This game is the culmination of LC-LCA Rilvalry Week. The two schools are playing each other in all falls sports this week: Boys/Girls Soccer, Boys/Girls Golf, Volleyball, and Football. There are also in school competitions this week. The schools will compete in a charity food drive and a denim drive(Habitiat for Humanity takes old denim jeans, jackets ect. and shreds them to use for insulation in new homes they build.) There is a joint pep rally for the two schools at LCA's gym tonight. Faculty vs Faculty volleyball game. For each win(including the charity drives), that school will get one point for a running total. At the end of the week, the school with the most points will recive a trophy to remain at one of the two schools for the rest of the year. Both schools look to establish a great school to school rilvalry for years to come.

Watched the game on TV (Insight Ch. 135 I think. WTVQ extra station) No doubt it was a foul. Couldn't not call that one.

Well, the Freshmen Placement exam and makeups being complete, more 8th graders filled out the paperwork and took the exam than last year, and maybe more than the year before. Will that translate into a 100% enrollment? Don't know. But at least those numbers are promising.

What I was getting at. I've been in places where the box was marked less than two yards from the sideline, and others where a rock filled ditch was less than two yards from the marked box.

I agree with the sideline rule, but I would hope that now, as the officials walk the hashes prior to the game, they have instructions to judge the sidelines of the home stadium. I've been at some fields where its nearly impossible, with 80-90 players along with water coolers, benches, and extra equipment, to fit everyone consistently behind the line of the box.

Brandon Logan from Lex. Cath just finished his senior year at Michigan. Zia Combs(Henry Clay) played at Michigan J.T. and Robert Haskins (Bryan Station) played at UL.

If seeding holds, Harrisson and Lex Cath will play in week 2 of the Play-offs. This would be the fourth meeting of non-district foes in the past two seasons, with three of the four meetings to be held at Harrisson.

This is how you defend agianst Ninjas. "Pie-Ya!"

As gamehuntr said, many defenders will wrap around the waist and attempt to poke the ball out from behind. When I was a smaller player in high school, I would do this, and then try to wrap my legs around the ballcarriers legs. I think this causes greater risk of injury than simply pulling a ball carrier down by the back of the shoulder pads.

The problem with the horescollar tackle resulting in injuries(See Roy Williams: Dallas Cowboys) is not grabbing and pulling the back of the shoulder pads, but when the defender lands with all thier weight on the back of the ballcarriers legs.

The move to 6A is based on the added enrolment after completion of the new school building.

Loved the Old School Gold Uni's

This is where I would like the bye week the most.

Also, in 2005, Lex Cath was down either 14 or 21 at the half to X, then came back to tie it up before losing on a last second FG.

I think this is the biggest part to look at, especially now with the helmet only rule till Aug. 1. Of course that opens a whole other can of worms to think about these next three weeks. Anyone else think tackling and pad level are going to be sloppy?

Manual beat Lexington Catholic in the final 4

Does any other Lexington School besides Lexington Catholic have more than one win vs those big 3 in the last several years?

Totally agree. There are reasonable and unreasonable limits to privleges. Questions abound to where KHSAA by-laws currently fit on that scale. Delegate assembly meeting in October; get your suggestions in.

Of course if he was that far down the bench, he wouldn't have had the opportunity to make the comments he did to the papers. Stars are different(as much as we wish it wasn't the case, even in high school) and different expectations come with the territory. Dad just should have kept his mouth shut. Not that what he said was wrong, but as said before, loose lips sink ships.

Half of the Lexington Catholic fans were on that side. 1st base side was all hot sun, and the only concessions stand open was on the 3rd base side--horrible decision by whomever made it. Took me a full two innings to get through the line.

I thought the play at first base where Martin was restricted to the dugout happened after the play where the umpire was hit, so there was no retaliation for that play. Now, coach Martin and coach Whitaker as well, had issues with the strike zone during the inning the umpire was hit.

I'd be willing to bet the other sucessful programs around the state would have similar stories as well about their youth leauges. IMO, well run youth leauges are the foundation for high school sucess.

This is a great thing that will pay off dividends far down the road in the future. How long has Franklin done this? More HS coaching staffs should.

JC played Central in Week 8 (October 12th). Who is on thier schedule for Week 8 in 08? Is it Shawnee, or that Ohio team a JC fan posted earlier this year?
