Jacob is a better passer. He went for 4 TDS. #12 is a better athlete, but I didn’t think that his arm had the juice. He will be a weapon somewhere though. Kid has wheels.

That was 1/2 way through Steve's Jr. year when Jeff Smith was inserted in as a QB. That was THE defining moment in recent NewCath history.

Steve was an animal running the ball and at linebacker. Eddie had one of the best Sr. years in NewCath history and then the greatest college football career of maybe any QB ever. 44-1 as a starter, 3 NAIA National Players of the Year awards in a row... Side note, they were teammates on Jr. Pro basketball teams and then again at Georgetown College.

Moeller, in fairness, created the most chances. However, Highlands took advantage of a high Moeller back line when Schweitzer found Stevie to put him through about 7 minutes into the first half. Moeller maintained the pressure through the middle to the flanks over and over again and it paid off when they were awarded a free kick on the corner of the 18. The ensuing free kick resulted in a headed goal to level it up. It was more of the same for the second part of the 1st as Highlands and Moeller mixed up their line-ups. The 2nd half was, again, more of the same. Highlands high pressure caused a few errant Moeller passes and they became more dangerous. However, Moeller settled down and again took over possession. Their main objective was to get the ball to the flanks in one-v-ones where they had a lot of talent on the left side, or use their RB to overlap on the other. He was very good w/ the ball. Highlands made a mistake by trying to dribble out of defense and were dispossessed on a crunching tackle that led to a nice shot from #18, I believe. Highlands and Moeller freely subbed again, and it was fairly even until about 5 minutes to go when Highlands seemed to turn it up a little to get a draw. W/ about 10 seconds to go, Elijah Stevie played a through ball to the outside line of the 18 that Max Farris and Moeller's RB went for. Farris beat him, but in the ensuing wrestling match was taken down in the 18 to be awarded a penalty w/ 5 sec. to go. Carter Holmes stepped up and drilled it into the goalie's left corner for the tie. My take away is that Highlands is going to be deep this year. There was very little drop off when subs came in. They also have a good combo of size and speed in all 3 guys in the top line. As one of Moeller's coaches told me, "They have 3 very tall and athletic kids up top. They are going to cause teams a LOT of problems, A LOT." Once these guys gel, and get a couple guys back from injury, they will be right there w/ Ryle and CovCath to not only compete in the 9th, but against anyone in the state...in my humble opinion.

Game ends in a 2 to 2 draw. Goals by Caymon Stevie and Carter Holmes.

They may. I've been away for awhile.

I'd like to see the rationale as well. Maybe if they are responsible for line calls? But even then, many high school coaches won't give their center that responsibility. The QB, I'd bet, calls the protection changes just as much as centers do across the state.

Losing Barry Sanders isn't close to losing AJ??? I don't know man. Danville isn't close to winning it last year if not for one of the greatest individual performances we'll ever see in all aspects of offense.

I want to see this one. I will never forget listening to Gary Ball call the 4th quarter w/ my Dad in his Dodge Dakota after NewCath's game was over. Made me a CovCath fan for life.

Actually were Co-Champs the first year. The last few....not so much. Roger Bacon and Purcell were the teams to fear.

Highlands scrimmages Moeller tomorrow at Tower Park. Game time is 7:15. Great early test to get rolling into the regular season.

Also throw in that NewCath ran the triple option out of the wishbone for about 20 years and you have fewer carries for some really great athletes in the late 70s-mid 90s.

Ran the ball w/ the mentality of a linebacker. I will never forget the last practice of the NKY All Star game prep. The safety from Newport had been talking trash all week to him, knowing that we weren't really going to hit. No pads, last day, last carry, what does Madden do? Runs right at and over him. Kind of a cheap shot, but also a closer glimpse at Madden. Funny dude as well.

A really good one opened in my building. They did the design for the build out and patio. Really good food. Grassroots & Vine - 12 Photos - Bars - 1

LONGEST GAME EVER. It was like watching Arena Football. Warren Central's QB had that long Vince Young stride. He had to run for over 200 yards that game.

This has nothing to do with the track team. This is all about The field up top isn't big enough for Varsity soccer. Simple. It isn't about being spoiled, it is about hosting an event, and then not providing a field sufficiently sized for the athletes. If he, or Rash, didn't want to change the practice schedule, then the event should never have been held there. Again, it is that simple. How can Bryson Warner permit Soccerama at Ryle w/out an issue a few years ago? How can other schools with football permit this event? Why is this year the year that they decided that it couldn't be done? I feel like Beechwood is a terrible place to host this event, but it is their turn. So, if you are going to hold the event, then you should host it correctly. What is spoiled about that? What is ungrateful about that?

Correct, if they wanted to keep it small like a showcase, they could, BUT NKAC treats this as a money maker. Comparatively speaking, more people come to Soccerama than to any other soccer related event, outside of the Regional Final. The crowd is, hypothetically, supposed to be better. Again, never been an issue at any other school that I know of.

This is held at schools that have 1 field for football and soccer almost every year. This is the first time that a Friday night game couldn’t get a Varsity sized field. It is like Beechwood football taking part in a scrimmage at an NKY event held on CovCath’s baseball field do the soccer team can practice. Makes no sense

You aren’t. Spoke with a couple others who said the same. This is about control

Ego?

Does anyone have the full schedule?

Does the outfield have lights?

Didn't Hood really mess up his knee at UK?

All it took was for me to not go down

Mr. Nieporte attended a Soccer Board Meeting on Sunday. That is crazy to me. I was glad to see him. You are right, it is definitely an engagement improvement. Day-to-day stuff??? I wouldn't know anything about that, but he is making himself known and seen. That breeds confidence.
