Still 12-7 Ballard 3:38 in 3rd

Ballard scores on last play of the half, missed PAT. Ballard up 12-7.

Ryle up 7-6 5:58 left in 2qtr

Some of it is coaching and also the lack of facilities in Boone County schools. Ryle’s weight room puts them at a disadvantage. Last years Senior group was really talented and with some better coaching they could have gone further.

My 2 cents on the game. Yes the fair catch early whistle was a terrible call. I really put this Ryle loss on the coaches. They never figured out the whole year that we could be a dominant run team. They put to much pressure on their young quarterback and he just had one of those games that he needs to learn from. Ryle's Colemire, Yowan and Savage really never touched the ball in the first half. They continued to try and throw the ball and force things. Ryle's D was up to task but 4 turnovers in the first half was to much to overcome. If Ryle would have stuck to the run I think it's a much closer game. Congrats to trinity and ryle continues to be outcoached on the offensive side of the ball year in and year out. The coaches panicked when we went down 14-3 and put it all on the ryle's young QB to bring them back.

Well deserved, no one works harder!

Whatever! SMH

No disrespect taken, Ryle is the underdog but will leave it all on the field. They have strong senior leadership and will compete, nothing to lose refers to nobody giving them a chance to win.

Ballard never adjusted to Trinity's all out blitzes. Ryle's coaching staff will need to figure how to adjust, easier said than done. Ryle has nothing to lose and will be ready but huge task ahead of them with Trinity hitting on all cylinders.

Ryle did not have any 5th year players.

They scored 9 against the 1st team D, the other scores were late when Ryle was up big. SK has a good offense just had no D.

Ryle's D will have to keep them in this game but no one has come close to scoring 28 on Ryle's D minus the 1st game of the year against Lex Cath. Ryle was able to put it all together last week and played their best game of the year. It should have been a shut out if it wasn't for a missed interception that landed in the receivers lap. Ryle will need to play a perfect game to have a chance. Weather looks great, should be a great crowd and atmosphere. Best of luck to both teams.

For what it's worth CalPreps has this game 28-20 in favor of Trinity. I don't see either defense giving up that many points.

Impressive Ryle defense last night holding Dixie to 119 total yards. Ryle cleaned up their penalties and really spread the ball around on offense. Excited to see how they match with Trinity next week.

It should be a classic tonight but I don’t see Dixie ending Ryle’s season for a 3rd straight year. Dixie has some studs but Ryle is the better team imo. Weather may be a factor which favors Ryle’s run game.
