If you think this year is bad… Highlands new district will include Grant Co, Harrison Co, Holmes, and Mason Co 🫠

Great effort by the Birds, just came up short. Two redzone trips inside the 10 and Highlands only came up with just 3 points. Hard to win when you can’t punch those in. Play calling wasn’t my favorite on the end of either of those drives. Credit to Elder, they did a great job scheming against Armstrong. Highlands found some weak spots but imo did not continue to exploit them. I’ve gathered over the Sphire years that they don’t like to adjust their gameplan as the game goes on.

Poll currently sits at 82-29 in Birds favor! Wow!

If, by some chance of the imagination, the overruling were to occur, when would that happen? We're almost 48 hours before kickoff. I'm not expecting any change in the decision but I imagine it would be by end of day today?

I expect to see some more of this in the Wildcat moving forward. The usage of Lorenzen needs to be figured out. IMO he is not utilized correctly by placing him at RB. Needs to be back at TE/WR and QB for Wildcat. Kremer has shown he can tote the rock and it makes it tougher on defenses when he's moving around the field/in open space.

South Warren Owensboro X Mad Central Beechwood TB - 41

I’m just as much a believer in Armstrong as any. His physical tools were clearly on display at times. However… You can’t make the “he’s a sophomore” excuse. Coaches chose him to QB & lead a state favorite team and he will have to be held to that standard - not his class. I have no doubt he will get better & learn from this game but he and the rest of the team - in several facets - will need to improve if they want to have a chance to win it all this year. Go Birds

Noticed that Kremer is also starting at LB tonight. Defense needs to force some TO’s this half!

Highlands Trinity Scott Co X Murray Tiebreaker: 59

I predict a running clock. CovCath by a lot.

I’m trending towards feeling better about the OL after the scrimmages. Ryle has a decent front but Highlands had Kremer & Lorenzen running for 7-8 yards most carries. Those two, by the way, are going to punish defenses. Then you add Armstrong dynamic play and boy, they’re gonna be fun to watch!

Choosing CCH to scrimmage is certainly a choice.. Can’t imagine the Cougars got much out of that.

Did the Cougars have a scrimmage yet? Any updates on how the team is looking thus far under Coach Floyd?

That is correct. Ryle also has two scrimmages - Beechwood on Friday & Highlands next Tuesday.

Yes. Followed by at Highlands on Tuesday.
