It is at the same location as the current field. It is being reconfigured to make the track a full 8 lanes and to be able to have Lacrosse. It is located at Tower Park on the South end of Fort Thomas. It is about 2 miles from the High School.

Was interested on the NCAA eligibility as well. Saw this on their website: OTE also has a scholarship program that allows certain prospects an alternate route within the league to maintain college eligibility, receiving up to $100,000 to put toward tuition should they change their mind and want to play in the NCAA. Rob Dillingham played in the league prior to UK.

When the Birds and Raiders 1st scheduled this scrimmage in 2022 I thought it was odd as well. This will be the 3rd time they have done this and it actually works out well. As mentioned earlier, the 2 coaches have a good history. This isn't setup fully as a real game/scrimmage. They usually start off with Oline vs. Dline work, situational and special teams. They usually do a quarter or 2 of full go but QBs can't run or be touched. Both teams run pretty vanilla stuff but it allows them to get specific work in different areas. I feel like both teams benefit from it.

According to the KHSAA website, Boone beat CCH 10-0 in 6 innings. Someone transposed the scores it looks like. All 3 of those guys mentioned above are dudes. Enjoy watching the play.

This is what Highlands is using. I believe they will work with the schools on cost. Watching the 1st scrimmage, it certainly picked up the pace of play which is great. Agree cost could be an issue for some schools.

Will be a good early test for both teams to see where they are at!

Having lots of options is a good problem to have. I would not say this X post is fake just that none of the national recruiting sites (Rivals, 247, On3, ESPN etc. ) have it listed. UK has offered 2 QBs in the class of 2027 so it wouldn't be crazy. To your point, almost all offers made to Freshman are Non-Committable as they want to see how they progress!

It would surprise me if Queen started. He was 2nd or 3rd string for the Elder Frosh team last season. He does not have any offers as of now. I agree with JOAT on Clukey. I do think O Line is his more natural position but definitely thought he was being considered as a TE. Looks to be a deep position for the Colonels.

I believe there is a coach in Park Hills that has a home in Cold Spring and a child at Brossart. Free tuition 🤣

You would think Brossart has a candidate in mind if you push Wiggins out. Makes no sense otherwise.

4 teams on Highlands regular season schedule are in the final 4 of their respective classes. Cov Cath, Raceland, Cooper and Lex Cath. They also played Ryle that advanced to round 3. The teams on their regular season schedule have won 15 playoff games.

The larger schools (UK, UC and UL) have been talking to him as a TE. His Wofford offer is as a TE. I assume more TE offers will be coming.

NKY is loaded with really good players right now. Glad they are getting noticed and offers. Free School is Cool!!!

I have only seen a small amount of their offense but they seem to run a spread formation but do run it up the middle a lot. They average around 12 pass attempts per game and 30 rush attempts per game. They do have the second leading rusher in 5A from a yardage perspective.

It is true. Call it whatever you want but Dixie's staff was calling out the plays during the first Varsity meeting and the JV game. Having the signals didn't seem to matter much in the first game. But for that reason, HHS decided to huddle before each play. Didn't slow them down much at all. Dixie also sent film last week with plays removed from both games for some reason which seemed odd.

Looks like SW now has turf so not as big of an issue but Steady rain in the forecast Friday afternoon and dropping temps in the evening could make things a little interesting.

Looks like the state has set ticket prices at $6 for everyone and I checked Event Link and there is an 85 cent fee so $6.85 per ticket.

Here are the top passing teams in NKY with their leading passers: 1) Beechwood - 3152 yards 39 TDs - Hayden = 3077 yards 38 TDs 2) Ryle - 3048 yards 27 TDs - Verax = 2808 yards 24 TDs 3) Highlands - 2852 yards 45 TDs - Benke = 1578 yards 24 TDs - Litmer = 1099 yards 20 TDs 4) Cooper - 2712 yards 39 TDs - O'Hara = 2708 yards 39 TDs 5) SK - 2316 yards 18 TDs - Lee = 2245 yards 17 TDs 6) Cov Cath - 2180 yards 26 TDs - Pitzer = 2141 yards 26 TDs 7) Dixie - 1755 yards 21 TDs - Gregg = 1693 yards 21 TDs Top 3 players (Yardage) = 1) Hayden 2) Verax 3) O'Hara If I missed a team, my apologies!

They can be purchased at the gate as well but no cash.

I believe O’Hara is a sophomore and Ryle also shut them down pretty well. I also don’t think throwing it 50 plus times and abandoning the run will work in this game like the HHS game. Who can prepare and adjust best in a week and make in game adjustments will be key. I feel This is a 1 score game either way.

Most intriguing game of round 2 for me. Two very different styles of play. In my opinion, even though Cooper is effective throwing the ball, they need to establish the run game a little bit. They will also need to efficient and score on most drives as they won’t get as many possessions as usual. I felt Lex Cath established the run vs. Scott Co. and it really helped them in that win. Scott co. Is tough to prepare for in a week but Cooper did see them last season. Should be a good game.

Looking at 5A Team Defensive stats for Dixie, it says they have only given up 374 rushing yards all season. I know Highlands rushed for 421 against them in one game. Something isn't right.
