    2016 NKY Youth Football

    in Middle School Sports

    Posted

    I watched some good games yesterday. Bandits looked good as always. Spartans and Raiders had some good games. Unfortunately, watched a loudmouth Spartan parent who decided to stand behind the Raiders sidelines and heckle some of their coaches during the 6th grade game. When will that place get adequate security? Big dope with a cowboy hat making Spartan Nation look bad!

     

    Did anyone say anything to this clown(s)? Surprised to see that from Spartan parents. Won't be long until there's a full blown riot/police scene out there considering some of the stuff that's happened out there in recent years. Usually the same players involved however.

     

    Sad.

    You just do not get it nor will you ever get it. Time to move on, I have to get back to work.

     

    I'll go ahead and second this. I mean no matter what name you go under, the results are the same.

     

    Look, it's ridiculous ... Have you scoped the linemen in the midget division? Can you tell me the starting 11 of every team and rank them? Of course not, no one can or should.

     

    I have seen your two VERY good backs, and they are definitely top players. However, in the odd discussion of the BEST two, I'd imagine some folks in Campbell County, Ft. Mitchell, Covington and Ludlow would have a dog in this fight.

     

    And, seriously, again, who has time to see every team?!?!

    Georgetown College Player Dies

    Beyond tragic and remarkably unfair to the Machlitt family and all of those that loved this young man so deeply.

     

    Lots and lots of sad folks in Spartans, Dixie and Georgetown communities today as well. Colson clearly made one hell of an impression on those groups over the years.

     

    Now, I'm going to go hug my 11 year old and pray that I can do the best I can to help him make good decisions and, see MTSG's post above, help him avoid the wrong side of life's random roll of the dice.

     

    Many prayers from Ft. Mitchell

    Covington Catholic 2016

    I can't blame anyone for quitting their job working in the school system for the Diocese of Covington. Chances are Mike Clines and Roger Foys are going to can them for "making too much money" eventually anyway. The laundry list of ex-diocesan employees is getting longer and longer. Mr. Clines chopped off a couple heads at Covington Latin not too long ago. Longtime CLS staffers. Told them the enrollment at Latin School had dropped to the point that their jobs were un-needed...and then right turned around and posted two job listings for teachers at Latin School.

     

    Zerhusen did the right thing in getting out when he could.

     

    What a joke. Nothing like lopping off your best/most dedicated employees!

    I understand Zeus has taken a job at Seton in Cincinnati, and will no longer be working at Cov Cath in any capacity.

     

    Wow. If true, that's a huge loss for the CovCath community. I had him earmarked in a decade or so for the fourth spot on the Colonel Mount Rushmore next to Coach Ray, Krumps, and Larry Lloyd.

     

    But seriously ... can anyone confirm?

    The Most Painful Loss Your Team Ever Took?

    in KY Football (High School)

    Posted

    Judging from your posts, I'm going to blame it on youth....but I have to disagree with all three of you.

     

    The Rockcastle County loss was tough because we managed to get past Highlands only to lose in the semis, just short of playing in Louisville. However, that wasn't a first time for that. Same thing took place in 1991. We didn't even have to play Highlands in the playoffs because the Birds didn't make it that far (and we beat them 21-6 in the regular season). But anyway, we beat Greenup County 34-0 in the first round, Montgomery County 29-0 in the second round, and Ashland Paul Blazer 41-24 in the third round, only to lose in the state semis 3-12 to Dudley Hilton's Bell County Bobcats, who went on to win the AAA championship that year.

     

    Also, yes, every loss to Highlands burns. However, no Highlands loss burns so much as the one in the 1992 playoffs. Cov Cath came into the third round of the playoffs with a 12-0 record, 15 individual and team records broken during the season, and what may well be the best team ever fielded by Cov Cath - this was also the year they shocked Cincinnati Moeller by handing the Crusaders a 22-17 loss at Moeller. The Colonels had beaten the Birds in the regular season by scoring 20 unanswered points in the 4th quarter to win 41-21. Cov Cath's quarterback, Adam McCormack, even had his picture on the cover of the KHSAA program for the football state finals...which the Colonels never made it to, because Highlands handed them a loss at Wooten Field in the rain and mud, winning 14-7 and ending Cov Cath's season with a 12-1 record. And THAT was the most painful loss Cov Cath ever had.

     

    So, I was a starter on that 1992 CovCath team and, to be honest, there's not a week that goes by that I don't think about that game and just how deeply devastating that loss was for all of us...players, coaches, support staff, families, fans, etc.

     

    Just thinking on it as I write this post, it hurts. The field was just an absolute quagmire after a heavy rain the night before. My recollection is that the Birds scored on maybe the first drive of the game -- a ground and pound time consuming drive. I recall just how well John Schlarman and I wanna say Drew Meyers (center)? and the right guard (Arnsberg...can't recall) played on that drive.

     

    Then I think they scored on a fluke punt return (Brady Grimm?) right up the gut on us. We were shocked. Our offense was led by McCormack, but really, the key to our success was a gigantic, powerful offensive line. We just steamrolled people...but not that day.

     

    On a dry field, I don't think they would have ever beaten us. We were more athletic, more offensively dynamic. The stars just aligned, the right amount of rain fell and their offense really did push us around that day.

     

    I also recall just how devastating it was for Lynn Ray. He was very quite and very in the shadows for weeks after that. Some of our guys that could have gotten scholarships if they had been seen on a larger stage..didn't. Some coaches ended up leaving afterwards...and I think a lot of it based on the aftermath of the loss.

     

    If anyone has pictures or game film of this game, I'd really appreciate it and I know a lot of us that were on the field that day would also.

     

    Sigh

    Highlands 7 Beechwood 1 (9th Region Championship)

    Sorry for the sudden end to the updates! Both my phone and my gf's phone died on me.

     

    Very impressive effort by Doty/Raisor/Birds tonight. Wish nothing but the best for the boys in their quest for a state title.

     

    Heartbreaking way to end the year for those Beechwood kids. What impressive young men and careers they put together during their time with the Tigers.

     

    And...MAKE SURE YOU RETURN THE FOUL BALLS TO THE FIELD!
