The School Board and Administration have done a fantastic job getting all this done. All done responsibly IMO. Dr. Stacey took the baton from previous administration, made a plan and got it done in quick order. Hopefully we can do something about the baseball stands so a majority of the seats can see the entire field. Choosing to see 3rd or 1st base sucks! The Lights are a game changer for a school that has 5 soccer teams and where Softball and Baseball share an outfield. AD's have to be relieved about the scheduling options.

Yeah. How about 3rd and foot on beechwood 45 after moving the ball 3 and 4 yds at a time and choosing to run a flea flicker. Don’t get it. Got too anxious.

I was totally surprised. I didn't think there would be a running clock until late 2nd half if at all. I knew BW would wear them down. The only teams that Beechwood can't outlast are the ones that don't play 9-10 guys both ways. I thought we could possibly see a big margin, but I did not see a shutout happening and certainly didn't see 60pt one. I just didn't think the Tigers would come out and punch the panthers in the mouth from the first whistle to the last. This is one of the most-talented BW teams in recent history and I still say its the fastest that I can remember. I see no one in Class A beating them unless they beat themselves with penalties or arrogance and lazy play.

What "stepping on their own toes" did they do? All I saw was a Good Team that wasn't used to playing a team with 11 tremendous athletes on both sides of the ball. Beechwood's entire line backing crew is faster than all but 1 player on Ludlow's offense. They are small, but hit extremely hard. That's hard to play against. The second half was a bit different, with some penalties balls being snapped over QBs head, but it had been a long night. I haven't seen all games, but this is the most I have been impressed by Beechwood since Corbin game. They were 99.9% sharp. There were 4 and 5 guys flying to the ball the entire game. Ludlow had less than 40 yards in the first half. That's on the Beechwood D, not the Ludlow Offense.

No doubt. I don't understand some adults acting the way they do. Why would Beechwood fans want nothing other than for District competition to get better. Heard some disappointing comments last night. I also heard a great deal of negativity coming from the Ludlow fans towards players and coaches.

I will certainly give the coaches credit and it may very well be development, but Good Lord, that's some crazy talent on that team. Long-term is where coaching will show. Talent Pools gets deeper and shallower, how coaching adjusts is the key. Can't say I watch more than a few Colonel games during the year, but over the 30 years I have been paying attention, this is the most talented team I can remember. I simply don't see them being stopped.

Yes, it's correct. Highlands is not that bad. The Colonels are just that Good!

Thanks for nice the updates. Couldn't make it to game

While I realize the Colonels are far better this year than recent years, so is Beechwood. This may not be the best Beechwood team ever, but its definitely close. I do believe its the best Rash team. Tigers are small, but this is the fastest all around team I can recall. Ever! They have impressed me from the first scrimmage game. Quite frankly, I'm pretty critical of them. I believe Colonels will win, but I do think this will be the closest match in some time. IMO, the only difference this year is the ability for Colonels to platoon. With two well-conditioned teams, that makes for all the difference. I would definitely like to see the Crazies at skyline crying in their Chili before the game is even over again.

You definitely are Salty... To say that the rescheduling doesn't affect attendance is not being realistic. I can assure you it does. Just those I'm related accounted for 10-12 less people in both 2015 and 2016. Not just due to rescheduling, but just the possibility of rescheduling and things being up in the air. Hotels are also another factor. For those driving 3+ hours, the rescheduling either means scrambling to find a hotel room for a different night or the difference between having to stay overnight or it being a day trip. Wasn't the Women's Sweet 16 at NKU this year and Next?

Article I read stated "Move to UK in 2018" is there an official press release?

The Tigers do get more and more difficult to watch. They just seem flat. I saw very little emotion out of most of this team last night. While I know it's not football, you have to play with emotion. I saw none. It was the same with Conner game and they barely escaped that game. Also, while I think it's great that they win the All A championship, they sure seem to settle for that. To me, that's on the coach. Got to keep the team hungry. Congrats to the Birds. JB has really done an amazing job since taking over.

You are very good at. You may want to turn it into a profession. Seriously, congrats to the Mayfield Fans. When people said that the Cards would no longer dominate their Class, I have called BS and told them they haven't been paying attention. Great players, but great coaching is the difference.

So a few days have passed and I still keep thinking about something. I haven't heard a lot, but it seems that most don't share my opinion about the play call on the 3rd and 1. I think it was a flashback to OC getting too cute. I felt like your best shot was to give the Ball to Slusher and let him pickup the yard. I know they reduced his yards, but at that point, I felt like Pikeville didn't have an answer to prevent him from gaining 2 or 3. He was the best all around player in the field and Hergott took the ball out of his hands for what turns out to be a turning point in the game.

Beechwood has lost most big games, including Frankfort in 13 due to one thing. A BIG BA back (mayfield, Frankfort and now Pikeville) and no answer. The other thing is not having an answer when they can control our playmaker. If someone else could have stepped up, it would have taken pressure off Slusher. People are saying Pikeville controlled slusher-- and they did. Funny thing is that he still had over 200 all purpose yards. On Stringer... I'm Sorry, but I can't think of a Big game where Stringer made a difference. We have lost All Big Games the last two years with him in there. I think he's talented, but to me he is easy scout. Come out and lay a hit on him and he either shuts down, get frustrated and commits personal fouls or both. I may be wrong, but I have been trying to think of one game where I thought he was the difference and I can't do it.

Seriously you need a hobby. How do you even remember a thread started 5 years ago?

You will never convince me that either team takes that "out of district" game lightly. I think the games are generally a good indicator of how those teams will fair in the post season. That said, I'm glad I was wrong. I only wish NCC proved me completely wrong and won it all.

Now you can go back to your other stance that Mayfield would have won anyway.

As a NKY guy, I am sorry to hear the Breds didn't pull it off. I must say that I didn't expect the score to be close. Thinking about how BW handled NCC, I thought it would be another lopsided victory. Guess that's why I am commenting here and not professionally. Congrats to Cards, but great Job Breds. You represented NKY well.

Wow. I never thought NCC had a chance. Congrats. Glad I was wrong. See you in BG

two weeks in a row. Rash has made good adjustments on defense. Great job Tigers.

From my experience, Mayfield doesn't need anyone to "let them up". The coaches can flat out coach them UP

If it weren't for this, The Guru wouldn't have much of a site.

I'm not sure about Head Coach, but I remember Max Montoya (Bengals Pro Bowl Guard) saying: "if he (Mike Yeagle) was on the Bengals Coaching staff, I would have at least 3 Superbowl rings." He was speaking more about Mike's ability to motivate every player. Not sure that equates to a logical progression to NFL Head coach, but wanted to share.

Happy not to find a bunch compaining about Refs. Getting so tired of the BW fans constant droning on and yelling at the officials. There are plenty of times where officials deserve some of that. Friday night was not one of them. Yes, maybe a call or two were incorrect, but it certainly wasn't one-sided. I wish they would spend just half the energy cheering on the Tigers and maybe just trying to standing for the fight song. At one point they were doing pre-emptive complaining about calls that didn't even happen because they were assuming the flags were on BW.
