Scott 7 Harrison County 0 (10th Region Semifinal)
The prior two meetings that Brossart won this season were by the scores of 4-0 & 7-0. I am truly impressed by the trend of the Scott girls program. They were STRUGGLING a few years ago, now they are competing and actually beating some teams this year. They are definitely my "Most Improved" NKY team this season. With all that said though Brossart will win this easily. They are just too good.

Highlands 1 Notre Dame 0 (4-2PK) (9th Region Semifinal)
It's always a great day to be a Bluebird the day after a victorious night against the Pandas. It was a hard fought battle for 80 regulation min, 2 - 5 min OT periods, and then PKs to finally get the result the Birds wanted. Highlands will play Ryle who absolutely walloped St Henry in the other Region semifinal 6-1. Championship game info: Saturday, 4:30 Tower Park (Highlands home field, just b/c they are the host site this year)

Highlands at Cooper Predictions/Updates (Frosh) (10/22)
I mean how ugly could this game get? Are we allowed to suit up like our FTJFL all-stars from 7th/8th grade and have them play this game? I pray for everyone to stay healthy in this match, that should be the #1 priority in a game like this....

Newport Central Catholic 4 Highlands 2 (36th District Final)
Here is some historical info: Since 2012, NCC has now won the 36th District Championship 5 times: 2012, 2013, 2015, 2023 & 2026 Here is the CRAZY historical stat.... Last night was the first time NCC scored at least 4 goals against Highlands since Sep 20, 2003, when NCC beat Highlands 4-0 in the regular season. For those counting there have been 45 games between the 2 schools since then! NCC had only scored 3 goals in 3 of the matches between this timespan. Congrats to NCC, now onto the Region Tournament..... @Three Blind Mice

Highlands 61 Mason County 0
Will the clock start running in the 1st half? Highlands (6-2) gets to take the anger of the loss against Elder to Mason County, with them coming to town on Friday. Mason County (5-2) got their District win last week against Harrison Co 25-0, that might be the only district win they get with Highlands and Cov Cath next up on their schedule. Looking forward to Highlands cleaning up some things and staying healthy on this one. Go BIRDS!

Elder (OH) 30 Highlands 27
There has been a TON of email traffic (from Wes) alerting students and fans to get your hands on a presale electronic ticket prior to Friday! The probability of tickets available still by Friday might be very slim. The nice caveat is the email states that if you get a presale ticket you will be guaranteed to enter the stadium, they won't lock you out like they did for that basketball game fiasco.

Elder (OH) 30 Highlands 27
The wounded Panthers limp across the river for a showdown with #1 4A Bluebirds of Highlands Kickoff: 7pm Highlands: They are currently doing everything right! Continuing to roll and having great game plans with 6 straight wins after their opening loss of the season against Frederick Douglass. Elder: is searching for a win after 2 hard fought losses against Cincinnati St X and Moeller after starting the season a perfect 5-0. These 2 teams both have played Cov Cath this season. Elder winning that game 56-20 & Highlands winning last night 38-20. Series history: Elder owns an 8-1 record against Highlands. The first meeting was 1999, last meeting was last year. The lone Highlands win was in 2011 when Highlands went to the Pit and came out with a 34-29 win. Streaming? There has been some discussion to make this game a "pay per view' live stream for a nice profit stream for this much anticipated battle. More to come on that. I have to imagine old Mark Wehry at 859sportradio is chopping at the bit to get on top of the Press Box to do this game. Who you have? I feel like this is going to be a 1 score difference game, could come down to who has the ball last.

Highlands 38 Covington Catholic 20
250 yards rushing with 5 TDs Well done!!!! The biggest question mark all off season was our OLine, a performance like last night has to get you thinking that piece might be OK. I realize it really helps having studs like Kremer, Williams, Lorenzen and Armstrong running behind them.

Highlands 38 Covington Catholic 20
Brennan, I was going to post this as well. I was not able to attend and by the time I was able to pick what I wanted to do: listen on bluebird radio or pay for Cov Cath livestream it was already 14-0. There were other factors but I chose to listen to Gavin. Wow was I impressed!!! A few things jumped out very quickly: he knew football, his tone wasn't over the top excited, he also knew Cov Cath names. Extremely impressed, if this is going to be his baby for the next 3 years I think you have found the perfect student to pass the torch onto. I'm sure you speak to Gavin often about his skill, you can tell him Frank loved it. PS. Only advice I would say is to make sure the people around him know he's on a hot mic. If you know you know.

Thank you, I was just about to say they have allowed @Brennan_Bucher in with bluebird radio in the past, but no other livestream option like 859sportsradio or 859Insider will be there I believe.
