Pretty sure they just beat the varsity and JV as well.

Definitely not the worst I have heard ... with that said .. I have never heard an announcer get the phrase "pitch and catch" 3 times in one ... down

Curious on Jordan Whiting as a 2nd team guy? If I remember correctly... he was pretty good and well thought of. Not really questioning...but interested in the thought process.

That would Brad. Still crazy to think that Brandon Berger, Joey Johnson and Brad Wulfeck all went over a 1000 in 1991. If I remember correctly, Wulfeck averaged either 10 yards a carry that season or just under.

Yeah not so strange. Easy example ... Lickert was at Kings and one of the Cincinnati publics while he was the head coach at NCC. Not saying there are 100's of coaches each year who teach at one school and coach at another ...but it happens enough to where I can't justify "strange"

Yeah ... playing against one of the teams felt like a normal beating playing against the other team is still with me physically to this day. And to answer your question ...who cares what happened Conner, SK, Scott, Dixie? Not sure I would be bragging about all those whippings. Should we discount Cov Cath's mud Bowl victory due to it being muddy? I don't think so. Teams and coaching staffs have to be able to adapt to the conditions and overcome the obstacles that are presented. I get your point with Moeller ... I probably would have left out Newport (and yes .. I know how good Adam Brown was ...but shouldn't be in mentioned with the others). Simon Kenton? Seriously? I would get your point if it was SK 93 ... but they in 92? Sorry, they shouldn't be involved in the discussion. Boone County .. not sure I would lump them in with a Moeller win .. They obviously finished well ...at the same time they were life and death with Conner ...needing a late score to win. We could probably throw out comparisons, common opponents all day ..doesn't change the fact that the trophy resides in Fort Thomas to this day. The Beechwood game is an interesting comparison ...but in order to prove the point that the regular season vs the playoffs means not so much ... I give you Beechwood 99. Bellevue handled them easily in the regular season (23 to 0 maybe?) Beechwood won easily 35 to 0. Not a perfect comparison ...but same point ... when it comes time to survive and advance ... give me the team that survived and advanced. I think your points are 100% valid in relation to "Best team to never win a title" ... we probably aren't going to ever agree with the "who was the better team" discussion ...which is fine. Good to see Jude Hoffman's name come up. Great dude to this day.

Interesting pick. From my point of view that Highlands team was a complete wrecking ball filled with size, talent and speed as well. Thinking more D1 guys possibly. Schlarman, Reynolds, Berringer (Jr), Scarlato ...playing them both that year, I was surprised Cov Cath won the first game and a tad bit more surprised it wasn't a wider margin in the playoffs (and not to take anything away from the Colonels at all). There were about 25 kids on that team and they were all tougher than a two dollar steak.

Joe Morris?

