Riverside 157

Yes - trying to do to much work, holiday planning, relaxing and thinking all at the same time.... Quite foolish of me....

How about Left wing conspiracy against Hillary...? LOL

Stats are Stats: Interpret as you wish.

We must focus on Manual and play inspired football. Playing inspired, enthusiastic football with preparation spells bad news for the opponent. Go Tigers....

I here you on that one. Marshall Co. may require air travel..... It is concieveable that Daviess co. can give them a game, but I would be surprised for them to get the W. If Daviess gets the W, as do the Tigers, I will travel to Owensboro....

It would be great to get Finch back yet I really dont see it happening. Coach Glaser really goes all out to protect a young man from further injury by not playing him till he is beyond being ready.... Having said that, If we get through Manual, the next game would probably be on the road. If we are fortunate to prevail, I just dont see him coming back and being at 100% anytime real soon. I wish he was back NOW... but reality is that it maybe very difficult for him to contribute the remainder of the year with out risking further injury. I must say that I have no first hand knowledge of his rehab progress, although he is wearing a brace.... Make your own conclusions...

Birdie - Not necessary to point to the obvious. From a facilities perspective, we know what we have and they know what they wish they had. Just drop it. Accepting the new St. X athletic facilities for what they are is something many of the Rock faithful will never do. By doing so, would only concede that fact that the St. X facilities are second to none. Just accept the jabber and snide comments as a compliment. :lol:

For a regular season non district game, just way too far to travel IMO.

The scrimmage you mention was a few weeks ago. Both teams may have adjusted personnel since then... Last time I looked, Henry Clay is on the "Trinity" side of the bracket. St. X has no control over who represents that half of the bracket in the 6A final. St. X will have there hands full getting to the Final. Now, Henry Clay must advance and dethrone Trinity at Trinity the third round.... That will not be an easy task. I understand that Henry clay is undefeated in KY, they have a very good team and are in the mist of a very good season. It will take an extraordinary effort to get the W at/vs. Trinity day after Turkey Day. Good Luck and I'll be listening to the game as well.

Did Trinity and Ballard play earlier this season? Where was the game at? What was the final score? Someone jump in and answer the questions.... Then expain why Trinity is NOT a big favorite in this game...

For clarification: IF the Tigers come out sleeping and not playing inspired football, it very well could be Manual by 14 at half time. After that, its a toss up.....

^ It effects coaches and AD's as well. Sometimes it promts resignations and starts national searches for the next coach....

02 Ram - Your right. Somebody has to knock off those Rocks. St. X might be the team. Manual will have there chance if they get through Friday. It is a lot of hot water, but with the playoff record of Beaty, you can never count them out. Its up to the rest of the state to do something about it......

^ :D:D

Maybe you can see why some folks see the Rocks at the favorite..... :ylsuper:

There were some obvious "problems" for the Ryle game and the remaining FC players did not respond in a favoralbe fashion..... Male wins this one, the first half......

Game shapes up as a large margin W for the Rocks. Not surprised if it approaches 40+ ... Seems the Rock faithful are more interested in other games and thus profiding comments on other threads at a greater rate than discussing their own game. One should never under estimate their opponent.....

That says a lot to me about the game and the fans.....

If only the Atherton Rebels had scheduled The Rocks this year and the Public vs. Private debate may have been settled..... :laugh::laugh::laugh:

Any program with 17 titles (with space for #18) and 4 out of the last 5 has to be favored to win it all. Lets face it, they do not get eliminated from this tournament very often...... They are playing as well as anyone at this time, Stein is developing as a QB as well as any Rock has in his first year... Its Trinity's to lose, because they own it.....

I had the chance to check out Ryle vs. Fern Creek. I was impressed with Ryle's ability to play on the road. It did help their cause that FC fumbled the ball the first 4 times the touched it..... If Ryle can get on a roll they can make some noise.... However, next up is Boone Co.. Boone Co always seems to play good football and have a solid team. That is a credit to their program. Im going with Boone in this one..... Tradition will win out on this one...

At this juncture, what are the teams you feel have a legitamate chance to win it all: My take is as follows.... Favorite: Trinity - Track record of 5 out of last 6 is hard to beat. And by the way, they do have a team this year..... Strong Contenders: St. X, Henry Clay, Manual and Male. Next step down: Fern Creek, Marshall, Meade, Ballard, Boone and Ryle... Fun to Watch: Shelby No True Chance: Nelson, Dunbar, Madison Cent. Makes for some fun football in November and December. Good Luck to all teams.....

Could be a very close game, yet the Tiger D will prevail. Manual O can give us some fits but I think we may have learned how to stop that delayed draw.... Should be a very competitive game. I look for some surprises from the Manual team as well...... One would have to think that this is the game they have been "waiting for" all season long.... Playing at X will not be easy for the Crimsons. For Manual to win, must start out on top and stay ahead with a very good defense. The same has to be said for the Tigers, start out on top early and let the defense bring it home.... Looking forward to the pregame (GRC) festivities, brats and burgers, game time in the new stadium and the wrap up back in the park, after the game. Hopefully it will be nice and cool for the game.

Can anyone say Henry Clay......

Three in the final 4.....
