If you look at the BGP prediction poll, Dayton was favored 56 votes-25 votes. Apparently some consider it an upset:ylsuper:.

Great game for both the Tigers and Greendevils. Either team could have won and walked away feeling lucky. I agree the officiating was very spotty, but for both teams. Bellevue played better this time around by taking care of the ball. Dayton, you had a great season, had many big wins against 6A schools. Feel proud of you accomplishments. Bellevue, way to go out and not give up late in the fourth quarter, as other teams would have. You showed a never say die effort.

Wow, I did not see that. It must have happened before I got in there. Kind of reminds me of Warren Sapp's pregame ritual. However, I did see a Bellevue coach stand right in the middle of Dayton's homecoming parade to stop it so that their bus can get to the parking lot. GUTS!!!! This is a great rivalry, and I would look for it to be the most physical of all first round games.

Congratulations to the Mustangs. It takes alot of heart and courage to fight through an 0-10 season knowing that you will probaly get blown blown out in most games. Keep lifting weights, and learning football. The program will improve.

they have new coaches?

Okay, who talked!

and now for my best Jacke Gleason impersonation "POW...to the moon"!

How did Dayton lose? I know they were banged up. Did they sit alot of starters to get ready for the playoffs?

If the coach has rules about missing practice, then he should stick to his rules and not show favoritism. Allowing the kids to play after missing a practice would send the wrong message to the team.:confused: Stick to your rules, Coach!!!!!!!:thumb:

I heard that Gallatin has will have several players who will sit the first half because they will be missing a practice to attend an FFA event. Is this correct?

Bellevue (5-4) makes a trip to Gallatin Co (6-2) to play under their new lights. They have one common opponent in Bracken Co. Gallatin won 37-7, and Bellevue puts up a score of 52-8. What are your thoughts?

or Brossart

I thought Bracken was Blue and White. Oh, you must be looking ahead.

Do they have a mascot yet?

I am not going to accuse Beechwood of running up the score. I feel wholeheartedly that when young kids, 2nd and 3rd teamers get their chance, they should play just as hard as if they were the starters. Which leads me to one question for the Beechwood faithful. I was not at the game but was told that Beechwood did not bring their freshman team. Is this true? Certainly, against a first year team like Brossart, the dominate team in Class A would figure that they would put up enough points to play freshmen.

Nobody is really fine after a mild concussion (reported by many NCC players). Especially young people under 18. That is why the KHSAA has guidlines on this. If the effects last under 15 minutes, then they are encouraged to go home, and rest. If the effects are longer than that or they lose consciousness, then they should see a doctor, which I think is a 7 day hold out. If I were an NCC fan, I would be worried about playing my #1 QB against Bellevue in a non-district game. Why take the chance on a big hit? Not wise on the coaches part!

Enough about Bellevue and Ludlow. This thread is about Dayton and Ludlow.

She is sooooooo lucky!

Why was there no wing on the right side to protect? Why did the end leave on the snap?

Am I mistaking or did Ludlow take advantage of 7 Carroll Co. (or was it Trimble) turnovers? Does that mean that Carroll was the better team and "gave" Ludlow the win? But it is somehow different for Bellevue?

Turnovers ARE a part of the game. Teams can create turnovers by being in the right place at the right time (that is what team practice, film sessions, and 7 on 7 practices are for), stripping the ball, tip drills, shutting down the run and forcing the pass (a ball in the air belongs to anyone), and putting enough pressure on the QB to hurry a throw. So quit bellyaching about Bellevue's fortunes in the turnover department. They won, period!

Great job, Tigers! You played hard and earned it. Now you better get focused on NCC.

And Bellevue had nothing to do with that?

Paris would run Newport out of Ky. with their speed. Of course they looked better last week. Paris had 20 pts at the half, but did nothing in the second. I though they played a terrific game.

I still believe that Bellevue was very fortunate to receive so many gifts from Newport. Paris is filled with athletes that will hold onto the ball. Paris 28 Bellevue 6
