This looks like a pure battleground, the highlight of the 10th region.  Predicting the Camels get the narrow victory.

It is good to see you @mrbrightside!

Thanks!  I pop up here and there, but never looking like that gif 😂

Some wild shootout football tonight!  More than your money’s worth at this contest.

Great person, coach and role model for his players!  Scott is lucky he was willing to step back into coaching.  Congrats Coach Hensley!

I thought they cleared out the student sections.  Did I just make that up?

They do.  A new student section uses those seats each game.

Exactly what I was told. I can't say if it's 100% fact, but I assumed it was since I heard it from 4 different folks in Ft. Thomas. One of them works at HHS. They're not on any committee, but I figured if they work at the school they probably had good insight.

If you have heard this from different sources, chances are good that same rumor has reached Lickert.  Would explain some frustration... He’s a top quality individual and nobody wants to be treated unfairly.

Program loyalty cannot be the reason you hire someone. There are a lot of people who are Highlands loyal that aren't the best candidate. Get the best coach. If it is a Highlands loyalist, that is just icing.

Not THE reason. A factor.  A consideration of a hiring committee, nothing more implied. Turns out for James, it was the biggest factor of all.

I can’t help but feel like a big message is being overlooked in all this.  The guy caved because of his loyalty to his home school.  At the same time, Highlands grads with deep loyalty to the program were overlooked in the hiring process.  No judgment, but something the interview committee needs to consider for future.

Class act in every way.  Great to see Coach Russell get this long term success.

This is what makes post season fun!

Congrats to Scotty!

What a great, kind and wonderful man! Sympathy to Coach Lucas’ family.
