94 Camel

Hempel had eleven carries for 141 yards and a touchdown on the ground and was 66% with a td in the air.

However, they are not dropping eight. They either have to send one of their linebackers or their bandit or rover every play. That is what doubledeuce was talking about.

Graduation. St. X is returning several key starters, while Highlands graduated many key starters.

Please come back from the other side of the looking glass. The wizard is not going to give you courage, a heart, or a brain and SK is not going to beat Ryle next year.

What about recieving out of the backfield. That does go on his total yardage.

Then I would say that SK didn't shut down Elliot last season. However, I am hearing that UC is thinking about scrimmaging the Pioneers this year. It should be the only test they have on the season since it sounds like another high school team couldn't possibly compete with them.

Is a running back being held to over 200 yds offense considered shutting him down?

I would think they would be mad at their English teachers.

Can he out run the tooth fairy, the easter bunny, and santa clause?

Simple fantasy.

You are correct. The fact that Simon Kenton stacked up some six win seasons while losing in round one or not making the playoffs at all this past decade had escaped me. Nice non-district scheduling. Let me correct that. Four seasons with more than seven wins in their entire history.

I didn't realize Henry Clay was a benchmark for sucess in this state. Middletown lost 17 starters from last years squad. Nevertheless, I expect SK to lose at least one if not both of these games. SK will win 6 or 7 games this year, take second in district, and lose in the second round of the playoffs. They will return to mediocrity or below mediocrity by the year after. Actually, I shouldn't say return to mediocrity. You would have once had to be a mediocre team to return there. You could count the number of six win seasons for SK on one hand throughout their history.

It must suck being a Simon Kenton fan knowing that your progam has only beaten Boone or Ryle a handful of times throughout its long history. Simon will be going for their fourth win against Ryle in the last fifteen years this season. They will come up short, and life will return to normal.

How about 57 commonwealth diplomas this past year and 6.7 million dollars in scholarships to this year's graduating class?

I fail to see this percieved sense of entitlement. Ryle has paid for this field with raised funds and they are paying for the following repairs with raised funds.

Lets state the facts. The facts are that the Ryle TRACK is currently being repaired through approval of the Boone County BOE, but not with monetary assistance of the board. The money for the project was provided through fundraising. IMO, it should be provided by the board because it is facility maitinance. However, it is not being provided by the board. It is being provided through funds not given to the turf field contractor for an unfinished job.

Whith as few times as it has happened, how long does he think he will have to wait?

The people in the county didn't have to foot the bill. 50 k was not paid to the original contractor and was set aside to conduct these repairs to the TRACK out of private funds. There are many on this forum that are misinformed.

Shuttle time: 4.18 for Elliot at the U.C. camp. Quickest at camp.

You have to do more than throw four vertical and run qb draw to beat those teams.

Now I know why they had a descent team last year. They had 13 on D.:clap:

Not just Mr. Roller, but the fastest defensive front in the state last year IMO. I think Mr. Simpson, due to a bad wheel, would have had a tough time finishing the game against Highland's defense last season.

Very sad news. Seemed like a very good coach and an excellent young man. My prayers go out to family and friends.

The funniest part of his comments are that between all the games ever played between these two schools, I know SK hasn't won 25%. They have never beaten Ryle two years in a row.:lol:

Your comparing people's careers to playing a sport. Also, most of the people, not all, in the field that your talking about, have learned those lessons at some point in their lives to even want to be a teacher and a coach. As bad as the pay vs. schooling in these areas are, it is easy to see why people would want to work in a more competative district. Especially with some districts reducing pay due to budget cuts. However, how does adults being self-serving justify teaching kids to be self-serving? It is a very slipery slope when you justify teaching children self-serving behavior through means that have traditionally been meant to teach the opposite. We could debate all day why kids transfer, but imo, most do it to have a better chance at winning, not at participating. How many athletic transfers could you name through your experience that weren't already participating before they transfered?
