2-0 vs 4a

Raise high our banner show us our manner colors red and black if we are losing in a battle we will fight right back, ;

HC is just starting to have a consitent program because it took awhile for a middle school program to develop due to some unplanned events in the programs progress.

Started 98-99 School year.

I like the odds of HC atleast finishing third in the district. Since HC has made the playoffs the first time how many times has a team in our district outside of Beechwood and NCC beaten HC?

1. Football rivalry is alot like the basketball one in the past, with alot of covington kids playing for HC and growing up with Holmes players. 2. Holmes skill players should be key to the game 3. HC might have advantage on lines Holmes is the favorite. Holmes 28 HC 17

Major colleges are offering pride at other other positions, Akron wants him as a QB.

I think thats what Wildcat was speaking of. Again I don't know if anyone on the team indivdualy is as good as those two. But the overall team talent and sheer number of senior athletes is much greater than any other year before. Although Anthony Penny that RB for HC could have a special year.

No i'm saying every year a supporter for Boone and Dixie tell us how well there middle schools faired in these tournaments, and how they will be a top team in the state, then 4 years later nothing happens.

Its not even talent has to do with location, facilities, and pay. Taking the players themselves out of the decision, Ryle might be the most attractive job in NKY.

Just my impression on watching Dixie program the last couple years. I though there were some questionable lineup decisions last year. Also defeating Holmes minus Rice was not a huge accomplishment last year. He is an alright coach. But if I'm ryle with how attractive my location and school is, I can be a little more picky.

That would be wrong. Also some of you are looking into a middle school state tournament to much. I always hear how well kenton and boone public schools fair well every year in these tournaments. What most forget to take into account is some of the better grade school talent in NKY does not particpate in this event. That is why success in this tourney very rarley results in 9th region titles later in their careers. With the success of HC,CCH,St.Henry,Brossart,NCC in basketball latley. I think to figure out top teams in NKY it would be even more accurate to see who's feeder schools are winning titles in the Diocease of Covington tournaments.

This team is much more balanced on both sides of the ball. Also Beechwood and NCC are not as good as they were in 03. With that said HC has to beat them first.

Do you understand how many 4.4-4.5 guys are on college rosters? Great speed does not always mean advancement in the sports. I have a buddy who ran a 4.4 in high school but only played football his senior season. Their are fast guys on rosters, that might not be good enough football players fot continue a career.

This is just me, but I think there are alot better choices out their than Chevalier. Just me, never been a big fan.

I've stated over and over I would be all for every team making the playoffs in a 4 class system.

GT I really don't think you understand what we are saying. The point is we are not and will not ever be as big. That is why we find it silly to equal their number of classes.

Point is the example you just stated and where we are heading are both extreme points of view. 2 classes would not be enough and 6 classes to much. Where we were at was the best possible way with the amount of football playing schools, and making titles competive. I just feel the move was unnesceary except to free a few more schools away from the Trinity and St.X class. This does not mean if in the new class switch if my alma mater would win a title I would not be there cheering them on.

Be hard pressed to convince me that any GCL school is guarnteed a whipping from a team outside of Cincy or any top Cincy team for that matter.

HC returns almost everyone of importance and two kids who were lost last year due to injury. QB Abbeling and Defensive Lineman Robert Walker, who is a Junior and could be one of the more talented player in all of NKY at that position.

As HHSDAD is trying to state you are making my point for me. There is no reason for our state to have 6 classes like Ohio when the number are not even close to being the same.

Ok Confuscious

None of what you said has anything to disprove that football playing high schools would be a better comparison. Point about Ohio is, Ohio football and Texas football are the best in the country. I think would be intelligent to atleast mimick an already well oiled machine.

:thumb: Until HC beats either NCC or Beechwood their is no reason to believe they will. But this will be the most overall talented team since HC program has started. They have a great RB in Penny who will conted for the area rushing crown and if Abbeling can stay healthy they have a legit QB threat. On defense they are big and fast. It should be an intersting year in Latonia.

Not when you compare it to Ohio. Also the state population itself is not the greatest comparison to use. What you need to compare is football playing schools. How many schools per title were there in 75 compared to this new title. That would more directly reflect how watered down the titles would be. State population is irrelevant if the team numbers don't change drastically, because school enrollment break offs would just change with population growth.
