Congratulations to Dillon Smith of Ryle. He accepted a scholarship from UofL. Well deserved!

Ryle over Beechwood 8-2 today. Nice win, Raiders!

Nice win for the Lady Raiders!

I think you have the scores reversed.

Side note. When he was the Head Coach at SK, Noel Rash was an assistant for a year or 2.

I think Ryle got significantly better too. Bryan Station certainly got better as well.

Bryan Station is significantly better than Cooper, CovCath, BG, and CAL (Highlands too). As a Ryle fan, we got to see all of those teams up close (except BG). Different levels to this game and those teams aren't on their level.

Very impressive!

From what I’ve seen on film, Station deserves to be the favorite in this one. Ryle has their hands full with a potent run game and great athletes at the WR positions. Hoping the Raiders keep it close and find a way to pull another one out in the end!

Wow. Didn’t expect this. Raiders rolling!

Now don’t go putting words in my mouth! I was referencing the games they scheduled. It should be a great game. Another toss up for sure! For the record, we were all pulling for BE last year. Incredible run! Good luck tomorrow night. if you’re looking for a sports bar, I’d suggest Barleycorns, Blind Squirrel, Wings and Rings, or Longnecks. All are solid. There will be an unofficial tail-gating area going on near the field house. Feel free to come join. We won’t bite.

As mentioned, Ryle had no cupcakes. 8 of their 11 games they were underdogs or at best, evenly matched games. The other 3 were Campbell County, Conner, and Great Crossings who aren’t push overs. I would assume that with a weaker schedule, his All State #’s would look even better.

I did edit because the term he used was “highest” when discussing his negative cherry picked, seemingly off topic stat. QB metrics can be very deceiving. There are many to choose from. He chose to bring his TD/INT one from left field in response to someone else’s nice overview of NKY’s top QB’s. It seemed like a dig at one of the state’s top QB’s to me.

Really? RO first used a cherry picked metric to apparently undermine his season. Maybe I misunderstood, but it certainly felt off topic and like a shot. If it wasn’t, by bad. All those QB’s had great seasons.

OK, thanks for all the data. I'm sure Mr. Verax will be glad to know someone's out there using metrics to highlight how he's LAST on the list.

He also played a much harder schedule. Safe to assume his TD's would be significantly higher with similar SOS as others in NKY. Harder to get in the end zone vs faster, better players.

Congrats Dixie!

Don’t disagree he’s a good choice and a great player, but the facts are: Ryle won the district, had a much harder schedule, and rarely do you see a QB who leads the state in those stats get snubbed. I’d feel differently if SK won the district.

Logan Verax? Leads 6A in passing yards, completions, 2nd in completion % vs one of the toughest schedules in KY. Should have been a no brainer!

If Ryle continues to play like they did vs Dixie, they belong in group 2. Especially if PRP is in. That was my point.

That looks about right. Ryle had a good showing vs Dixie that makes me think they could be in Group 2. They are also higher than PRP and Bullitt East in RPI and CalPreps, so Madden isn't the only one who places them there.

Looks right. Would love to see Ryle vs Beechwood. Preseason scrimmage was very close. Would be an interesting game.

Congrats to Beechwood. Great season. Wish Ryle could have stayed healthy this year. After beating CCHS they have been playing without multiple key players. Great job by their coaches keeping them in the mix!

I only like a playoff when needed for Frosh. If one team stands alone undefeated (like last year) then what’s the point? By the end of the season, the better players are finding their way onto the JV/Varsity teams. Many of which aren’t permitted to play, so technically it’s not the best players/teams anyways. This year’s “bowl-like” format seems to be the best of both worlds. Allow a champion be crowned without having unnecessary first round blowouts. However, if I coached a team that ran the table, I’d prefer those kids have a week or two of JV/Varsity experience over additional Frosh games.
