They beat X. X tied St. Ignatius at their place. On top of that, they have an All American forward and multiple members of one of the best club teams in the country. They deserve it.

Please stop playing #27 in man if you aren’t putting a safety over top. He is the worst cover corner in the league.

Wow!

Highlands snaps a 3 game winless streak with a one to nil win over the Lancers. Senior Keegan Brewer taps in his first Varsity goal for the winner. Truly smart play by a truly smart player. Everyone counts Keegan out at the beginning of every year that I have watched him. By the end of every year, he can’t be taken off of the field due to his value. Congrats, Keegan.

Side note: The new offsides interpretation remains the dumbest rule in sports.

It sounds like a great game. Trinity may have done enough to take over #1 in the Maher rankings.

This was a hard fought battle in moist conditions at Tower Park last night. There were 2 things I took away from this game last night.

 

1. I hope the young men from Brossart realize they can play with anyone in the state as the Birds are considered #5 in KY.

 

2. Highlands can not look past any opponent if they are to make a deep run this post season.

 

Best of luck to both teams the remainder of the season.

I get it, but this was pretty dominant. Highlands missed about 12 shots in the second half. They actually worked the ball much better this game, albeit in spurts. I hope that they get the“dribble through midfield” mindset out of their system completely over the next couple of weeks. They are much more efficient with quick passing into the final third.

Brossart certainly had their chances in counter situations. They have a great shot at taking the 10th. Duffy is a load and pretty skilled.

Can you fill us in on what each team brings?

I was asking strictly about Cov Cath. The post above inferred Eddie had something to do with freshmen turning into starters as sophomores. That is something that I don't think can be credited to Eddie. That is just God given talent when that happens, especially at CCH. Eddie is a great coach, but everything that happens there isn't attributable to the magical touch of Eddie.

That is a small sample size. I think that his entire track record is a better body of evidence.

Interesting. What players over the past couple of years started varsity as sophomores?

If you include NewCath there were 7 or 8 other ones on really good teams.

Stud. Stud. Stud. Those three start as sophomores anywhere with any coach.

 

 

 

Was he at CCH last year as a freshman?

Yes, Frosh QB

Current QB.

I could not agree more. I'm not sure to what level of play in the US this has gone. This new offsides interpretation is not being used in the top leagues in Europe, so it is obviously not being mandated by FIFA. I have yet to hear or witness myself one good thing about this new interpretation. The argument "well they are not involved until they touch the ball" or "they have not committed offsides until they touch the ball" only proves one lack of understanding of the game. The only rule I've seen that benefits the team breaking the rule... only in the US?

Exactly, so if you want to kill a game, have your player basically cherry pick not move towards the ball until the very last minute and then make a play. The kick takes place where he becomes involved, not where the defensive line was held. It's basically icing the puck.

No. He is staying with a host family and finishing senior year on line.

Going after his dream. Good for him. He must be playing with Moulainne Goumbalai (no chance I spelled that correctly) fro KHA. He has been there for 3 years now. It is an awesome opportunity for sure. I hope he makes it. It would be nice to follow a Ketntucky kid.

Under no circumstance, nor at any time, is it okay for high school kids to be fighting at school or the playing field during an organized school activity. This isn't a professional team, nor are they grown men. If players were fighting at practice they should be suspended or removed from the team. If coaches were fighting at practice, they must be removed from their positions because they've forfeited their right to lead and set an example for young athletes in a high school sports setting. If the girls soccer team was scheduled to be on the field at that time, it is their time to be on the field, which is how every high school and college sports team handle the use of facilities. The safety of your student athlete's is the paramount objective as the head coach. Winning is a distant second. I don't know what truly happened here, but I do know school systems and their protocol. And if someone was hurt, Guru said it best, break out the checkbook 'cause we going to Sizzler!

I can’t agree with that. Stuff happens, especially when your team struggles. The issue is A. Swinging a helmet is WAY outside of the lines. EVERY player knows that. If it happened, then that player needs to be gone. B. Disrespect bn different programs under the same roof. A fight in practice is common and not a big deal. How the fight is squashed is key.

Was told Hollingsworth had a pretty good day. Threw 5 td passes to 4 different receivers and ran another in. That’s spreading it around!!! Great job JV Birds!

He looked awesome Friday night. Extremely decisive on what he saw and let it rip.

They did have 4-5 starters go down Friday night. Not sure of the severity I think only one came back into the game.

Huddleston tackled one of the RBs and it looked like his cleat got caught as they rolled. I hope that he is ok. He was a hard runner

Jansen the young man from Etown is playing for the Columbus Crew Academy team so he is out of the running. I have had the pleasure to watch all three boys play as my son is on the same club team as the three mentioned. And yes that team is unbelievable talented and one of the elite teams in the country. Case Cox and McManus square off against each other Wednesday. Both are extremely talented. Maybe this game will decide it.

He is driving from ETown to Columbus 3xs a week? Wow.

Wednesday??? Dang. Boys are off Saturday. We wanted to see them play. I hoped that it was a Saturday game.

Highlands won on Friday and then yesterday against Ryle.

Birds take their first “L” of the season. It was the second game in a row on a tight grass field. After going down a goal on a corner 3 minutes in, Highlands started moving the ball a lot better towards the end of the first half and again midway through the 2nd.

The boys are as athletic or more athletic than every team that they play. They have struggled breaking down teams through possession, especially on smaller fields. Today there was improvement there which was a big positive. Driving 2 hours to play on of the top teams in Indiana and being a saved penalty away from a tie, not too bad.

Let me say that the new offsides interpretation is the DUMBEST rule in history.

Something odd about the game plan for HHS. After the half they didn’t make any real changes offensively. One back set, passing to the sidelines or throwing deep twice every series. With the way the defense was playing were they trying to “force” this scheme to work?

They, by Kremer buying time in the pocket, hit on a 30 yard pass in the 1st quarter in the Middle 1/3rd of the middle 1/3rd. They ran a post in the 2nd quarter that was open and had big play potential, but just a little under thrown and well played by the corner. That was it. SK's linebackers looked like run stuffers, not the guy you want covering slots over and over on drag routes and other crossing patterns. It was a weird passing scheme.

I'd like to hear from SK players and fans that had the pleasure of the sideline. Does it make a difference, or is it all hype of where the stands and sidelines come together? Bottom line, does it effect the game at all?

Of course it does.

First game of the year for me, So help me. Has the offense limited itself to outside of the hashmarks all season in the passing game or did they see something tonight in prep for SK?

Highlands fights back twice to tie a very tough game. East Central used the home field advantage and pressed all game on the small field. Tough kids with a good coach.

I was very proud of the Birds. Both goals were goals that were from unfortunate mistakes, but they didn’t let it sink them. They showed grit.

Goals by Porter Hedenberg off of a great individual run to the end line and on another great free kick by Mikey Penrod. That’s two games in a row for Penrod with a free kick goal.

The class year or football year?

Class year.
