This one game reminds me of the final HHS game from the 2013 season and the 2014 season, but for completely different reasons. This 2015 Pulaski teams reminds me of the 2013 Collins team. About 6 or 7 very good players. Game changers. Team in a two-platoon system that allows these 6/7 players to be substituted in on the other side of the ball when needed. Jackson got several snaps at safety ( great wide out ). Helton ran the wildcat and made the crucial first down catch (LB). Mosely inserted at slot back or tight end (OLB). There were others but you get the point. Collins HS did the same thing in 2013 to end the Birds string of state championships. I am reminded of 2014 as both that game and this game were a tale of two halves. I now know how the Owensboro fans felt after last years state game. Last years adjustments and second half domination by HHS, became this years signature for the Maroons.

It was stated in the varsity thread that the JV team is so good that they would be ranked between 5-7 in the 9th region. That's a strong statement. A group of frosh and sophomores would rank ahead of the likes of Dixie, Ryle, Holy Cross, Highlands, Boone Co, St Henry and Conner. Going to be a boring season for these boys playing against the JV teams of inferior varsity squads. Not so sure they would rank that high, but if some believe this to be so we need to resurrect the theme from last year. #Dynasty

It has a name. Priapism.

October 20th, 2014. Thirteen months ago this happened. This isn't about race. This is about corruption and cover-up. Only charged because the video to be released. Everyone involved in this cover up should not only lose their jobs but also be charged with a crime.....from the police chief to the district attorney to the mayor.

I had the second one = 28 Using the formula the third is 496

You can walk in at kickoff and get a good seat. Parking is a whole different situation. If you get there an hour before kickoff you can park on the street on the North end of the stadium and upon leaving you can head straight to the expressway on Memorial Pkwy. Five minutes from car to I-471 tops.

Currently 70 teams have won 6 games. There are 9 teams that have a chance of getting to that 6 win mark. With 40 Bowls ( one being the championship ) being played, 78 different teams are needed. It is very possible a 5-7 team plays in a bowl.

That's all great information. Helps to put into perspective why Pulaski only scored 34 points against an average 4A school that gave up 43 to a weak 4A school just 7 days earlier. Doesn't help explain why Bourbon was able to put up 27 points in the contest. A dominate 5A school should shut down an opponent like Bourbon. Like I said, this is the game I see in Pulaski's season that makes me believe HHS has a great shot of moving on. Fool's gold. Maybe. We'll see.

Throughout the season I bought in to the Pulaski is the best team from the east. Pulaski will cruise to BG. I recognized that HHS and CovCath were the major competition and were not having favorable results. Even with the common opponent score comparison of each HHS and Pulaski versus Scott Co being similar, the games were very different. Huge advantage to Pulaski. Then October 30th happened. Pulaski versus 4A Bourbon County. A team coming off a loss to Harrison County. Not your state championship level competitive teams. Pulaski came from behind to defeat Bourbon. It was a win, but very unimpressive for a team with high expectations. Injuries or penalties or turnovers - whatever the reason - Pulaski is no longer the beast in the east.

Are you overlooking Lafayette????

HHS fans know and expect great efforts from Tyler Robinson, Jared Dougherty, and Nick Kendall. All excelled tonight. How about the play of WR Eric Miller and OLB Luke Lindeman. Outstanding.

One of the biggest reasons HHS has been on so dominant for the last decade plus is stellar QB play. Tonight AUSTIN HERGOTT stepped into his D1 shoes and strutted his stuff. Congrats Austin. Do it again next week.

How long does it take to get to Grand View University in Iowa from the Northern Kentucky area??

Now thats a bold prediction. It's been over 140 games and 10 years since HHS was last held scoreless.

One of the things that has helped CovCath and HHS in years past against JC is having played them a few times. They may be a one dimensional run only team, but that belly series that they run is hard to defend. Assignment football is a must. You can only learn so much by watching the films. Having the experience of coaching and playing against that offense is very important in stopping it. I think Scott struggles to stop JC. Hope I'm wrong.

Each of the previous 3 years, as a player's parent, HHS/CovCath playoff game day was the most nerve wrecking day I had. Was on pins and needles each time until game result was determined. This even though HHS was a clear favorite each time. This game is a toss up. Teams are evenly matched. Easier said than done, but the team that plays the "cleanest" game will win. The team with limited penalties and less turnovers will advance.

Congrats Drew on attracting this gem to your individual fan base.

I really dislike looking at polls or averages that don't add up to 100%. I guess other or undecided actually leads with 24.8

Really cool list. Thanks for posting the link. Sort by school and you can see by year how teams compare. Matches up really well with how I remember the seasons.

This will not be the popular choice on this site do to most of us not seeing them play but ..... the 1957 team is the team that set the standard. Undefeated regular season and mythical state champions. Outscored their opponents 411-44.

Take away the pick six and the Cats win. Can we do that? Cool! While we are at it, lets take away the drops, pretend that the receivers actually block for each other, and the Vandy DL needs to count to 3 before rushing.

I keep reading statements like this and don't necessarily agree. Led Cats to 1 TD. 6 points. Threw Pick 6. -6 points. Net zero. How much better is that than Towles.

Did you say blue pants? or new pants?

Did you check out who UK is playing???? Charlotte is 2-8 , with wins over Ga State and Presbyterian College. Charlotte is 0-7 in Conference USA and have an 8 game losing streak. UK is a 24 point favorite. That should tell you all you need to know.

One poster came up with a top ten list. Every else critiques that list. How about rather than breaking down the first list - offer your own. I would if I knew anything about teams outside of N Ky - but I don't. My list would start and end with CovCath- they will be good and everyone else in N Ky will be trying to play spoiler.
