Why was this game on Saturday night? Congrats to Cooper.

That last sentence you wrote scares me. Highlands needs its best male athletes playing football...

Anybody know what the final score was?

Any word?

So, is HHS not playing Dixie this week in frosh football?

Woohoooo!!!!! Go 'Birds!

Boy, that would be pretty awesome if they take state, huh?

Who will Highlands and CovCath have to play in the postseason in order to get to a rematch?

Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss! Go 'Birds!

Any word on the result of today's HHS-DH JV game?

I want to offer the following to the current Highlands football players and coaches... A lot has and is being said and written about this year's Highlands football squad that I am sure is frustrating and disheartening for not only the players and coaches, but also the fans. There is much discussion about why the team is currently 1-5 and how the 'Birds are having a historically disappointing season. I have no connection to any of the players or coaches at Highlands, and certainly have no insight into why things are going differently for the team at this point in the season compared to previous years' squads. With that said, I challenge all of you to work your hardest and try your best to change the narrative of this year's story, as you are in a very unique position to become legendary in Fort Thomas in a way that previous years were not. You have the opportunity and the privilege to be remembered by future generations as the Highlands team that started the year 1-5, including 3 running-clock mercy rule games, and rallied to... who knows?... win its district over archrival CovCath, win the region, or why not?... capture a state title. I am sure all of you are tired of hearing about the amazing feats that Highlands has accomplished over the past eight years. Well, right now you have the opportunity to do what none of those eight great Highlands squads that preceded you had to face: to win at a time when your backs are truly against the wall and everyone has written you off. I don't know what this team is capable of, but I can assure you that if you are able to meet the challenges that await in district play and in the postseason, you will be remembered for a lot longer than the previous eight Highlands teams. Many people are saying this year's Highlands team will make history in a negative way, and I challenge you to prove them correct by half: to make history, but in a positive manner. Go 'Birds! Cordially, Your biggest fan in North Carolina

I heard it was that NASA was being outsourced to China because of the lack of homegrown American engineering competence.

Thanks!

Guru, do you know how this DeSales team compares to the DeSales teams of the mid-2000s?

Any word on this game played tonight?

Trinity will beat Male in the playoffs.

Good luck to Highlands this Friday, and I wish both squads an injury-free game. I would love to see both HHS and SK go on to have very successful postseasons this year. Go 'Birds!

If you are a parent and in the process of deciding which school to send your child, and you decide against Highlands - academically the top public high school in NKY (and arguably the top high school in NKY regardless of public/private status) - because the football team begins a season 1-4 after winning 7 of the last 8 state titles, then you are an idiot...

Well, everyone feel free to include Grant County in the discussion (although I doubt many BGP'ers have watched GC play much this year).

Is CovCath's style of play similar to last year, or is it very different? I know they have a new coaching staff, and I didn't know if a lot of things were overhauled. Also, I suspect (given their performance in recent years) that there are some very good athletes on CCH's basketball team. Are any of the CCH basketball studs playing varsity football this year?

Which is the better format: determining playoff eligibility and seeding based solely on district play, or taking into account the entire regular season?

I think most people probably think that the district championship will be decided between Highlands, CovCath and Dixie this year (no offense to Grant County). For those who have watched these teams play this year, how do these 3 teams look to match up with each other when district play commences? Right now, is there much separation between these 3 teams?

This may have already been addressed, but when was the last time Trinity lost a varsity football game by this wide of a margin? I know nothing about Male or Trinity this year, but if I had to bet on who would win a postseason rematch between these two teams and my life was riding on it, I would bet on Trinity without blinking (no offense to Male, or any other team in KY).

HHS JV is undefeated.

Any final score?
