Up by six TD's and having the starters play 3 quarters? Wow! Are they sending a message?

Newport is 2A

This game, along with the Campbell/Boone game should be the top games in NKY this week. (I am leaving out NCC/Ryle because it is not district.)

Who is QB for Newport? Is Arkansas back?

This is a very good Beechwood team. They have size and a great running back. The only piece missing from previous years is overall team speed. That is not saying they are slow, only not as fast as previous years. Dayton should expect Beechwood to play smashmouth football. If, and a big if, Dayton can make a couple of stops, control field position, they have a chance. I like Beechwood in this one.

Great Job! What was the biggest upset when considering the new class format? Is it Dayton over Holmes?

I saw Dayton/Holmes. Actually picked Holmes to win because a bigger size school SHOULD find a way to find and utilize more athletes and speedy skill kids. I was wrong. Dayton was impressive. Scott traditionally is very weak. So, I will have to pick a solid Green Devil team.

What a great time for an onside kick!

Who is on their schedule for this year? I have heard that they had trouble filling out their open dates with Northern Ky teams.

How?

The 84 class AA champs recieved these really styling bright gold nylon jackets with the elastic cuffs and collars. Not very attractive and definately, not something that you can show off to your friends.

So, we are talking about a high school player?

I know this is not football, but goes towards copyright. I heard a while back that a person actually bought the right to the song "Happy Birthday". That is why most restaraunts now have their own jingle. Is this true or just a myth?

Great win by Bellevue, but "All over Beechwood, like a hobo on a bologna sandwich". A lot closer than that. In fact, I beleive it took a terrific defensive stand on 4th down to seal the "W".

Doesn't Holmes have Bermuda? They have a nice field.

I think everybody so far is of the same opinion. Steve Lickert is a great coach and will help Holmes. How far they go is up to the athletes to stay out of trouble, stay in school, support from the adminstration and parents, and finally, the whole academic mess with KDE. He did great at Dayton and will be missed dearly.

If that were the case; Dayton will definately be in the better position, 3, 4, 5, or 6 years from now. Presumably, Beechwood will move up to AA, where there will be more competition and that will leave Dayton in a very winnable district every year. Unless there will be another numbers crunching session to redistrict teams, Holmes is still going to play Highlands and Cov Cath (am I wrong on this).

OR...I want to spend my entire career at Holmes.

With such a large frosh group, could it be possible to split the roster and have two teams? Has anyone ever heard of this happening before (besides in grade school)? In some ways, it hurts the lesser skilled player because of a lack of playing time.

This has happened on many occasions. Not to blame their antics, but the number of studentst that show up and how intense they get will break today's bleachers.

Does anyone know if there is a teaching position open for him in the district? Does this make a difference to Yeagle or to Lloyd if the job is his?

The UK signee that LONG TIME WARRIOR mentioned was John Stewart.

Lickert staying or going does matter, alot!! One thing that kids need most is consistancy. Especially at a school like Dayton, where people view it as a stepping stone, or a lower tier job. The kids are hurt when the adults, coaches and teachers that they bond with and look up to leave after a year or two. You said so yourself they need to stay on track. That includes Lickert.

They need to keep Lickert in the head position. He is young, talented, motivated and a good offensive mind. I don't blame him for interviewing with Conner, but Dayton needs to be more proactive in keeping him around.