With the addition of Indian Hill to the schedule, and the question about if this was the first time the 2 schools have played one another, here are a few fun facts about Beechwood and playing teams from Ohio: In the last 50 years, Beechwood has played 29 games against teams from Ohio, with an overall record of 24-5. 2-0 vs Cincinnati Country Day (1976,77) 1-0 vs Summit Country Day (1978) 1-1 vs North College Hill (1981,82) 1-0 vs C.A.P.E. (1984) 2-0 vs Madeira (1985,86) 2-0 vs Reading (1987,88) 1-0 vs Archbishop Carroll (1988) 2-0 vs Mason (1989,90) 2-0 vs Taylor (1993,94) 1-0 vs Wyoming (1997) 1-0 vs Purcell Marian (1997) 2-0 vs Ironton (1998,2015) 1-0 vs Western Hills (1999) 1-0 vs Bishop Ready (2003) 1-0 vs Cin. Hills Christian Academy (2004) 1-0 vs Newark Catholic (2005) 0-2 vs Archbishop Alter (2005,06) 1-0 vs Lima Senior (2013) 0-1 vs Mt. Healthy (2014) 0-1 vs Taft (2019) 1-0 vs Archbishop McNicholas (2023) Some notable games, the 1984 contest against C.A.P.E. was a huge win for the Beechwood program that was still looking for their first state championship. C.A.P.E. loaded with talent, including the great Carlos Snow, that played at OSU and was destined for the NFL, before knee injuries cut his career short, and future NFL players Vinnie Clark and David Pool. The game was never in doubt, as Beechwood rolled to a 33-14 victory on their way to an undefeated State Championship. The 1997 win over Wyoming, played at Highlands in the Champions Bowl, was a big one, because it pitted the Tigers, against their former Head Coach, Bernie Barre, and a very good Cowboys squad, that featured future OSU and Cincinnati Bearcats Running Back, Richard Hall. Hall ended his career as one of Ohio’s all time leading rushers, but on this day, he scored very early in the game, from about 75 yards out, and never again threatened, as he finished under 100 yards for the game, as the Tigers controlled the game in a 21-7 victory. Also in 1997, a very good Purcell Marian team, with 2 future NFL players, in Austin King and Mike Wright, that would end up losing in the D3 semi finals, to the eventual champions, St. Francis DeSales, came to Ft. Mitchell for a big game against the undefeated Tigers. It was a rainy night, and the grass field was somewhat of a quagmire, so Coach Mike Yeagle took his big TE, Joey List, who also played a little backup QB, and inserted him behind center, and proceeded to run QB sneak about 20 times behind the Tigers massive offensive line, and the Tigers dominated the Cavaliers by a score of 33-12, in route to an undefeated State Championship. The 1998 game at Ironton was notable, for the fact that the game was suspended at halftime with Beechwood leading 21-20, the lights kept going out and eventually stayed out, so the game could not be completed. Ironton wanted to finish it the next day, Beechwood did not, so the game was awarded as a win for Beechwood. Ironton was itching for another shot at the Tigers, which they got in 2015, which was also a 35-19 for Beechwood, this time a full game in which the Red and White Tigers big play ability was too much for the much bigger, Black and Orange Tigers. The 2014 Skyline Chili Crosstown Showdown, played at the University of Cincinnati’s, Sheakley Athletic Center, against the Mt. Healthy Owls, was an electric atmosphere, offensive shootout that saw the Owls hold off a late charge by the Tigers and pull out a 40-34 victory. The Owls, led by their QB, and current NFL RB, David Montgomery, jumped out to a 28-0 lead, before the Tigers started hitting them with some haymakers, with big play after big play, to climb all the way back to make it a 34-27 game, midway through the 4th quarter. The Tigers had the ball in their own territory, with a chance to go down and tie the game, but the Owls had a young safety, by the name of Bryan Cook, the same Bryan Cook that just signed with the Bengals, who picked off a wheel route by the Tigers and returned it inside the 10 yard line. The Owls punched it in to go up 40-27, but the Tigers were able to hit on another big play to cut the lead to 40-34, with under a minute to go, but the onside kick was recovered by Mt. Healthy and ended the ballgame. The matchup against Indian Hill, has potential to be another classic, as it will match up, two very good teams, each led by big time talents. Beechwood being led by their highly recruited superstar Tyler Fryman, as well as Emmett Queen and Nathan Pabst, and Indian Hill is led by their highly recruited superstar, QB/Athlete Devlan Daniel. Should be a great night in Ft. Mitchell!!

No, this will be the first time.

Big Day for Beechwood boys Track and Field Team. They set new indoor state records in the 4X800 relay, the 4X200 relay team broke their own state record, led by Tyler Fryman, Nathan Pabst, Brody Aylor, and Hudson Edwards. Tyler Fryman broke his own record in the 200 meters, and just missed setting a new record in the 400. Fryman brought home 3 Titles and a Runner Up in the 4X400 relay. He is now about a 6 time state champion in Track, as well as a State Champion Football Player and super accomplished baseball player. Great day to be a Tiger!

Update for Tyler Fryman recruitment, he now holds offers from: Cincinnati Kentucky Louisville Notre Dame Arizona St Memphis Ole Miss UConn Wisconsin Miami, OH Toledo Wake Forest West Virginia Purdue Illinois

I think these are old numbers, the most recent numbers show Sayre around a 4 year average of 156 boys, which with the multiplier, will probably land them in 2A.

Cov Cath will land in 5A, I don’t think there is any chance they land in 6A.

CAL moving up to 4A, will just have them passing the baton to LCA when they move up to 3A. Under the future projected alignments with this multiplier added in, LCA may be the happiest team in the state. They bump up to a very weak 3A without CAL and Lex Cath, and they get away from Beechwood, Mayfield, Owensboro Catholic, and Belfry. LCA will be the favorites most every year in 3A IMO.
