Congrats Jackets! Another CLASSIC finals vs Belfry! Good Luck to both!

Congrats Dixie! Now you get a shot at T. Just wondering, how many times has Dixie been in the finals? How many titles? 1973?

Who is Ashland's next opponent?

Tim Rackie '68, 13-0, All American DB at Purdue, last man cut by the Chicago Bears, played every down except kick-offs as a Bird Captain.

I believe there was an exchange after the game involving one of the refs and some hick. While the refs headed to their lockers, the FortThomas Police pursued someone outside the stadium.

Northern Ky owns 5A. HHS has won 'em all so far!

Right. Birds have to fill-in schedule with Elder.

A HHS coverage guy popped a Colonel at midfield as the whistle blew.

Too bad SK doesn't have a shot at the Birds!

Way too many flags on both sides. Birds answer question as to whether they can defend the pass. Their pressure on Birr was key. Birds passing game came up big when they needed it. Both clubs learned a lot about the other, ane the next one will likely be closer. Good job by both schools. Stay healthy until the rematch.

This comes down to hhs ability to defend the pass. Cch has the edge on special teams. combined records of both team's opponents are under .500

Nice upset win foe Bellevue! I'm looking forward to seeing them soon.

Rematch of 2A Football Quarter Final. Will Owen fair better or will HC dominate again?

Bad something. Body language is negative. No possitive emotion from bench or players. At least not like you would expect from highschool athletes.

Dayton sweeps the Blue Lightning. In the rematch at VMA, the Lightning, down by 20 early, make a nice comeback to tie it in the last minute. Dayton has a nice team and deserved the win. They pass well, they can all handle the ball and they move without the ball. Dayton does not have size, but they play together well. Going into the season, I expected this Villa team to be their best ever. They have size and experience, but are under-performing. They tried to stop Dayton by playing defense at half court, and too many times, Dayton, thru their hustle, created a two-on-one advantage resulting in easy baskets. Villa is dis-organized and does not use their size to its potential. They sure do have a nice gym though.

Three things impress me about Highlands: they have so many different guys who can run the ball, they have so many guy who can catch the ball, and they have so many guys who tackle - on every play!

Not overlooking the Knights. The last time I saw them, they blanked HHS in Ft.Thomas. But the Class 4A title was won this evening. HHS is a complete team on both sides of the ball. The only area where they do not presently impress is special teams.

Way to go Boone County! Good luck in the Semi's.

Congrats Covington Holy Cross Indians! I was expecting two teams from Campbell County to advance, but I'm quite happy for HC to get over the hump. Good Luck against the Jumpers!

It was very interesting how that FG turned TD developed.

We definitely had a game until HHS answered quickly following the Colonels score to start the 3rd Qtr. It was the quick O-line of HHS & the HHS D that stole the show. The big line of CCH simply was not as effective vs the Birds as in Sept. While HHS was expected to strick fast and then wait while CovCath executed long drives, it was HHS playing smashmouth. Congrats CCH on a fine season, and on challenging. Go Birds!

Congrats HC and good luck vs the Breds. Congrats OC on a fine season, hopefully one to build upon.

Since when was a 36 point margin running-up the score?

Sounds like the Ashland Tomcats have earned some respect and should not be taken lightly. I'd love to see this one at the old stadium. Last time I was there was '68. Initially, I'd say the the Colonels wouldn't have much trouble, but now I'm believing its gonna be a real good one. Good luck to both.

Congrats Owen County Rebels! 11 - 0 and rolling.
