part because the big Louisville schools were so dominant more schools wanted to avoid them in the playoffs.    

I would lose the bye to move the playoffs up a week.  Other than that not sure there is a problem to fix.   Did like the suggestion of longer dead period and wouldn’t mind less spring football.  It’s high school.  
 

CovCath arrived a few minutes before kickoff and had no real warmup time. I think they just misjudged the travel tome and stopped for dinner in Lexington 

Lost to Danville in 1984?  Arrived late to the game 

After a couple early mistakes it was 35-10 Cov Cath.  Pretty much what everyone expected 

Has Eddie ever heard of a roll out?   

The flubbed field goal and muffed punt was a turning but without the pick six this game likely came down to the last play. Physically and talent wise they seemed even. Birds had more mistakes.

These teams are as evenly matched as they’ve been in a while.  

Ugh.  Still with the QB draws

With high 90s forecast and almost 100 Friday, will practice and any games be impacted? 

A lot fewer QB draws this time.  Minus the offsides on two fourth downs and the dropped long ball this would have been or close to 35-0 running clock in fourth.  Seemed like good adjustment after the first two GC drives by the CCH defense to get penetration and stop the run game.  When the QB ran it wasn’t  just up the middle and a nice change from the incessant draws up the gut.  If not for the injuries the game next week could be competitive but it’s going to take a perfect game and some innovative plays to hang I’m afraid. 

Being a football fan means watching games stating what you think about it.  Asking questions as a fan about the play calling isn’t turning on the ole ball coach. 

My big concern would be he doesn’t feel has the personnel to call something else. And if not showing was the strategy I agree with the above this game was too big not to try. So I don’t think that’s it. 
 

Roll out side the pocket just once with a run pitch pass options?

And the colonels are better than most teams in the state so no panic or anything. But if 40-50% of your plays are QB draws I’m asking why.
