SK is so competitive in their developmental levels that they have the varsity players do the play calling on both sides of the ball. I've seen it. Enjoy the win Birdies!

I hate to be on the fence here, but this one is a toss up. Twist my arm and I'll say HHS by 3, but this appears to be a very even matchup to me.

I saw their team photo on Twitter recently. I counted only 44 kids. That is crazy for a 6A schedule.

SK has come a long way since 2004.

Forgot to mention, the gate $ would be HUGE!

Frustratingly, the top programs (at least at the moment) don't play each other. I can't remember the last time SK and Cov Cath played. I believe this match up would benefit both, win or lose.

I think some folks in Bowling Green might disagree.

Cooper shot blanks when HHS was throwing picks and blowing snaps. A good team would have had the Birds put away at halftime. Cooper's offense was painful to watch and HHS eventually got a little confidence in the passing game and put the game away. I would not use this game as a measuring stick. This doesn't mean that HHS will not be a good team by the end of the year, but, there is nothing from that game tape that will put fear into an opponent.

Don't look for a lot of points in this one. Cooper's QB is playing out of position, and it showed against Highlands.

I remember 3 years ago when Dixie came to Park Hills. Dixie looked bad and was dismissed as a contender. 4 months later, Dixie was playing in the title game.

I did miss Himple. 3 D1 prospects from 4 large schools in 6 years? SK has had that many by themselves in the last 4 years. The Boone County schools should be producing more QB prospects. I'd like to hear the perspective of those coaching in the youth league in Boone County. Does anybody throw the ball in that league?

Other than Drew Barker, and, discounting Tad Morgan, who I believe transferred in, I can not think of many quality QBs developed in any of the Boone County programs in the 12 or so years I've been paying attention to HS ball here. I have some thoughts on this issue, but I'll let you folks chime in first

Thank you!

Score please!

Eliminate the bye week. Start games after labour day.

She probably does not get back on the court until January. Figure 4 weeks of practice before playing games and you are in February, when the intensity level is the highest of the season. I don't like those circumstances for coming back. I don't care if it means SK goes out in region.

If it were up to me, she would be wearing the coaches shirt this year.

With the exception of the Dixie team three years ago, SK has been consistently eliminated by Scott County or Lafayette. Don't you think it makes more sense to schedule opponents that present similar athletic challenges to what you are going to see in the playoffs,especially since that has been what has been bouncing you out of the playoffs on a consistent basis? I agree you can find this easily across the river in a bus ride that is even shorter that Lexington.

I would like to see Scott County and Lafayette on the SK schedule on a consistent basis. These programs are SK peer programs. I believe SK is required to play Dixie and Scott as fellow Kenton County Schools, so no blame to lay there. Once you get to the second round of 6A playoffs, you are not going to have a depth advantage any longer, so why schedule programs you can beat a that advantage alone?

Perhaps, but I buy into the argument that says cross training the body by playing different sports reduces over use related injuries and, keeps kids motivated by employing different movements in each sport. Ally's rehab is going well. She is starting to put weight in the injured knee and is taking advantage of summer pool availability by doing aquatic PT.

Success attracts athletes. Then the athletes find out there is a lot of competition for playing time, costs for success that are not willing to be paid, or can't adjust to demands of a new coaching staff, and they are gone just as quickly as they arrived.

SK is too high given 8 new starters on a defense that was porous last year and an OLine w/o Colton Williams. Connor has a shot at joining Ryle and SK as the big dogs in NKy 6A. I thought they took a big step forward last year.

Does X have enough to beat T this year? Seems this rivalry has been one sided for awhile.

How would you like to be the next coach with a mandate that your staff and roster reflect the racial make up of the school? The fact that this coach remains employed at the school says this was not an issue of misconduct and lends credibility to the assertions of the coach. I think we all know what parents are capable of.

Imagine a kicker who not only could kick deep, but also effectively onside kick! Kick two or three into the end zone, then onside kick. I bet your chances of recivery would be pretty good!
