Great win by HHS. Sophmore Towles has 24. HHS has played a difficult schedule and it looks like it's paying off.

Good point, or playing JV ticked her off, she's worked harder in practice and has gotten better. Either way she's been playing great basketball of late and lets hope she keeps it up. Great Kid.

Soccer. ALOT of girls start soccer at early age. In the past not many opportunites for 1st, 2nd, 3rd graders to play basketball. It's getting better but still have a ways to go. I beleive this might be the first group of core players-Allen, Horner, Towles, Cutter, ect. who have played AAU and not soccer in the summer.

Can't a player who plays half of the varsity game improve by playing JV? HHS has 3-4 freshman who play Freshman and JV so they are getting plenty of time also. HHS only has 17 players right now at the Varisty,JV, and Freshman level and 2 of those players are seniors and one is an 7th/8th grader. ALL of the girls are getting minutes. IMO players who don't start varsity, aren't seniors and only play 16 minutes in a varsity game should play JV also.

She has been playing all year long, she just hasn't started. HHS goes about 8-9 deep and most of the players are playing less minutes this year which has helped the TEAM. As a player if I didin't start varsity as a junior I would have loved to play as many minutes of possible in any game. Why is everybody so hung up on starting?? Coach Richey believes that if you are an underclassman and you don't start varsity you will play JV to get more minutes. By the looks of things Natalie embraced the idea of playing, worked on her game, improved her game, and now Natalie and the TEAM are better for it. I'm sure all coaches would love to have players who are as unselfish as Natalie.

She hasn't played JV since Mallory got hurt. Before that she was playing JV because she wasn't starting varsity and only averaged 15 min a game at the varsity level. Coach Richey believes in letting players who don't start varsity play JV to keep them sharp. The JV games I have been at when Natalie played JV she only played about a half of the game. Hope that helps.

how much time?

Back to the game against Sacred Heart can someone tell me if Cundiff played? Saw the box score but didn't see her name.

I believe they did. You might dislike X because they win but Coach Glaser is all class. Central IMO is the best story in KY high school football in a long time.

I was talking to a head coach on friday at the finals and he belives that when they reclassify in 09 that you will be only allowed to play up if you want to play in 6A. Don't know how true that is but it would make some schools have some tough choices to make.

Still trying to figure out the illegal touching call... Thought they should have kicked it and then try to get a three and out and then only need a fieldgoal for the win.

Final: HHS 59-HC 28

Great interview with Bankemper, pound for pound the best RB I have seen at HHS. I was just entering my teens at remember those 81-82 teams and have some great memories following those teams.

What happened??

I haven't seen this many kids cramp up so late in the year..

I look for Owensboro to hang tough at home, if you haven't been to OHS to watch a game you need to try and get there. GREAT location, setting, and atmosphere. With that said BG's offense scores enough to win. BG 21-7.

The usual cast on Offense. Conners and Hurtt had some big holes to run through, Draper caught a beautiful deep ball at the end of the half for a TD and the Defense swarmed all over the place. I've never seen a D have so many kids on the tackle. On one play I counted nine on the pile. Letcher moved the ball effectively through the air at times but couldn't run it at all.

someone call and tell them to put the plug back in...........

Birds roll... Congrats to Letcher on a great season. Very impressed by the QB from Letcher. Didn't miss many recievers and was on his back on just about every pass.

Chris graduated with Brian Weinrich if memory serves me correct. Played LB and RB. Had a great run at Hancock County when Travis Atwell was QB and had success at Wagner and PRP. He would look good back in the Blue and White of Highlands.

I've been told she's wearing all those hats so the bow hunters in town don't mistake her for a deer in the future.

Just read in CJ sports that Iroquois is ranked third in the state preseason. Any details on who looked good for HHS? Any suprises?

Anyone have any results from the HHS and Conner scrimmages?

I saw it, while HHS was coming on the field the entire Scott team was dancing on the H at midfield. I had to do a doubletake but they were doing it.

I don't think telling someone that it's hard to compete with HHS talent is making excuses. It's a fact. Year in and year out HHS will have more talent than Dixie and most other schools in the region. It starts with the FTJFL and goes from there. I do agree about Tom's behavior, it's funny to watch him look like he is complaining every play...
