DixieChick

Congratulations to our own J.D. Dunhoft on your induction to the first ever class of inductees!! Over 20 years of hard work and dedication to Northern Ky. youth football! Well deserved, my friend!:dancingpa

Sorry Red Heat but I disagree. Mitchell is too important to this team to risk additional injury playing offense. He had to make that saving tackle tonight to stop a TD on the punt return and that was scary. His college future depends on his tremendous leg. IMO we should keep it this way.

We don't want Joe (no offense to him)..we want you GT!! For old times sake! You need to be at Sandman32's tailgate party like the good ole days so you can eat free!

Are there any SK fans out there to give us the info on this game? SK offense and defense obviously had a great nite! Important district win for the Pioneers!

In honor of Sandman32, I'll say it. Remember Dixie Heights just a few years ago? They might not have won the title...but neither did the Rocks. I'll give the nod to Trinity, but any given time and place you never know. The Rocks can concentrate on stopping Vince Murray but Scotty Gray is there too and their passing game can expose a run defense. It should be a good game IMO. Best of luck to both teams! :ylsuper:

Does anyone know what colleges are giving Vince Murray a look? He's amazing!

Come on! "Beating up" the opponents qb is not something to gloat about. Ryle has a great team and deserved to win! They are all around solid and congrats to them. Continued success on your road to the championship! Considering how I think Raider fans felt after your qb was out earlier in the season and after that tough loss last year for the district championship, I think a little less smack and a little more compassion would be in order. There are alot of classy Ryle posters here. Follow their lead please. Dixie players can be proud they gave it their all but came up short against alot of adversity. Ryle won a heartfelt game without all of their weapons also. Best of luck to both Ryle and Campbell County. Represent Northern Kentucky with pride and class as you continue your march to the 4A title! Dixie fans will be rooting for you to bring it home to No. Ky.! :thumb:

As a Dixie fan, this was one aggravating game. They had so many chances to put this one away early, but gave it away. Our d played great, only 2 mental laspes which resulted in 14 points. It was IMO the questionable decisions and lack of accuracy on our qb's part that was the difference. Joey has had numerous starts as our play caller in 1 + seasons to be making the mistakes of missing wide open receivers, not throwing the ball away under pressure (taking sacks), floating his passes and throwing too many jump balls since we have smaller receivers. I know he's young, and will only learn from his mistakes but he's been at the helm long enough. 3 ints (I believe, plus one fumble) within the opponent's 30 yd line = loss in any game. Dixie held Boone in check for most of the game, but lost IMO to Bricking's lack of confidence, or mechanics, and as has happened in most Dixie/Boone games, we fell for the trick plays that Coach Thompson always throws at us. Congrats to Boone on a big district win, and best of luck in the rest of the regular season. I'm not trying to demean Bricking in anyway. His completion percentage speaks for that. Coach Spritzky usually finds a way to right the ship at this time of the year, but I don't feel encouraged offensively with the exception of our running game. Dixie has 3 tough games left against Holmes, Campbell Co. and Ryle. I will always bleed red for my Colonels, but I feel the rest of the season will be too close to call. Again congrats to Boone. Farris is unbelievable. Hopefully we'll see you down the road in the playoffs.

I know. I have a connection too! Hope you are feeling better!

It was a scout, since the EKU coaches are in Birmingham AL for tomorrow's game vs. Samford. Anyway, EKU does look at SK intently every year since they have had such success with recuiting Matt Schoborg. I don't believe his injury scare will deter them. I just hope they took notice of Tommy Gibson while they were there.

ICN6, who broadcast the game live, said that Farris carried 41 times for 130 someodd yards. Considering he had 60-70 yards on the game clinching drive, the Raiders must have held him in check for most of the game. Hard to do! Ryle D did their job on long drives.

Congrats to both teams on a classic high school shootout! And to Tommy Gibson for his clutch td reception! We sure miss you at Dixie! I look forward to watching the replay. This game is what high school football is all about! Both teams left it all out on the field. You hate to see any team lose.

:confused: Not the kind of sportsmanship this website is about. :irked: What a great all out effort by both teams considering the circumstances. Coach M did what he felt was right, showing confidence in his offense, and more importantly, he let his players know that he had that confidence in them! It just didn't turn out the way he figured. Both teams are to be commended for an outstanding high school GAME! I knew the Dixie kids would console Tommy Gibson. They understand why he had to leave them. He is a great kid with a big future in front of him as a Pioneer.

The predicted rainy, windy weather gives the SK running game a big advantage IMO.
