I was thinking the exact same thing. Cooper's projected starters (IMO) are going to be:

Kunkle

McNeil

Runion

Walters (part-time starter last year)

Baker

(or Holy Cross transfer Houston)

 

Who is he replacing?

Starts in front of Baker (superior all around player IMO) and likely Walters (more physical and better rebounder).

Better fit for Cooper’s style of play than Houston - gets up and down and moves better laterally than Houston (good player but heavy footed).

I think he’d be a great fit at Cooper facing the basket - but it’s all hypothetical- kid’s at Cov Cath and is staying at Cov Cath.

Fleek is and has been under-appreciated IMO. Would star at Beechwood and start at Cooper. Very, very good player - even with CCH's talent I don't understand how he won't see the floor this year.

You have to score points to win. Which means Michigan is in trouble.

Michigan would love a low scoring game - control the ball on the ground, keep it away from PSU's offense.

Unfortunately, MSU showed the world how to stop Michigan, and if Harbaugh panics like he did against MSU this one could get get away from Michigan.

PSU 20

UM 6

Campbell County is a good team. Their offense will put up points - strong running and a nice passing game. They can spread the ball around.

I do think SK will be able to attack CC on the flanks and down the field. Shearer's passing will be the key to this game.

Does the scoreboard go out to 3 digits? Cov Cath could put 100 up.

Game wasn’t as close as the final score might indicate.

Is this game being played at CovCath?

Yes

35-0 NCC with 6 minutes left in first half.

The reason SK gets so much scrutiny is due in large part (IMO anyway) to how SK fans - unencumbered by facts - continue to play SK up as a viable state title contender. Buffet would call it irrational exuberance.

SK is not a state title contender this year.

Regardless - with playoffs approaching class-level rankings become more relevant.

She's an NFL beat writer. He's an idiot if he doesn't think an NFL reporter knows about, you know, football.

Beat writer for the Newton's team, no less. Can't be the first time she's asked a question and he HAS to be familiar with her. Just an idiotic response.

Duplicate post.

I watched via webcast this past year - really was a terrific way to see the games without having to make the trip, pay for tix/hotel, etc.

I admit that makes me less of a fan than some, but I felt the pay-per-view option was very good value.

I'm curious if anyone else took this same approach and how you felt about it.

Just bullying the coach - his kid will be back - somewhere. As much as the shoe companies sponsors teams and tournaments it's hard to get a game during the HS season.

CovCath.

This - great scheme, a handful of playmakers, great QB.

Miles is an elite athlete. He will play D1 and you will watch him on TV. Kelch is 6'8 with a good offensive skill set, and a great kid. However, he can't guard a small forward or power forward at a major D1 school. Miles has the athleticism to guard either. Kelch's academics qualify him to play for a military branch. Miles will not have the grades to play at that level(no rap on him, most don't have those grades)

Stanley is better than any of SK's guards - not close. He was all region for a reason. Clinkenbeard is good as well although he lacks the athleticism to be D1.

It should be a good game, either could win, I like WV.

Miles' ceiling is extremely high - he will get plenty of D-I offers before it's all said and done and be a very good D-I player. Long, athletic, competitive - great defender and and his offensive skill set is expanding rapidly.

I wouldn't be surprised if he puts up very big numbers against Kelch - and all other teams - this year. Walton Verona could be in for a special year.

The injured player was #26 Senior WR/DB Jake Massie. From what I heard from someone on the field, he landed on the ball after a reception and was apparently coughing up blood. Haven't gotten any updated info, but I think the trip to the hospital was more precautionary than anything.

 

Hope he's ok. He's had quite a season this year. One of those incredibly valuable versatile PRODUCTIVE player in all aspects of the game. He may not be one of the name players, but he certainly is one of the key cogs in the Tiger engine.

Coughing up blood seems like a pretty legit reason for an ambulance ride...any sort of internal bleeding needs to be treated immediately. I hope the young man makes a speedy recovery.

Conner wins the first half.

Campbell County wins the second half and the game.

Lack of half time adjustments doom the Cougars.

Conner at #8 and NCC at #6? Interesting. The loss to Dixie still hurts...

Conner beats CC this Friday and they deserve a healthy bump. They aren't top 4 material but this 5-10 listing will likely change week-to-week.

Shooter - Frederick

Defender-Faulkner

Ball Handler - Harmon

SHot Blocker - Pearson

Dunker - Scrubbs

Scorer - Kunkel

One thing is clear from this game - Beechwood can compete for a state championship.

Most people would look at this game and say - "6A vs. 1A - should be an easy victory for the big school."

Some people would say - "SK is an elite 6A team - should be a blowout."

I say - "some things are true whether you believe them or not."

Ryle played with a great deal of pride, determination, and composure last night.

Ryle doesn’t believe in moral victories but the team and community should be very proud of how they played last night.

I was sitting in at my computer and I thought I heard the announcers saying it was the right call confirmed by replay.

 

In real time it was so close. I jumped up screaming TOUCHDOWN!

My initial reaction as well. Great job by the Ryle staff and team recognizing the spot and lining up to spike the ball so quickly. Really impressive - they gave themselves a chance to win the game.

All I can say then is get ready to watch the ending to a great Soccer game.

 

Wake wins! Wake wins!

ACC soccer...conference play is a meat grinder.

It was really close.

 

I plan on replaying it.

The replay showed his elbow and the ball touching down at the one-foot line. If he'd stretched the ball out it's 6. Same could be said about the last play. Looked like he didn't get possession cleanly on the sneak and got swallowed up.

The spot at the one-foot line was good.

2 different games. Beechwood had a 3 down linemen against CovCath. They had 4 down lineman against SK.

Mmmm...

Mmmm...

Never mind...

I felt SK was over-rated coming in to this game and I still feel that way. Beechwood is a very good team, but CCH ran over, around, and through Beechwood - better personnel, better schemes, and better execution.

It sounds like Beechwood played much better tonight.
