UKBLUE1964

well a few people have gave their prediction and I know it's way to soon to be doing this but here's how I think it might turn out for LC I hope it's A lot better then I am going to predict but here's my prediction for 06

 

Aug - 18th @ Sheldon Clark W

Aug - 25th @ Coal Grove (OH) W

Sept- 1st Belfry L

Sept- 8th @ Pike Co Centra W

Sept- 15th Johnson Central L

Sept- 22nd Breathitt Co. W

Sept- 29th OPEN

Oct - 6th @ Boyd Co. W

Oct - 13th @ Ashland L

Oct - 20th @ Mason Co. L

Oct - 27th Greenup Co. W

 

I really think it can be better then 6-4 but it will all come's down to how many kids comes out and plays next year it's really hard to play in 3-A with only 20 some varsity players . I realize that it could end up a lot worse then 6-4 but I am thinking around a 500 season but I am hopping for a lot better .Go DAWGS

Why would only 20 some varsity players? Are you just talking about Juniors and Seniors or is alot of players who played last year not coming out this year?

Lawrence County has had several good players throughout the years but not one that stands out but here is my short list:

Mike Ryan

Sam Sparks

David Michael

Kevin Ferguson

Brian Skaggs

Eddie Vinson

Phil Ratliff

Glen Robinson

Spencer Harris - My personal all-time favorite.

Gerad Parker

Derrick Endicott

I bet Rocky Adkins was in attendance at this game and was tickled to death about this victory.

Aug - 18th @ Sheldon Clark Win

Aug - 25th @ Coal Grove (OH) Win

Sept- 1st Belfry Win

Sept- 8th @ Pike Co Central Win

Sept- 15th Johnson Central Win

Sept- 22nd Breathitt Co. Loss

Sept- 29th OPEN

Oct - 6th @ Boyd Co. Win

Oct - 13th @ Ashland Loss

Oct - 20th @ Mason Co. Loss

Oct - 27th Greenup Co. Win

Since I have seen a couple of my ideas already mentioned,(open week and less playoff teams), I will say this.

Change the OT rules, by having a team start from the 20 instead of the 10.

Lawernce Co. Open's the 06 season with Sheldon Clark Thier hole Schedule is on another post . Thier second game is with Coal Grove.

Yes Sheldon Clark is LC opener, but Ohio doesn't start their season until Kentucky is in week 2. This would be Coal Groves opening game for their season.

Wow, what a schedule. No one can say even though Lawrence has had a few down years in the last 6 or 7 years, that they don't play anybody. I thought they might keep Ironton, but with the Tigers joining a conference maybe they can pick them back up the year after.

Here is a pic of ST. X with the championship trophy.

CHCA lost in the Division V title game to Hamler Patrick Henry. I think the score was 42-30. Not bad for a school that has only been open for 10 years!

Yes that was the score but it was 28 - 0 early and CHCA had cut it to 35 - 30 in the 4th when PH held them to a 3 and out deep in their territory. And then PH scored the next drive to seal the win with about 2 minutes to go.

Plus it was freezing cold at the game. Just look at this pic of a CHCA player.

I don't think they've lost them. Garry McPeek has coached Indoor Football in Lexington (I believe) for the last couple of seasons.

I know but only as an assistant, now he is Head Coach, which would seem to be almost like an office position along with football duties. I personally can't wait until Garry brings his team to Troy, Ohio which is not very far from me about 35 minutes away. I will make the short trip to go see him.

BTW, if Coach McPeek is reading this, sorry for beating you in fantasy this week but I needed this weeks win to keep my playoff hopes alive.

Boyd County has lost two coaches, Garry McPeek and Nate McPeek have taken a job with a new Indoor Football team in Huntington, WV. Now I guess they could still coach High School but it would a huge strain on both.

Russell had a couple of former LC players help them prepare for OCath. Here is an excerpt from the Daily Independent.

"Russell's defense got a glimpse of what was ahead in practice this week when former UK receiver Gerad Parker and Alan Short visited one day.

Parker ran some of the routes that the Owensboro Catholic receivers were going to run against the Red Devils. He also brought along Alan Short, a former Lawrence County quarterback, to throw it to him." :thumb:

It is great to see all of East Kentucky get behind one team and cheer for them. This is what makes Kentucky High School football so special.

CHCA had quite a comeback being down 28-0.

 

It looked absolutley freezing cold at Fawcett Stadium.

It was cold check this pic out of a CHCA player at the game.

I just got in from my companies Holiday Party and seen this score. :eek:

WAY TO GO RUSSELL RED DEVILS

Congrats to Coach McGlone and the whole Russell staff.

:dancingpa :dancingpa :dancingpa

D-II Toledo Central Catholic 31 Canfield 29

Day one is done and I can't wait until tomorrow for 3 more games.

D-V Patrick Henry Patriots 42 Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy 30

CHCA trailed only by 5 in the 4th quarter in this shootout when PH held them to an 3 and out , PH took 4 minutes off the clock in their final TD drive to seal the victory.

One side note so far in two Championship games:

Public schools 2 , Private schools 0.

I believe Billy Goldsmith will have the LC Bulldogs lifting hard all winter especially those young lineman and the QB.

Is St X. going to win the title in two states?

Very well possible. :eek:

D-III (15-0) Steubenville 28 (10-5) Columbus DeSales 7

This game was tied at the half 0-0. DeSales too many turnovers in the second half and inability to stop Steubenville QB who had over 150 yards rushing and 2 TDs. He had less than 400 yards rushing all season but had his biggest game today. DeSales which ends up 10 - 5, had to beat Ironton in the final week of the regular season just to get in the playoffs and beat them in the final minute of the game.

The Tigers aren't running the ball on that Xavier defense.

 

4 in a row for Cincy!

Last week against St. Ed , the Tigers showed a pretty good passing game.

I am going with the Tigers in the D-1 game

I am going with Columbus St. Francis DeSales in the D-2

I have to go with Hamler Patrick Henry in the D-5 game

In the D-6 game Delphos St. John should win by a few scores.

NCF, I second these games except for DeSales I think they will win D-III

D-II Canfield

D-IV Youngstown Mooney

ttt

In what circle?

 

Hillard Davidson was an unbeaten DI school. Nine times out of 10 that makes for a pretty dang good football team this time of year. They weren't a huge favorite at all.

According to the TV stations here in Columbus, they kept saying HD wasn't supposed to be this close to St. X. They also said if Davidson would have won it would have been a huge upset. Remember St. X is nationally ranked #9 , Davidson the last I remember seeing the D-1 AP poll they were 5th or 6th.

Was this game expected to be this close?

No, St. X was a huge favorite.

This is turning out to be a movie in the making.
