I can't remember a time when Baseball interfered with football as much as it seems to this year. I guess it could just because of the level of baseball talent playing football makes it seem worse. I'm sure they will hit the ground running next week.

Wasn't simply a no-show. Had a contractural obligation that was a conflict. In all fairness, he apparently helped with other arrangements. The kids would rather see the Bengal players they know anyway. Most wouldn't know Kuechly. It is my understanding that Maualuga and Peko were there along with 2 or 3 other pros. Heard from a parent that it was well done and the kids loved it. I saw plenty of great photos on FB that would back that up. Kudos to all involved for the success.

one more time... The KHSAA is not preventing him from going to CCH, simply From playing sports. So all other arguments about allowing him to seek better educational opportunities is just a load of crap. No one is stopping any of that. Remember, they didn't implement a rule for him, it is a rule that he is trying to be exempted from.

I thought most good tournaments required that you be affiliated with a league. It at least seemed that way for many when I looked to put a Tourney Only group together 4 or 5 years ago.

I don't lnow what is absurd or laughable. While I believe what you said about CCH, the KHSAA is not preventing him from going there, just from transferring there and playing athletics without sitting out the required year. They are sanctioning body and they can and should stop it. It's clearly for Sports reasons and they have the rules in place for this specific thing. Did Aaron deserve to go there as a Freshman? If so, then why didn't he transfer then? It would have been within the rules and all would be happy and he would have had 4 years of his what he is "deserved". Rules are Rules and it shouldn't be about one individual. His circumstances have not changed. The only thing that change is his sudden desire to go to CCH.

Agree with all but this (Big shocker I know ) The players definitely have to get it done, but the coaches are responsible for putting them in the BEST position to succeed. Along with many things, the preparation and play calling has to be there. As we have discussed many times, I just don't think that has happened under Rash like it should. In its big Class A losses, I believe that Beechwood has been out-coached more often than out-played.

Good luck to Brett in the Futures Games. Brett is an amazing athlete. As were his older brothers. I think he will end up being the Star of BW Baseball and Football the next two years.

Yes!

I ran out of likes as I kept coming across posts that I agreed with more than the previous ones. For me, even as a BW fan, I have to go with the Dayton guys and to say the '96 Green Devils.

I never thought about this, but that would be a great move. They lost some speed at WR and it would be nice to get Stringer there. I think that's a good fit for him. I have always considered Studer the #1. Edited... The rest belonged in BW thread.

So what other players from other schools played. btw... 57-3 is amazing!

I will respond however and wherever I want within the rules.

ahh, the Beechwood PR machine discounting the value of kids again. Keep telling yourself they don't matter because they aren't "starters" I guess that makes the coaching staff feel better.

Due to a certain poster, my opinion of Kuntz was a bit tainted. That got erased last night. While he didn't have any TDs, I think he was clearly the best moving QB on the field. He can scramble great. BTW... are he and Osbourne going to the same school to play football?

Yes! Someone forgot to tell him and Devon Everett from Beechwood that it wasn't a State Championship. Both Defenses hit hard!

Mullens is a master at the college stuff. For both his summer players and the BW kids of course. If there is an opportunity for a kid to get seen by college coaches, you can bet he will do whatever he can.

I am unclear how they divide this up. Holy Cross and Beechwood in the West. Cov Cath and Dixie in the East. Doesn't make much sense to me. Not sure if anyone is still interested...

Got to hand it to the West Coach, he distributed the ball and the plays around equally. Looked like the boys all had a great time. Thanks to Snappy Tomato Pizza for sponsoring the game.

I have to say I am very impressed with Kunz's scrambling.

The kids came home with Rosters sometime over the past couple of weeks. Or at least a list of all the kids that were invited for East and West.

wow. All I have to say is that JC should be proud of their coach. In his interview after the game, he was exactly what you want your Child's coach to be. Professional and respectful. Even if the officials and KHSAA do not deserve it. I noticed the policeman escorting him off the field when he got tossed. I must say, if it were me, the police officer would have needed the cuffs and likely the taser.
