God doesn’t care about religious affiliation. But, I understand the humor. Touché.

CCH was trying hard. Highlands played inspired run defense.

May God help Highlands if anyone in Ft Thomas calls tonight a moral victory.

900+ wins and 23 state titles. They’ve beat CCH like 50 times. That’s a proud program. No moral victories.

I sure hope not. Highlands should not ever have a moral victory...unless they’re playing a professional football team.

Mayer was the best player on the field, no doubt. However, the rest of the Colonels played inspired football. The tackling was very sound tonight and when it was needed most, the O Line did a great job of helping the Colonels possess the ball and run out the clock. And, the pass protection was excellent. On D, the DBs fought their tails off and did a great job setting the edge on stretch plays. Just a really strong team effort. The kids should be very proud. They earned it and frankly, kicked LaSalle’s tail.

To further close the loop, David Wilson and Lucas’s Dad, Barry Jones, were teammates and classmates at CCH.

I’d be surprised if #1 isn’t getting some snaps on “O”, come Oct 18. Then again, I haven’t seen a snap of HHS this year, just a hunch. He’s just too good a player.

If 36 is max and assuming Mother Nature cooperates, they’d have to play .500 ball to finish with 20 before Districts. They definitely have some tough opponents down the stretch.

What’s the KHSAA mandated max for regular season games? I’d assume that in-season tournaments count against that max as well?

Thanks for posting CWB. Wonder if it makes sense to also post something in the hoops category, given his visibility as a long time announcer for the basketball games, as well THE MAN for so many years, running the freshman tourney.

Super cool. What’s 6,000-7,000 points between friends?

Rip the rim from the backboard. And if you get a hard foul, so be it.

Honest question... In the District Final, the bald assistant on Beechwood’s staff “shhhhhh’d” the Crazies after a late, go ahead basket. Is that the Beechwood Way, too? My guess is not. My guess is he is a good guy, who volunteers his time to help high school athletics, that got caught up in an emotional situation against a big rival in literally, one of Beechwood basketball’s all time moments. I’m sure the evil & privileged Crazies had it comin.

Keep dunking. I hope they dunk after they cut down the nets.

Dunk away. Break the rims.

No. They all live in Beverly Hills! They fly in for games.

Yep. 8A? More like 10A!!! Go Colonels!!!

Agreed - pretty sure he went back in briefly.

Yep. You’re right. Golden Boys!!!

No blue colored glasses. This post is far more accurate of what occurs. Officials have whistles. They govern. The players test the limits and adjust accordingly. Period.

Discussion of refs favoring CCH, dirty play and specifically calling a single player dirty is nauseating. Out of town refs last night, but now of course, the theory is that their statewide success gets them all the calls. Bologna. So tired of it. If you don’t like em, beat em.

So many tears.

The 9th runs through the 35th...yet again...

100 percent agree. He almost led Cooper back against CCH with poised, explosive post play. He’s not a great leaper, but a very quick leaper with long arms and a deft touch around the rim. Really good defender, great kid, great leader.
