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!

It would shake my confidence in the program as a whole. Sure Highlands can have a down year, but not a down year that your not even competitive in games. Why are they not competitive, are there issues internally in the program? Which leads to confidence in the administration and coaches, why make a schedule this tough, if you know your going to be down. Where did all the good players go? Can they not develop their players? This is Highlands after all, not Boone County.

Lets look a little bigger, remember the incident back in the spring with another sports team? Whats really going on at Highlands?

 

 

If im a parent of a JR high/youth kid, do I really want to send my kid there with them struggling?

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...

Historically speaking, both of these ancient Middle Eastern faith systems have plenty of violence-related baggage.

It's true. ISIS and Davis worship religions that prohibits gay marriage. One of the two has been more lenient regarding the topic. The fact remains... The two depicted represent the extreme mentalities found within each.

 

I have zero problems with the cartoon

I will add that it shows the stark difference between the "extremes" of Christianity and Islam... one extreme won't sign a piece of paper and the other extreme beheads and throws homosexuals off buildings, which in my opinion says something about the current state of both religions.

This sport is going to be dead in 25 years. Just wait until all the data comes in from the massive amount of research that is now underway looking at the effects of football on cognition. No mom is gonna allow their kid within 100 feet of a football field.

How old is he? Will this end his playing career?

So, you guys don't think there is a chance the SEC gets locked out? Will it be the ACC then?

Who is in panic mode?

I have not seen Grant County play, but based on results so far, I say this district is up for grabs by all of these teams.

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

From the way things are shaping up thus far, I think it's a lock that a Big 10 team and a Big 12 team will make it to the 4-team playoff this year. Also, I think the odds are very, very good that a Pac 12 team will make it. That would leave 1 open spot, between the SEC and ACC. If Florida State (with transfer QB Golson) does well against a pretty favorable schedule, could the SEC find itself on the outside looking in come January 1?

On a partially related note, if both OSU and MSU go undefeated heading into their game and the home team wins by a narrow margin, would it be possible for the playoff committee to select both OSU and MSU, thereby leaving 2 power conferences out?

It seems the pickings are pretty slim this year, no?

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.

I love that play by Towles. Scary but I still like it.

Any final score?

Any score updates?

Congrats to Ryle on the win and on a great start to the season. As for Highlands, hang in there and stay focused on making improvements as the season progresses. One of the great things about KY high school football is that the non-district games ultimately have little to no bearing on the postseason. My hope is that the team will get some things worked out and head into the postseason with a 3-0 district record and a number-1 seed.

One last comment: I haven't read these threads closely enough to know whether it's HHS fans or fans of other NKY teams who are stirring the pot, but my advice to ALL Highlands fans on this site is to support the Birds, congratulate their opponents when they beat HHS, and don't take the bait and respond to any comments posted on this site talking about Highlands being a bad team, being over hyped, having no/little talent or being eclipsed by supposedly better football programs in NKY. Highlands is the second winningest program in the nation, has numerous state titles and a tradition of greatness spanning 100 years. It is beneath the dignity of the program to resort to squabbling during times when the team is working to find its groove.

Who kicked HHS' FG?

He didn't bench QBs, his first and second string QBs got injured.

So UL should fire their whole coaching staff? Lafayette should fire their coaching staff? Both teams lost yesterday but both team's offense improved dramatically when they stuck their backup QBs in the game.

That's typical Highlands fans at work.... Always about what they DID and not what they're doing. The reality is they are about to have a tough season.

Where is Beau Hoge on the depth chart? Is he red shirting?
