I think the point is there are D1 players on both teams. All made plays. You obviously happen to think the Cooper D1 players are superior to the Birds players and you are certainly entitled to your opinion. HS football in NKY IS blessed with amazing football talent and the upcoming years will be fun to be a part of.
Best of luck to the remaining teams in the state. May you finish your season healthy and strong.
I have it on good authority the Birds were running plays in, instead of signaling, because Dixie stole the signs the first game and was using them the next day at the JV game. I believe Coach Prime said it best - I can give you the whole game plan, you still have to have the horses to stop me. Dixie didn’t have the horses.
The game is on YouTube - you can search Highlands vs Ryle Freshman. It was, IMO, a dirty hit. Certainly not Ryle’s only unsportsmanlike play of the game. Definitely scary when a child is lying face down on the turf not moving. It appears he will be fine. Hopefully lessons learned across the board.
