Trust me no one here in Danville is smiling about this. Givhan has even been quoted in todays newspaper as looking forward to playing against Mitchell again. We want to play the best that Highlands has.

I will believe that when I hear Chuck Smith's public statement saying let Mitchell play Boyle has no protest

Nice Post StillBlue,

I agree... I think if Dale puts Nevels at Saftey and some RB Highlands does not lose a beat.

I imagine there is going to be some smiles in class tomorrow at Boyle. I guess Quinn Givhans bad dreams are coming to an end. However, the rest of the Birds will be showing up to play on Saturday with or without Mitch.

Hey sports addict do you know Mitch?

yeah

Sportz Addict,

Whos to say they wouldnt have beaten Highlands had Highlands been playing nothing but guys who were legal according to KHSAA rules?

I thought Bell and CovCath were playing Highlands not Michael Mitchell

c horn,

Mueller not playing Mitchell is the right thing to do. It has nothing to do with him having a spine or not. Mitchell should have never been a part of the team.

 

The kids from Highlands, Bell Co, and Cov Cath in particular are the real losers in all of this.

How is Bell Co and CovCath losers? If they wanted to go to state then they should have beaten Highlands..

The main problem I can see is that the kids from Covington Catholic and Bell County probally see that they are cheated of a trip to Louisville. The Sr's for these team will not get a chance to play at Papa John's. This was their last shot. Kind of like what happen at the Little League World Series 3 years ago with the kid from New York. This is just bad all the way around. Something should have been finalized before the season started period. I feel for all the team involved in this. (Highlands, Bell, Boyle, Covington Cath., and the rest)

How were those kids cheated of going to Louisville? If they wanted to go to Louisville they should have beat Highlands

HHSballer19,

One player makes a huge difference. Look at Ricky Williams for example. The Dolphins are horrible without him. You take the star player out of the mix at any level its going to hurt. Especially on the highschool level where you have a kid like this that is as good as he is going both ways.

I sure thought it was the QB situation in Miami.

Dale has the personal to use other RB's and other SS's. He could have auditioned several players with Mitch not being there.

Highlands coach also played a player ruled INELIGIBLE by the KHSAA!!

WHAT?? WHO? :lol:

What if the family was unable to pay their childs tuition at the private school the next year?

From Middlesboro ,And heck I could maybe round up a few more Lineman from over In Tennessee.

Middlesboro, ohh forget about it nevermind.........

We got a nice little Senior QB we could offer you all.

From what team?

Nope. He was ALWAYS inelligible, the injunction mearly said that he could play while it was under appeal. Which they lost. Which makes the injunction void.

Then what is the purpose on the injuction and getting one? Why not just play anyways until the ruleing is made? Since its the same difference.

We need to address this ASAP!

 

My undestanding was Michael Mitchell received a temporary injuction stateing he could play in all Birds games until further review or ruleing of the courts. That ruleing was issued today apparently 11/30/04. So from 11/29/04 and back he was eligable.... right?

ANYBODY?

No. By state championship competition, they mean "the playoffs."

I hope a Boyle County affiliate did not do this too Mitchell like stated before. I would think Boyle County would want Mitchell to play. I f Mitchell dose not play and Boyle leaves with a win then Boyle will always have to here this explanation.. ( Boyle County wins but might have lost if Highlands would have had Mitchell.) Now do you want to win a state title under those terms?

Champ,

Good point. If your going to win a title, war, or a battle I would wanna go through whatever the other team has to throw at me. There are some fingers pointing at Boyle but IT HAS NOT been proven. The Boyle people are on here saying they want Mitchell to play but you no deep down inside they don't. He could be the reason they don't win the state title. I think the Highlands/Boyle match up state title or regular season has turned into a fine battle almost like a war. In war the honest guy rarely wins

Powerhouse Bell has been Bird bashing every since the week before the Bell/Highlands game. I'm sick of it. Now that Highlands has another fire to put out he has to try to fuel it. :fire:

Birdsfanatic... LIG it man... let it go.. I have engaged in serveral battles with Powerhouse Bell also over the Highlands/Bell game. The game is over. It is a part of history now. Move on and focus on the Boyle game. Powerhouse Bell is an emotional guy and has had alot of trouble dealing with the Highlands loss. Just let it go guys its over.

I sure hope you are not referring to Chuck Smith!! Chuck and TITLE TOWN are nothing but CLASS and have nothing to do with this!!!!

If this infact true what a low blow from Boyle to deliver but it does not surprise me 1 bit. This is the same team who runs fake punts on people up 3-4 TD's
