1959

Seems like a stretch given there is no assigned seating and it’s going to be a packed house with folks looking to get a seat wherever they can. Good luck tho.

I wouldn’t be opposed to it, but I think it would be easier, and make more sense if there were 4 classes instead of 6. In a perfect world, I’d go to 4 classes, get rid of the RPI, have a more geographical playoff system, play the semis on Saturday at 2 centralized neutral fields, 4 games each, and make the semis an event like the Sweet 16 and Championship Weekend. I’m sure it’ll never happen. But as many have stated, by the time you get to the semis, most of the time it’s a tossup who the better or more deserving team really is. Many are undefeated and a flawed RPI is the deciding factor.

As I understand it, this is the first year in quite some time that Highlands is playing in its correct class. The school has an exceptionally large sophomore class which may have been the deciding factor in them being bumped up to a legitimate 5A school, as opposed to a 4A team playing up. Which they had been doing.

Neither are even close to moving up. CovCath is 4A and Highlands is bottom 3 in enrollment for 5A.

IMO Campbell Co has the most potential to get it done if they can retain players. That may sound crazy, but Alexandria is exploding in population and there is no other large school in the area to poach players. Their middle school teams both won NKMSAA championships this year and varsity was a few plays away from winning the district. Gotta keep building, but I see a potential 10 year window, or until another school is built, where CCHS can do some things.

They both have D1 offers, as does their QB. It’s not speculation.

You’d be penalizing all the 1 seeds and lowering an RPI that they earned during the regular season. They have no choice in the matter and are forced to play the lowest seeds. That’s not going to happen. The current method is the most fair. If you don’t like your RPI in the playoffs, do better in the regular season.

Can’t tell. But he needs to stay off the field or he’s gonna get flagged.

27-0 and NLs coach is having a conniption fit.

Are KY programs bound to the KHSAA? Would another entity be able to form on its own and draw teams to play in say an Open, All-Private or All-Public “league” or state playoff structure? I hear a lot of folks on here complaining about the KHSAA, the RPI, the number of classes, transfer rules, etc. Could someone else do it better, and get schools to buy in? I believe they could, although highly unlikely. I’d love to see someone try, for my own entertainment.

Half of the current Highlands sophomores got whooped pretty good in 8th grade by NL (HMS 8th had two teams). There were a lot of cheap shots and personal fouls by NL that night, and the game got chippy. Tonight the Birds exact their revenge.

I guess Scott Co. missed the memo that District 6 got a little bit better in 2023. Good riddance. What an embarrassment to the game.

I’m surprised, but happy to see Cooper handling this one. Next week is going to be interesting.

TD Benke. 40-0 birds :05 to play in half. Clock is running.

If you weren’t already gone, Geisler just broke one for 59 and a TD. Missed PAT, 33-0 Birds. 5:00 in Q2. 2nd half is gonna be quick.

41 yd TD. Benke to Class. Missed PAT. 27-0 Birds

Wow. I don’t believe highlands has even passed yet. 21-0. Benke easily over 100 on the ground so far. 4:05 left in Q1

14-0 birds

If you mean me, you are correct that I have not seen Scott Co this season. I didn’t assert that they didn’t have athletes tho. I’m only stating that no team in NKY that I am aware of has had what Cooper touts and lost in the second round. They all won state. I’m not knocking Scott Co, I think they’re going to win. I would like to see Cooper produce something with this roster I hear so much about. They have definitely won the Facebook and IG Championship!

Sure. I don’t know much about Scott County. Do they have 3 D1 skill players? 2 Power 5? I really don’t know. The last 3 NKY teams I can remember having a Power 5 QB and a Power 5 WR/TE didn’t lose a game. But it’s also entirely possible I’m forgetting a team that had that kind of talent and didn’t seal the deal. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t this a game Cooper has to win? They’re loaded with D1 guys, in an era where that means a little bit more due to the portal and NIL. They can’t lose in the second round right?

They’ve been at Corbin for 2 months. Plenty of time for this car salesman to get to know the boys and want to do something nice for them.

I hope so. I’ll be disappointed in humanity if there are aren’t. This is next level sleaze.

Agreed. This is pathetic. Anyone willing to give a teenager money to play for their HIGH SCHOOL team is an absolute loser. Get a life.
