Yet...Anderson makes it work? Most high school football offseason workouts don't start officially until after the 1st of the year. Guys may lift, but for most, it isn't organized. On top of that, you can be flexible. It only takes 3 days/week to properly strength train. Most guys are getting some sort of agility/speed work in with their clubs.

Anderson does something that I wish more teams did. They emphasize off season strength training like a college team. I have seen a couple of their players grow physically stronger and significantly more athletic over the course of time between October preseason tourneys to March preseason tourneys. I don't get why other schools are hesitant to do that.

Somebody was not happy with Friday night's outcome.

I don't know who it says more about, but I sure know who it does more for. The past few years have seen the Breds struggle in big games. Even the semi-final win over Danville was a game of giveaways. This game, NewCath MADE the plays. They caught the interception to ice the game. They scored last and held the lead. They beat a team that is arguably better than Campbell County. This is a great platform to launch the rest of the season off of. We will see when they play Lloyd and Beechwood, but I really think that the confidence boost this gives will be enormous.

3 straight downs?

Tough to get more media coverage for soccer when the coaches don't even promote it.

Beechwood authority...that nameless group formerly known as the Park Hills Mafia. Is life really that boring for Kenton County's economic elite? And...CovCath by 17

1. No. 7 scored if that helps 2. He was about 20 minutes late from what I have heard. Before anyone jumps on him, the kid has been an impeccable teammate thus far. All the stuff thrown out about him prior to Highlands has not happened. My observation and interaction has been extremely positive. As for the game, CovCath bossed the field with their possession. #20 was my player of the game. He really owned the middle of the field. I want to also say that I always enjoy the spirit that Wessels brings to each game. For the Birds, they looked really good in possession in the first half. Gish was causing problems with his runs. As the game progressed they got a little stretched. It was a good game. I expect Highlands to continue to improve and I hope to see this rematch.

Excited for a good game. Excited to see Some of the KHA guys battle it out against each other. Are you able to make it?

It was always that way. This is not new. As for coaching, I can't speak for that. I know that very few leagues get as many ex college players as the FTJFL

Stay away Irma. Birds gotta fly

So are the Birds. Momentum is starting to rise. Hopefully Tuesday happens

Last year's team was unfair.

8th, 9th and 10th Region players eligible. Who are the players that have lived up to the hype thus far? Who have exceeded it? Smallwood from the County is much faster than I gave him credit for. Add that to his size, technical ability, and sheer determination and you got a beast. Ordonez from Highlands is everything that he was billed to be. I am very impressed with his passing. Those are two that have impressed me that I have seen so far. What say you?

Yes. Physical game. I got there at the half with NewCath up 2 to 1. Highlands dominated the second half. 3 goals including Freshman Max Ferris' first Varsity goal saw it home. Really nice finish.

Blast from the past "FIRST DOWWWWWWWNNN, HOGTOWN." He was as annoying as that cannon Highlands used to shoot.

Thank you. That just shows the depth that the Highlands program has right now. In years past they may have made Varsity with a couple other current JV players. This year they couldn't crack that top 17. Once the Varsity gets that experience together, they will be a tough team to out possess. It is a luxury to be able to go 17 deep and not see a drop in production. This will be a fun team to watch gel

They have Kenton and he is a very strong player. I thought that they graduated a lot of their talent.

It screams that Scott Co had a shorter field quite a bit due to turnovers and/or poor special team play. 10 true possessions, all end in TDs with 560 yards...but 11 yards per play???

The related boys are my twins. I will show them your post. They will really appreciate your compliment. However, the last goal wasn't scored by my son. He got credited with it, but it was scored by #10. The JV game was a tale of 2 halves. St. Henry had a lot of chances in the first half. Highlands looked frustrated. The 2nd half saw the Birds come out with a new focus and really attack. After the first goal, it looked like they relaxed and played with more composure.

Ha. Wishful thinking. St Henry's field was thick yesterday. The ball wasn't moving well. It takes teams that practice on turf about 5 to 10 minutes to get adjusted. They have been unlucky the last two games. A miss hit cross goes in for a goal. Shooting shoes have failed them. Just one of those weeks. The talent is there.

That grass is a huge advantage for St Henry. Possession based teams will have issues there.

I went to the Reds game after the JV game, so I'm not sure.

Good. We need more soccer fans.

I was, frustrating night. We covered it a little in the NKY poll thread
