The Oracle

If CCH is completely healthy then I think it should be closer than 42-14, but like 92Rebel I was voting in the poll with my heart and not my head.

For sure. I don't know many stadiums in high school sports that give the home team more of an advantage.

Did we lose a linebacker for the season?

Hazard has a couple of banners. So does Seneca. I'm not sure those kids are learning very much about life and competitiveness when they stroll around under those banners these days. Folks need to call this what it is. This is NKAC coaches having sour grapes. If Listerman and Sully and company are gonna literally take their ball and go home, then so be it. CCH follows the same set of rules they do. Like you said, CCH found very good teams to fill out the sked. The stakeholders at CCH know exactly what's going on. A decent number of them don't like having kids coming from Ohio and playing for the CCH, who used to thrive off of kids from diocesan schools. A decent number of them like seeing the program's success and a decent number of them don't really care one way or the other. The school enrollment is doing just fine. If anything, with the number of kids from all around Boone/Kenton/Campbell County that go to CCH these days, I'd think that the public school coaches would border on gratitude for all the transfers from Ohio that are giving kids a reason to think about staying in their district public schools instead of going to CCH and potentially being benched when some next best thing transfers in and Ruthsatz benches him to play the transfer. I guess Sully didn't see much impact from having TJ Deere back at Cooper to lead the team in points a couple of years ago.

It's not that I don't feel for him if he thought he was overlooked. But if Luhn was the better candidate for the job, then sometimes "them's the ropes".

I'm hearing he hasn't been cleared.

You know, similarly, I've asked myself the same questions of one Robert B. Sphire. Why does someone near retirement age, living in warmer climate not far from the beach, with a better paying job and years in the Georgia public teacher retirement hopper, and experience coaching semi-pro football leave that job to come to Highlands? I guess the answers are known only unto God.

I'm still waiting to hear how the transfer QB from Campbell County is possibly eligible at CCH.

So according to what CWB just posted it looks like Campbell's schedule needs updating. Both Highlands and Dixie show a game against each other, which puts Campbell on the outs for 10/28 and then Dixie shows Campbell at Dixie on 10/14. CWB is that right that Dixie only has 2 home games?

Just had it texted to me. Covington Catholic Freshman 8/21 vs. Elder 12pm 9/2 vs. Dixie 6pm 9/9 vs. Cooper 6pm 9/16 at Campbell Co 6pm 9/23 vs. Simon Kenton 6pm 9/30 at Highlands 6pm 10/7 at Beechwood 6pm 10/14 vs. Conner 6pm 10/21 vs. Boone Co 6pm 9/28 at Ryle 6pm

Just taught myself how to edit my post, haha. Assuming game time for the freshman bowl is TBD? Also just saw that Campbell Co shows Highlands on 10/28 but Highlands shows Dixie for 10/28. I think the Campbell Co schedule came out pretty recently and I found that Highlands schedule on Twitter back in like April. Any idea which schedule's right?

I really enjoyed following the freshman football action around NKY last year. I rarely have a chance to keep track of any teams other than CCH. I haven't seen a freshman schedule for CCH yet this year, but I've seen Ryle, Highlands and Campbell County's schedules.

I'm hearing conflicting reports about Geisler's status as a Bred vs. as a Bird.

Anyone hearing what I'm hearing about where we're playing the Elder game?

Operative word: could.

I expect to see a lot more use of Hummel and Mason both. They're both speed demons and may well be two of the fastest running backs in NKY this year. From what I've seen out of Mason he was the more elusive of the two. He's going to be a major part of the defensive backfield though so I wouldn't expect him to be the entire main even when it comes to offensive running game. Hearing the Campbell Country transfer looks to be most likely to start at QB.

I'm just glad their hashtag game has made a triumphant return to elite status. #15june

Can't say I blame him for wanting to get the hell out of Dodge, what with comments like the ones from Against The Grain coming out of the Highlands crowd.

Sounds like they have decided to make nice then. I'm only going off of what he told me ?‍♀️

That'll be interesting. At the point in time that Highlands canned Weinrich, Behymer told me that Weinrich was barely on speaking terms with him. As of right now, Behymer is the defensive coordinator at NHS. If Weinrich is really headed to Newport I guess we'll see if those two can make nice, or if Behymer heads up Memorial Parkway to inquire about job coaching running backs that recently came open. Or maybe he'll surprise us all and head over to his brother-in-law's alma mater and see what the Colonels are up to.

You're right, it's just crazy of Joe to ask for prayers for his friend's kid. Shame on him.

Joe is a lifelong friend of Chandler's dad, Keith, going back to their youth basketball days. I don't know about you, but I've seen an awful lot of folks post on social media requesting prayers for loved ones and friends. Also relevant, Leann Starks (Chandler's mom) liked Joe's post on Facebook, so I think all is good here. Thanks for your concern though.
