HIGHLANDS GUY

Trinity will win 6A quite simply because of Glaser's inept offense. It will be a sad day for Trinity fans the day that Glaser retires.

Mercer needs to merge with someone else to get back on top.

Which made me think of another question (probably should start another thread), but how much really different is Cov. Cath right now now than they were two (2) years ago. Through the same number of games Dave Brossart was I think 8-9 and I believe Wirth is 9-8. The schedules are similar between the 2 year periods with one notable exception, Elder a game that history says was not winable for the Colonels was replaced by Lex. Cath a game that was winnable. All in all goes to show you that: - The 4 year swoon at Cov. Cath. is more about the talent level on the field than who was on the sideline. - Coach Rodenberg got out at exactly the right time and probably knew what the next few years looked like. - Help appears to be on the way with the Colonels 9th and 10th grade classes, but that doesn't mean next year will be much better than the past 4 years.

QS ain't goinna like this post.

How long has this been happening? This is the first time I have heard of it.

Just for the record, Beechwood does not have spring football.

Which has little to do with my point. The KHSAA isn't sanctioning those other sports "out of season" activities, in fact the KHSAA has at times goes to great lengths to insure that high school coaches have ZERO ability to instruct kids out of season. So a soccer coach can't even attend a club game his players are participating in, but a football coach is granted a special window cut out for them to coach? Where is the logic? If it is good for a soccer player to have a "season" where they are free from the influence of their HS coach, is it not also good for a football player to have that same benefit? There is disconnect as to how the KHSAA is treating football as opposed to EVERY other sport.

One can argue that basketball, baseball, soccer, volleyball etc. are year round and they certainly are at the club and AAU level (not at the prep level), however, there is only one sport that the KHSAA has granted a special, out of season, privilege to practice.

Mediocre Highlands team???? - This has been on the board almost 12 hours and not one reply from the Bluebird Nation. I am shocked.

Southwestern High School is proposing to allow spring football practice to happen any three (3) week period after basketball season, but prior to May 30th. This will be considered by the KHSAA Board of Control on 9/20 and would go into effect next year.

How did Madison Central get so bad?

Perfect queston for a Colerain fan to be asking.

Lots of love for the Camels. Other than Dumane did they not lose that much? I would think replacing her would be awfully tough. That district with Highlands, NCC, Brossart and Campbell County is so tough.

Softball is the only thing that NDA hasn't been traditionally very good in. They haven't been dominant in basketball most of the last 20 years either, but have been much better in recent years. But other than that, they have been very good in virtually every other sport that I can think of.

I agree. I don't care how good of an opportunity LCA was, you just don't do this professionally especially when kids are involved. This is less than exlemplary.

I know that if you finish in the top 2 at regionals you go to state, but how do all others qualify? Is there a time standard that you need to run below? Do they take the next x number of fastest? I looked on the KHSAA website, but I couldn't find the answer.

I would not be surprised. The only people who would be surprised are those who think non-soccer playing athletes could compete with kids who play the sport year round. However, I would be interesed in knowing a "run of the mill" place where you think that this would be true.

And the argument would be there are just some kids who love football more than any other sport and why shouldn't they get to play their sport year around just like..... (fill in the name of another sport here).

Huh? If the soccer kids played the football kids in football the football kids would kill the soccer kids. If the football kids played the soccer kids in socccer the soccer kids would kill the football kids. Both sports take more than just speed, although speed certainly is very important (if not vital) in both sports.

Remember seeing him play and he was a very good player. It was certainly not hard to imagine him taking over the Ludlow program and really investing in it long term. Very sad. His family and the Ludlow family are in my prayers.

It wouldn't impact many kids if this happened, however, Highlands had a young man several years ago that chose to play and star on the football field and he would have been an excellent soccer player as well. This would have served him well.

Who plays for NCC?

That is what I thought you said before. I think there is a myth repeated on the board (heck I probably contributed) that on the transfer form there is a box that says, "check here is you have any issues with the transfer", which doesn't seem to be the case.

Quickslick can speak for himself, but this was not a regular meet where individual events are contested. This is an all relay meet. Cov. Cath. may very well have the best team in NKY, but I don't think you can draw that conclusion from last nights meet.

LN: I have not gone back and looked, but I thought you told me that the "sending" schools is not given the opportunity to "protest" the transfer. Does the sending school have this power or not?
