Glider

Watching my son play now. Sitting on the home side at around the 20 yard line. Have the pleasure of sitting next to a nice gentleman from Kentucky Wesleyan to watch our boys play tonight. He’s given some good insight and is impressed by the team. We’ve made it!

How’s Knox Central D holding up? Couldn’t get to the game tonight, daughter’s dance recital. Go Bobcats!

Beechwood has had 154 points scored on them in their first 4 games this season. That's more points than they allowed in either of their previous 15-game football seasons. On the flipside of that, Beechwood has hung 188 points on their opponents, and currently is sitting on a 4-0 record after playing a GCL football team, two 6A football teams, and one 5A team.

Cov Cath also has a 4-0 record heading into Week 5, with wins over a pair of 6A teams and a pair of 5A teams. The Colonels had action packed and closely contested games against Highlands in Week 2 and on Friday night against Dixie, and have outscored their opponents 153-79.

The Tigers have an extremely pass-heavy offense this year and have come up with some high-octane scores at the end of their games, with an average of 47 points per game. The Colonels, who also lean passing (although not quite so hard as Beechwood) average 38 points per game. With both teams having close contests against Dixie, and both offenses with similar results against Simon Kenton, what can we expect to see when Cov Cath rolls into Fort Mitchell on Friday?

Great write up! Not to nitpick but it is 123 points given up. Still not great…

I’d be shocked if this game is within 2 touchdowns. Beechwood goes down for the first time in 2023. 

Camels in a tight one. 24-21.

I pay zero attention to country music so I looked Luke Bryan up. I had no idea that he is so successful as a singer.

I mean you’re kidding, right? @Voice of Reasonyou’ve got to get out more! 😂

Ross Hart is the easy choice here. It wouldn’t shock me if you saw some applications from previous guys, Michael Miller or Rick Shumate. Although I am not sure those would be selected for an interview. 

Really good showing by Lyon tonight. Smaller school that close. GRC could very well repeat. Props to Perry on an amazing junior season. 

13-5 run to start the 2Q. 27-25 tomcats.

So did the priest recommend Holy Cross and St. Henry as an option too, or what?

Whew. This may not be the best place to come in here as this player’s mom. You are talking to a bunch of couch slobs (me included, can’t wait to be one this weekend 🫡). 
 

That being said…coming on here and defending the move against a bunch randoms (see above) is a wild move.

Let’s dive into the actual situation at hand. @Blueboy11 I assume he has started school. How is the off-season going? Still looking to play QB?

Will these games be aired live?

Playing Devil's Advocate here, but is is actually realistic that the OC or DC will stay in place? I know both men are highly respected in the Beechwood program and community, however, let's say, for argument's sake, that Eviston is hired as the new HC. Is Eddie going to let Greg call the offense (I am acting under the impression that he called the offense under Coach Rash)? Is Greg going to be ok losing that responsibility? Same scenario if a defensive minded HC is hired. Again, I don't know, but jus throwing the idea out there. 

The DC certainly won’t be staying in place since it was Rash himself..

I would think there will be a few high profile names as well to apply. 

Names?

Wow. Did not expect to see this. Congrats to him! Any names on the short list?

@hector607 @Geek61Grandchildren is something unexplainable. Congrats on that end as well.

Give us some insight on this pick Glider. What do you know about these teams? 10+ makes it seem like you’re very confident in Pikeville. 

Well, Hector. The Panthers line is going to be entirely too much for Raceland. Pikeville has shown they are on a mission all year. It’s not stopping this week. Who do you like Friday?

Pikeville by 10+

I feel as if Beechwood’s success over the last couple of years (vs Mayfield last year) is clouding some predictions here. I would be shocked if Beechwood won by multiple touchdowns. Joe Morris is as good as it gets, as is Noel Rash. Both teams will be well prepared. I think defense rules this game.
 

I need a couple more days to think on a winner but I’m thinking we get overtime. Hopefully a couple of them..😉

Nice scramble by Lloyd QB. He looks shaken up on the play.

Thank you 

Ok

Is this game steaming anywhere? 

Really bad contain there by Trinity on the QB scramble. 

Bell County is the better team but I would like to see Garrard pull it out next week. I do like the 1-2 combo of those 2 guys. 

St. X

Pikeville

Highlands

Lexington Catholic 

Bardstown

I saw Beechwood’s MLB limp off the field earlier. Has he come back in the game? 

Didn’t look good. Had the stream on during that play. Haven’t seen him since. 

This SK team put up 44 on Highlands?
