Don't forget the 80 and 81 teams! Bellevue was a dominate force in the state during this time span.

I know that both teams are beat up some. I know Ludlow has some major injuries and issues at the LB position. Which should allow Dayton's QB to run, then throw if needed. But I know Ludlow needs a victory to help their playoff hopes. This should be a good game all around, but I just think Dayton's offensive attack will be too much for Ludlow to handle Dayton 20 Ludlow 13

Bellevue 32 Ludlow 12 The offensive coordinator did an excellent job calling this game and using his weapons effectively. The defensive coordinator did an excellent job as well. These guys will be head coaches before you know it. Bellevue is very lucky to have these guys on staff :thumb: :ylsuper:

If tea and crumpets is what it takes then of course I'll buy

We should all meet over some tea and crumpets, and sort out all of our disagreements. I will pick Ludlow and Bellevue both to win. Good Luck to both teams and both coaches.

I'm not going to predict this one. All I know is Bellevue needs to play all out to win this one and keep their season alive

What are your thoughts for this showdown

Beechwood does deserve a pat on the back, but in watching the film, the roughing the passer call, was a horrible call, the ball is still loose and the whistle had not blown yet. If ball is loose and play is still live, then that call is horrible.:madman:

Becchies 14 Bellevue 8 There were a couple of very bad calls on consecutive plays late in the fourth quarter that gave Beechwood the ball inside the 10 and going in. There was a very bad uneccessary roughness call on Bellevue, when one of the guys dove on the Beechwood quarterback when he dove on the ground after a fumbled snap. On the next play, there was a questionable pass interference call against Bellevue when they intercepted the ball. It shouldn't have come down to this, but it was a great game by both teams. Congrats to the Beechies on their victory and congrats to both teams for playing such a good game.

Must have been a theme last night with all Nky officials...this happened in the Beechwood v. Bellevue freshman game:madman:

Ok...let's review the actually facts. Good ol' Doppler 12 said that it was going to rain all the way through the night. #2 Holy Cross had an issue with not getting Holmes field. #3 Officials had a another game Saturday. So those are the reasons why Bellevue agreed with HC AD and said let's call the game. To bad you weren't there Futurecoach, I am sure Bellevue and HC would have taken your insight into this decision

BB teams is frosh through seniors, I have heard that BB will be moving up to varsity level next year and will be playing Bellevue, Ludlow, Dayton, and Beechwood in district play:thumb:

Final score....was anyone there to see the action?

No one is questioning why either team agreed not to play again....

:laugh: It does take both teams...but with HC not having their own field and a officiated crew that had a game on Saturday...means that the game couldn't be played until this week. Which would mean that it would interfere with preparation for the next opponent.

Is there any reason for name calling....I thought we are all adults on here.:irked: :confused:

Not trying to ruffle your feathers or start an argument...but did Ludlow make any adjustments to Beechwood's offense or defense. :confused:

From what I heard from a member of the Bellevue coaching staff, the only person that got all the facts rights was jdg937. Everyone else has No Idea what they are talking about.

Couldn't have said it better Hurricane. I will be in attendance tonight. As a fan of football and a grad of Bellevue from a long time ago. I am really looking forward to a good hard fought football game. Good Luck to The Tigers and Coach Eckstein and to Coach Koz and the Cross:ylsuper:

:laugh: You shouldn't over hype the Panthers either...Do you and the rest of Ludlow already have your hotel reserved in Louisville. Even though they did march up and down the field, they still couldn't put the game away...and that is the mark of an excellent team. Also BTW this is a thread about the Bellevue v. Holy Cross game...I am certain there is a thread about the Ludlow/Beechwood game some where else. Stick to the thread topics my friend:thumb:

That's like saying sloppy play by Bellevue led to a Ludlow victory...on a different they win big. Doesn't sloppy play always lead to the other teams victory? :sssh: A win is a win and a loss is a loss regardless of the other factors. NCC got out played as did Bellevue. I don't think Bellevue will play sloppy this week and Holy Cross will overlook Bellevue. Bellevue wins.

They gave up 10 to the Cross and I believe Dayton is a much better team than Holy Cross.

I think that this idea could be interesting and fun to see. But in all honesty I think the same few teams would win all the time. Mainly, Trinity, Male, Highlands, etc. Also I don't think too many small schools could begin to compete. I really don't think NCC, even though they are a good team, could compete with Trinity or Male, etc. So even though it would be interesting to watch, I wouldn't want to see it happen.

Being a Bellevue guy this is hard for me to do, but I will pick the Greendevils to win this one. I have had the opportunity to see both teams play, I think Dayton will be more prepared to win this and will be more physical during this game. Coach Lickert will go in with the best game plan he can and the Devils will execute efficiently. Dayton 26 NCC 16

I agree pnthr4life...Bellevue has a good core of kids coming back and even in my days of playing ludlow, it was always a good hard hitting game. I know that part of the game will never change. I also know that just because Bellevue won a JV game doesn't mean they will dominate this rivalry for the next few years. I meant that it will give Bellevue a chance. I always look forward to what I have heard people call the "river Rat" Bowl. :banana:
