What needs to change for Highlands to return to being a State Champion caliber team?
Verbatim? No, but it wasn't directed just at one person. There are a few on here that like to downplay the impact of the players that I listed. As for the players from Ft. Thomas that didn't go to Highlands. One major one is the Head Coach at CovCath, and then basically every good NewCath QB after that on top of many other Breds.

I don’t think they are all time #1 either, but I don’t believe Ryle was better.

Beating Moeller when they were THE show in town is still the top NKY out of state victory.

I played with Brett. Incredible all around athlete. In high school, he couldn’t match up with AJ in arm strength. Not a slight. It is an observation.

Frisk, Smith, Lorenzen, Hamblen, Smith, Nevels, Stowers, Mitchell, Harris and I believe Wrobleski. Those are 9 all state caliber players. The majority of players did come from Ft Thomas,but to say that there has been no impact from kids who attended the school from out of District isn’t true. Those are All Time greats for the program.

I lot of impact players at the start of of Dale’s run. I only know of Harris and Wrobleski at the end, but close to all of the “great” Dale teams had impact players from outside of FtThomas. I don’t see the big deal, but it has been a sticking point on both sides of the argument.

Highlands Soccer Program
This past season was expected to be a rebuild year after losing such a large senior class from the year before. On top of that, there was a change in staff and a much tougher schedule. Surprisingly to many, they easily exceeded expectations. The whole season the group improved from a direct attacking group into a cohesive unit that out possessed CovCath in the Regional Semis. That was all well and good, but it wasn't until last night when you realized how special this group of seniors was where it mattered most. During the awards, the juniors give their good byes to the seniors. At most programs, this becomes a roast session. I know that I used that time in college to put in as many rips at the senior I presented as I could. However, the juniors gave heartfelt thanks and compliments to the seniors. I found that to be a very interesting insight into the program. There was a level of respect that I don't think many places have. It really showed how this group became such a good team. They were being led by a group that commanded respect. After this, the seniors were given a chance to say their good byes. It was incredible. The clarity and ability to convey a message stretched across each one. There was a sense of selflessness within their wishing the program well and saying how much they looked forward to seeing where the program goes. It just showed why the younger classes respected them so much. They didn't lead by example so much as they led by giving. They left the program in better shape than they found it, and it wasn't due to their talent or accomplishments. Rather, it was due to the respect that they showed to their teammates and the example they left about what it takes to succeed. This was a special group and they will be missed by the rest of us who enjoyed watching them.

Daviess County vs. St. Xavier - Boys State Soccer Championship - Predictions
At Highlands, the Varsity I believe had all but 1 on some club team, but that is so obscure now. 1 Frosh on NKSA Pro, 2 Sophomores on KHA Red '02, 7 JRs. on NKSA Pro, 1 on KHA Blue' 00, and 1 on KHA Gray '00. I am not sure on our where the seniors played. That is all of the underclassman on a higher level club team.

I wish that there were more soccer guys on here just to get historical perspective at times. If X wins, where do they rank All Time? They have been completely dominant.

Class 2A Playoff Preview
They also usually don’t get rolled by Lloyd and get a running clock put on them by Beechwood. They need to find some fight. Nothing is guaranteed. If they don’t figure it out amongst themselves, then they will waste 8 hours driving to and from Glasgow.

Semi Finals
I am too. Daviess County not giving up their crown without a fight. I will be in Owensboro this weekend. I am sure that I will here all about this one. I was really hoping to see Ryle take the title.

#9 Glasgow vs. Covington Holy Cross (2A First Round)
This is why the playoffs in Kentucky are sooooo stupid. Why is Holy Cross driving almost 4 hours in the FIRST round? Why? What person looked at that and thought, “Latonia to Glasgow in the first round? Brilliant!” Insane.

That one is a GLARING error. Ask Lexington Catholic fans how good he is. Best CB in NKY.

Should the state tournament be seeded?
This and baseball are the buffers bn basketball and classification. As long as other sports are going w 1 champ it is ok.
