Anderson won by 1 point. I believe it was 20-19. Birds were a little sloppy on offense. 2 Fumbles by the QBs that were recovered for TDs. Overall, good reps for a lot of young players.

Depending on the night, 3-4 players may start both ways but many more than that will play. Many on the line. Last week was an 8-9 man rotation on Dline and 6 or so man rotation on Oline with many of them playing both sides. Sounds pretty similar.

Was told today that it is nearly a guaranteed sellout. Early online sales are very strong. If you plan to go, I would not wait to purchase tickets at the gate.

Not sure which order they should go in after week 1 but looking at the schedules for the top 3, it seems like LCA will be much more battle tested for the playoffs.

Game time moved to 8pm to avoid the heat. Would assume this one may sell out.

CCH vs. HHS Frosh game this week has been moved from Wednesday to Saturday after the JV game due to the heat. JV game has been moved up to 9am. Games are in Park Hills.

Has there ever been a player in KY that has had the football triple double? Double digit TDs in passing , receiving and rushing ?

When the game was originally setup by coach Sphire and coach Bathiany, the idea was to have the game on the opening Saturday of the season and have Jr High games, a frosh game then the Varsity as the night cap. Cool idea. Unfortunately, when the actual scheduling occurred, the game was scheduled on Friday when school was back in session thus making the non Varsity games difficult to play.

Well I agree with that comment 🙂

Not really. Verax scrambles well but HHS does a ton of read option and designed QB runs now. Very different.

Hearing that QBs can't be touched/run tonight. That will impact the Highlands offense quite a bit. Will have a 7v7 feel to it. With that said, these teams meet in the regular season in 4 weeks so being more vanilla and working on other things makes sense.

Offense has so many weapons and can score in different ways. Lorenzen, Harris , Williams are a crew. On the D line you have the Benke twins on the edge and Haretuku in the middle allowing Lorenzen and Roderick to roam free at LB. This will be a real good Frosh team with many guys that play early at the varsity level.

What is the earliest Boyle and Cov Cath could meet in the playoffs ?

🙄

The information the teams have been given are that the Boys 1st round games will be on Monday 2/27 and Wednesday 3/1. Semifinals will be on Sunday 3/5 and the Championship game will be on Tuesday 3/7.

No! But…this Beechwood team is tough to figure out. Every time they get pounded by a team the first time, they win the next time they play. See Newport and HC.

Looking at those numbers, it is surprising Coby Kramer was the all tourney selection for NCC.

I wouldn't say thy had trouble filling it. They actually hired 2 coaches 🙂

Having a Senior player as part of the interview committee is a great idea. I know this was done in the Highlands search a couple of years ago. The player was chosen by the AD I believe. That player rep was able to ask a limited number of questions brought to him by his teammates. The player rep can give input on the candidates as the other members of the hiring committee would. I think it is good for the "Grown Ups" to hear from someone that is going to be coached by the candidate. Realistically, how long will this search take? I assume OC and DC will stay in place? If not, this is late in the game to be hiring a coach if many changes are being made.

JOAT doesn't like progress I guess.

I agree but Keep in mind that the AD does not do any hire/fire in Ft. Thomas. That would be the Principal and Superintendent. The Principal and Super that hired coach Sphire are no longer in Ft. Thomas. Many things that were offered have been modified or have not happened. Mr. Caldwell is still in place but he cannot make that sort of decision.

That stinks. Assuming the kids are back in school at that point, I can't imagine being able to have any games prior to the Varsity.

Also, Coach Bathiany at Lex Cath is a Highlands grad. The cool thing about this series is they are going to incorporate Jr High games prior to the varsity game. I am not sure this game will be played on 8/18 or 8/19 but the intention is to make this a continuing series on the 1st Saturday of the season and make it a 3-4 game event between Jr High, Frosh and Varsity. No Frosh game this season. It may be added in the future. Very cool idea.

78 Combined free throws shot in this game. Brossart was 24-34 and HHS was 37-44. Highlands came into this game averaging 14 attempted free throws per game and Brossart averaging 19.5. Must have been a long game.
