Have any other teams scored 21 on CovCath this year?

Litkenhous Ratings
Right about the time that Trinity is back on top and Cov Cath has a few down years and people will be asking “why do they subject themselves to this sort of beating each year”.

NKY 6A "Super District" - Who wins it?
CC has given up 20 or more three times and SC has given up 20 or more five times. Their scores when they played Highlands were very similar. When looking at schedules and team info trying to pick one my 8 year old daughter simply said “purple is prettier”. Have to go with the Camels.

Beechwood 28 Simon Kenton 21
I think they are of the cusp of bigger things and have been. From the outside it appears have centered their game plan around play makers instead of kids that can make plays. When a defense only has to key on two or three guys it makes your job easier. Once they get 4-5 real threat players on each play, look out. Or maybe they already have them and they are not being utilized.

A Twisted Web: How Would You Rank These Teams?
Most years this would be accurate but this year there are a few teams that can say they beat T. I’m stuck on stupid when it comes to CovCath crushing Henry Clay that just put it on Scott County who beat Moeller and lost to LaSalle who just barely beat Moeller in overtime.

6A #7 Simon Kenton vs. 1A #1 Beechwood
Coaching only goes so far, execution is what matters. Coach can have every play from every team that has ever won a game and poor execution will override that advantage. All offensive plays are designed to score right?

6A #7 Simon Kenton vs. 1A #1 Beechwood
If there is any question on condition or ability I would sit any/all players that are going to be needed in the playoffs. This game is a big deal locally but of no benefit down the road to either team.

NKY talent of the future
I for one am glad the frosh teams you listed are all showing signs of real talent. Blow out games are no fun to watch. I’ll take a competitive Friday night every time.

Highlands is 4A they just choose to play up. I believe Beechwood is moving to 2A due to enrollment so the separation isn’t that dramatic.

Problems at Ryle?
This is what I figured. It’s never as bad as “the mill” says it is. This is why myself and a few others were saying “these things happen, get past it.” All sports are played on an emotional level and I think football especially. At this point in the year the same kids have been beating on each other for months, they are not doing so hot this season...emotions bubble over and stuff happens. Run your laps, lick your wounds and take it out on who you play this week.

They did have 4-5 starters go down Friday night. Not sure of the severity I think only one came back into the game.

Problems at Ryle?
“In my day” guys went at it at practice,you let them do their thing for a few minutes and break it up. Players usually broke it up, coaches were there to make all parties run laps afterwards. There was a definite hierarchy that was followed. If it went too far and someone was swinging helmets at players on his own team...that is a different issue. Make that person accountable for their actions. Strange concept these days.

Where would you rank BYE in 6A?
When BYE come to town these contests are so one sided the bleachers are dead quiet and there is no question about the outcome, they are lights out!

Is Godzilla dead?
Looks like a first degree heart block, not terminal but will need “a little something” to make it right.

This would be a great place to insert a reference to Reno Hightower but I’m afraid only 6 people would know what I was referring too.

Highlands 38 Simon Kenton 9
Something odd about the game plan for HHS. After the half they didn’t make any real changes offensively. One back set, passing to the sidelines or throwing deep twice every series. With the way the defense was playing were they trying to “force” this scheme to work?

Cramer still holding the ball too long. Took a lot of hits tonight he didn’t have to. When he decided to pull it down and run it worked out, needs to learn to slide though...will live longer.

Stupid penalties cost Highlands at least 14 points, could have been worse.

Hard hitting game, hope the injured guys all recover quickly.

5A #6 Highlands vs. 6A #7 Simon Kenton
Coverage sacks. He was holding the ball too long early in the game.

Campbell County was able to get pressure on him in the first half.
