All Tell

Nope. But I think if basketball can just have 1 champion so should football, then maybe we'd avoid the inevitable off season threads about champion A is better then champion AA, should we have a post-playoff tournament, etc.

I don't care about more competitive, it's what basketball does. If the basketball kids all deserve to be in the playoffs and play for 1 true champion I don't see where the football kids deserve any less.

I still think it should be just like basketball. If those kids get a chance to play for 1 overall champion and everyone makes the playoff then why shouldn't the football kids get the same opportunity. I can't wait for that first round Trinity vs. Shawnee playoff game.

After the thread a while back where someone was critical of a small school for celebrating a win over a 6A school, plus with schools like Dunbar and Henderson County showing that size doesn't matter I'm beginning to believe we ought to follow basketball's lead and not classify, 1 champion. > > > > That should generate some discussion.

:deadhorse: I agree... Wait for it...

I think a stronger strength of schedule helps a team learn how to play. Several years ago I followed Iroquois. Their schedule one year consisted of teams like Southern, Fern Creek, Fairdale, DeSales etc. They had a game that year with Seneca who had a worse record that Iroquois but had played teams like Male, Manual and St. X. What on paper should have been a fairly even ball game became a blow out for Seneca due in large part, in my opinion, to their players being better schooled by having played X, Male and Manual, all of whom beat them.

They also lose their best receiver because Wright played QB. He can't pass it to himself.

Exactly the point I was going to make.

I couldn't do it. Hearing the guff they take and knowing what they get paid, there's no way. I respect the fact that they are willing to do it.

I disagree. They made some interesting calls but at the end of the night they had the stones to wave off the 2 point conversion that would have beaten us. That one call makes up for a lot.

They got this one right.

It's a big win for NCC and a tough loss for CAL but in the grand scheme of things it means nothing. It's a non-district game against a very good opponent for both teams. NCC can use it as positive to build on, CAL can use it as an illustration of their lack of invincibility other then that it's just another game.

Since the best team in the state can't be ranked it does seem to be a fairly questionable system.

There's no question that Trinity's offense has made mistakes and left points on the field but they are 5-0 against stellar competition. I'll take it.

Trinity's equipment guys just had to change Herron's jersey. It was ripped almost in half.

Depends Historically St. X of course, but when all is said and done that tends to be a fairly amicable rivalry. From a dislike for each other standpoint it would have to be Male assuming it continues when the current contract is up. Trinity really doesn't have many out of district rivals because not many teams out of their district will play them long enough to get a real rivalry started.

She has a right to her opinion, she's a bigoted idiot, that's my opinion. Forget about what she said about Trump, he's president he's fair game. She blasted viewers. Should she be fired? Probably not, BUT if a white anchor for the same network Tweeted that Obama's supporters were all New Black Panthers would that person still have a job a week after the Tweet? There's the double standard. :poop: like this is one of the reasons I'm OK with my DirecTV package not including ESPN.

Seneca is probably the worst team in Jefferson County at any level. Oldham should roll.

Also check Trinity High School | Admissions | Louisville, KY Catholic School. There used to be a link on there for an audio feed of games.

Game on. Barring last minute setbacks the game will be played as scheduled.

There are more athletic trainers at high schools every day now and therefore someone who is trained to recognize concussion so more of them are being caught and that's a very good thing. I don't think that there are more, just more that are caught and treated. While helmet technology has improved there is not now and never will be a concussion proof helmet. It's not the impact outside the head that causes the concussion, it's the movement of the brain inside the skull. That's why making the neck stronger and more stable may have more to do with reducing concussion then every changing helmet systems. After I misspoke about the importance of neck strength regarding concussion I've done some research. That may be where one of the answers lies. Anyone who says that high school kids aren't faster and stronger then they were 20 years ago hasn't been paying attention.

Pretty much. Who else should be there?

It depends on the 6A program and their aspirations.

Apparently some one took umbrage to a smaller school celebrating a win over a 6A school saying size of school wasn't that big an issue. My point was if is size is only a minor factor in a schools potential football success why is it the only factor considered in KY when classifying?

There's nothing wrong with hiring a person from within if that's the best person for the job but I think it's shortsighted and stupid to think only an "&&&" person can coach at "&&&" High School because a non "&&&" person wouldn't understand how the culture works there.
