Thanks. :thumb:

Any Internet broadcast for this game?

I think what we have here is a high school kid who hasn't learned how to accept a loss with grace.

Ouch.

Maybe baloney on your sandwich, but straight facts for the rest of us.

Anybody have a broadcast link?

Yesterday. I get to do that joke once a year.

Says someone who wouldn't know. From the above article: Some people say it is not a rivalry because of the recent Bluebird domination. “I’m not sure who ‘some people’ are, but I have never met them,” said Brian Weinrich, Highlands Assistant Head Coach/Defensive Coordinator. “This is THE RIVALRY. Those ‘some people’ have never been to our youth camp in the summer when we have a couple hundred campers chanting, ‘Beat Colonels.’ It is what makes high school football so great. I am really excited to be a part of this game.” Nuff said! :ylsuper:

History and scores are not the be all and end all in the making of a rivalry. There are elements that go beyond any simple collection of numbers. I guarantee you the rivalry exists for the players, as it does for those who are most closely tied to either school. Yes Virginia, there is a rivalry...it's alive and well, right here in NKY. There are a multitude of reasons why individual games have become legendary. And those reasons have nothing to do with either team's record, or who won the other game that year -- or if there even was one. The rivalry has taken on a life of its own and shows no sign of fading away anytime soon. Those who have lived the history, those who know it best, will tell you that anything can and does happen in these games. Friday night, another chapter in this long story will be written. Get yourself a ticket and see if it's a blowout...a flood bowl...an amazing comeback...or a miraculous overtime victory!

Highlands is basically like Alabama. Throughout the entire season, fans, sports writers, TV analysts and opposing players gradually grow to think that a team from another conference can outduel the SEC’s best come bowl time. Then, the Tide deliver the truth and it hits everyone like a ton of bricks. So, I admit it. I was blinded by the light (revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night; Manfred Mann, 1976). Here’s my new prediction: Highlands will roll to its seventh straight state championship. According to MaxPreps, such a streak would be the longest ever in American high school football. - Ashland Daily Independent Link to Full Story

How will Raceland’s widespread experience and size up front fare against the speedy Panthers of Pikeville? Time will tell, but one thing is for sure: These Rams are motivated to become the football program’s first region winner. “We want this bad,” said senior Nevan Johnson. “It’s our time to take our regional championship and make school history.” - Ashland Daily Independent

We already covered that in posts 20 and 24.

:lol:

I always said it's like playing a real football game in some kid's side yard -- very tight quarters on all sides, with the stands literally right on top of the visitors' bench. Just the fun that happens on the JumBirdtron is worth the trip.

The Birds took both in 1989.

If nothing else, we've got to give you the award for consistency. :thumb: (Btw, feel free to steal my little cartoon character. Then you'll have one all your own to love and to feed...and you can call him George. Besides, how do you think I got it in the first place?)

You're right. I missed that one. So CovCath has won two out of three of the playoff games in years that they split the victories.

History of the Rivalry The two teams have met twice in a season 15 times. Highlands has won both games nine times. CovCath has won both games three times. The teams have split the two games on three occasions. Interestingly, CovCath has won the second meeting (the playoffs) all three times! *Data courtesy of The Statmeister - D.H.
