Hey I said that and got blasted in the Dayton Beechwood thread!!!!

Lets clarify a few things When this program first started under Howard Hall and then Bob Sieter it was very well supported from the administration. Started at a middle school level then went JV then went varsity in the third year. Won several (i think 3) games in the first year. And was a couple of points away from beating Ludlow which would have gotten them a 4 seed in the playoffs. The administration that came in after these guys were gone has not supported football at all. So your "new adminsitration" theory really won't work because you still have the same super. and assistant super. Hey I got a word violation for trying to abbreviate assistant!!!!!!!! The problem is simple: No support from the top means no support at all.

I think it is fun to read the banter back and forth but I always root for Trinity and I have no idea why. I don't know person with ties to either school........it has to be the nickname!!!!!!!!

NewCath84........Bellevue's non district schedule includes 3 larger division schools (NCC, Newport, and LLoyd). Paris was supposed to be a great team and as it has turned out are not. Bellevue's schedule on paper before the season should be considered good. They can't help what goes on in other programs.

Uh BB will be. Watched them against Bellevue who Ludlow is pretty equal to and Bellevue not exactly an offensive force could have scored 100 tonight if they wanted to.

Class act by Bellevue all the way tonight. Score could have been much much worse. Brossart fans were phenominal. What a LARGE crowd in Bellevue tonight.

BRUTAL!!!!!!!! Can the win it in 3A??????

Nobody touches the breds in my opinion. Danville the only other one in the same universe

APNW the moving of NCC and HC does make the district weaker....but the 4 seed has gone on the road and won many times and it was usually Bellevue Ludlow or Dayton. LCA does make the makeup of the other district very different as well. Although if you really look back HC only had two good years (last year being the only real good year) in the district so that might be in question.

If you went back to the old playoff system traditionally those teams in the east have not faired well against the 3's and 4's from Northern Ky. I stand by the fact that Dayton, Ludlow and Bellevue are very even and could all play with just about anybody in the state in 1A. Maybe not Beechwood, Mayfield, or LCA but for the most part can compete. The key word being compete.

I hate this mentality! Yes Beechwood should kill all opponents in the district. However...........you have to prepare kids to win. Ludlow, Bellevue and Dayton and yes Brossart all have to prepare to win and prepare kids to win. :thumb:

I think the Holmes game changed the 2A state champion talk to lets get the 2 seed in the district. NCC by a large amount.

Well the staff you had posted 3 wins in the first varsity season but was run out as soon as you changed administrations. Coach Faust is not exactly a coaching legend in Northern Ky. How many varsity wins did he have before coming to Bracken? Seriously that was a step backwards.

Bellevue and Dayton both have golf. No Tiger Woods but they do have golf.

One thing we have to realize in Northern Ky. In class A and AA we have the very best teams in the state right here. Dayton, Ludlow and Bellevue all could beat the majority of A school around the state. FC you are correct in that these teams would split if they played more than once.

Mexitucky that was exactly my point. NCC stopped the game as Highlands was at its highest point. And yes it was NCC that would not and still will not play Highlands. This to me is NCC's highest football point and Bellevue as not even considered dropping the game. Bellevue is working very hard to get its program back to a consistent level. This coaching staff will do that and ducking teams like NCC is not something they want to do.

Oh and to the NCC faithful that is another great team and as always in this game a class act by the NCC coaches. However there are many schools that will not schedule NCC because they will not take the chance of playing them. Give Bellevue the credit as you could have been traveling to some distant corner of the state to find a game. Curious question to the NCC faithful.....why not the Birds on the schedule instead of the Tigers?????????

After watching this game I can say that I don't know who in 2A is going to beat NCC. As far as Bellevue is concerned.........obviously a painful game to watch but.....if you truely want to compete against the best teams in your class you have to play games like this. It really points out the deficiencies and what needs to happen if you want to compete for first place in a district with Beechwood. Now I didn't say they were going to beat Beechwood or even come close........but playing the Carroll's and Trimble's before going into district play does not really give you a true sense of where you are against the upper echelon. This game does. Kudos to Bellevue for scheduling the likes of NCC, Newport and Lloyd for the non-conference games. Now before you say Newport is awful remember these games were scheduled in Oct. of last year.

Wait a minute now. First of all I have no idea who we are talking about but the principal/AD at Bracken I feel is pretty top notch. But that is from an outside observation only. She seems to be able to do a great job.

I have to agree that comparing schedules is a bad move. Look for an early indicator. A long drive by Bellevue or a turnover or 2 early will keep the game respectable. A quick score or two by the Breds will bring the blowout!!!!!!

Good point but I think the schools have been making great improvments lately and the programs athletically are starting to come around.

Dice do you really think this is a bad game for Bellevue to schedule? It helps give them a strong non district opponent The next two weeks are Brossart and Bracken so this is a game they really need to step up in to compete. When the return game is at Bellevue in 08 it is usually one of the largest crowds of the year and financially it is huge.

Good post Mexitucky. Newcath does exude class even if I am not an NCC fan. I hope Bellevue can at least move the ball on them but even if they don't it is a great game for Bellevue to look at deficiences before playing more district opponents.
