5A: Highlands Bluebirds (13-1) vs. Christian County Colonels (13-1) Predictions
"WHO 'YA ROOTIN" FOR?"

Highlands 42 Whitley County 16
I haven't seen a "shake and bake" move like AC put on WC's kicker in year's. Froze him solid! Simply OUTSTANDING! And Kudo's to the return team for the BLOCKING to spring him!!

Newport Central Catholic 26 Corbin 7
Hey...I'm reading all about Kelly and Kues...and a few blurbs about the linemen. How about someone "shouting out" the names/class of the "unsung" engine that make NCC go!!! The games are won and lost in the "pits" Who are the OL/DL warriors making it happen?

5A: Highlands Bluebirds (12-1) at Whitley County Colonels (12-1)
Thanks for the warm sentiments! The Team bus leaves at "High Noon" for a showdown in the Mountains! The parent/fan busses leave at 2 pm...."NOW WE'LL GET IT ON....JUST LIKE DONKEY KONG!!" Hope all travelers arrive safely and players for both teams stay injury free!

Taken for Granite...Good article on NewCath's Jake Kiernan
I remember coaching against St. Joe's Hoops team and Jake was 3 times as big as any player we had. He would get the rebound, turn, and just throw it down the floor to the guards for easy layups. Our kids would drive the lane and just bounce off of the "Great Wall of Kiernan"! (lol) Great kid, great family, wish him and his fellow Breds the BEST tonite, and may everyone have safe travels! Stay Warm...if possible!

Size/strength or speed, which is more important?

Highlands' Kody Rosenhagen
In his "youth" he played on the Muddogs Knothole City Champs team with fellow D-line mate, Adam Dempsey and about half of NCC's defense: Nate Rawe, Ben Paar, Mark Johnson, Logan Ferrara, and Chris Grosser. Pretty fair FB team for hardballers!! :ylsuper:

- D1 prospects in the state of Kentucky Regardless of Class
ACT 26; SAT = 730 Math; 580 Critical Reading; 540 Writing- Highlands 35 Johnson Central 21
We'll just putthat in the "you owe us one" column!- Highlands 35 Johnson Central 21
Don't be naive!- D1 prospects in the state of Kentucky Regardless of Class
Welz and Grubbs will garner D1 offers on size alone! Plus playing for a perennial championship contender, plus A LOT of film is circulating out there due to AC and Roller getting big time looks. Don't be surprised! Besides...won't this be Dale's biggest, fastest, strongest, most athletic team of all time??? (lol)- BluegrassPreps.com/Kentucky News Network Player of the week!
SR., RB/PR Mark Kelly of NCC scored 6 of the 8 TD's in NewCath's 54-19 victory over DeSales. Kelly scored on runs of 8; 10; 8; 5; and 52 yards. He also took a punt back 49 yards for a score. He had 14 carries for 158 yds on the night. Plus an 82 yard KO return! No word on if he sold popcorn at halftime!- 6A: St. Xavier Tigers (12-0) vs. Trinity Shamrocks (12-1) (at PJCS)
I look for the Dynamic Defensive Duo of Trinity, Brock "the Rock" Messina and "White Lightning" Whiting, to step up and avenge the earlier season loss. Nothing would sting X more than to slip up in this one. The Rocks Roll in a close one 23-17.- Top juniors in the state
Isn't he part of that Ft. Thomas Smith human genome project? :lol: I heard they've reloaded the pipeline...but he's still a few years off! Jake should be one of the top lineman in NKY next year. Hunter Schlosser of HHS should be right there with him for "top doggie". The lineman don't get the pub/stats that the "glory guys" do, but they'd be nothing without them!!- 5A: Highlands Bluebirds (12-1) at Whitley County Colonels (12-1)
Someone mentioned CovLatin not getting any 6'6"/ 250 lb players...beside the point that they don't have a FB team, they DID get a guy named David Justice, who turned out to be a pretty fair athlete!! As for the HHS advantage...nobody has mentioned the tradition of playing deep into the playoffs every year gives extra practice/game time to kids. Comparing, a typical HS FB player by the end of his Soph yr has played 20-22 games. A HHS FB player has played 30games. (using the last 2 yrs as data). Our Sophs have JR experience. Big advantage for winning programs. What style offense does WC run? Wishbone, Veer, Dead T? What's their run to pass ratio? And most importantly, do they play incessant music betweeen every play? (lol)- BluegrassPreps.com/Kentucky News Network Player of the week!
I nominate 6'1" / 255 lb SR, DE, Kody Rosenhagen of Ft. Thomas Highlands. His stalwart defensive efforts were key to the Bluebird victory over Johnson Central. HHS does not keep individual stats...it's a "team" thing in Ft. Thomas. But the "game changing moment" came when Rosie stripped, scooped and scored from 75 yards out to virtually lock the game up for the 'Birds in a hard fought 35-21 victory.- So, if we strictly went with the "toughest mascot"...
...because were always "shooting off" at the mouth !!:ylsuper::dancingpa:banana::laugh::thumb:- Highlands 35 Johnson Central 21
Their backs were too good for that to be the case. ALL HAIL KODY-BEAR!!! :banana:- Highlands Guidugli, nominated for national honor
Tony threw the ball last night like he did this summer in the camps. What a nice, nice deep ball he throws.- Highlands 35 Johnson Central 21
I would also be remiss if I didn't mention the OUTSTANDING defensive game played by Oliver Head. Seemed Ollie was making every tackle in the first half...not good to have to do, but I love the way he HITS!! Way to go "O-Head" !!- Highlands 35 Johnson Central 21
THIS is, IMHO, the reason HHS got the victory. JC did an outstanding job with the "belly second man". Their backs were rumbling unabated in the Bluebird secondary. If Will and Austin don't make the tackles, it's a score for sure! And if JC got the lead....it's a whole different scenario!
