  1. One key for this game is special teams...If your Covcath you can't allow Noon to change the game on Special teams like he has in several games... He single handedly did so against Ryle... Not that others didn't play well but his Punt returns changed that game... He also kept them in the game against SK.... If Covcath can win or at least stymie big plays in Special teams... I think Covcath has a great chance... If not the streak might end on Friday!

     

  2. The move to Bottom at QB was brilliant... keeping both Noon and Benke as weapons really does open up the opportunities for the Highlands offense.... I also thought it was by far the best the O-line has played all year.   

    It will be interesting to see how either CovCath or Cooper, with a week or two of preparation will attack the New look Highlands Offense.... Caught Cooper by surprise so they didn't have many blitz packages ready for the young QB.   As a result he had plenty of time to throw and did so excellently.... Will CovCath and Cooper change that philosophy and attack the young QB with various blitz packages and disguised coverages?   Will be fun to watch the chess match between coaches... because it's my opinion that physically all three teams are very evenly matched....

  3. I have no idea about getting a raw deal for either coach, but Eicher had one playoff game win in 4 years. That's why they got rid of him. I believe he is the only coach before and since to not have won a state championship. He was a very nice guy, he was not a great Highlands coach. The coach that replaced him won state in his second year with a terrible team by all accounts.

     

    As turns out Coach Wirth and Coach Eicher had a lot in common... Eddie won state in his second year and is a run the likes of which CovCath has not seen since the 90's.

     

    Coach Wirth did some nice things at CovCath but wasn't capable of taking them to the next level... his time at Purcell I believe confirms that he has trouble elevating his players to the next level... Good not great.... average not good..

  4. One site is reporting a 10 year 5 Million a year deal.... If that is guaranteed, tough to turn down. Rumor also has it that Xavier is trying to put together a package that would pay him approx 3 Million a year for 6 years....either way the Mack family is going to get a big pay day out of this... as an XU fan I hope he stays...but I fear the $$ maybe too much to turn down.

  5. I could see Joe Frederick going there before Ruthsatz... I think Ruthsatz made his choice a few years back... High School over college. He could have been an assistant at several colleges, but the life of a college coach and rearing a family don't go well together.

  6. They were defintely the most Dominate team ever... I agree hard to compare teams from different era's, but I don't think it's arguable that they were so much better than anyone else in KY in 5A. With the exception of a Trinity team or two, or maybe a Highlands team (maybe), no High school team I can remember was as dominate... definitely no previous Covcath team. It was a fun year to watch!

  7. Why does he deserve another year?

    The complaints were so overwhelming this year.

     

    IMO nearly 30 years of work at the school should earn you something... Not many folks were complaining when they lost in the state Finals the first 2 years...If in fact he let discipline slip and other issues with the program were a problem, unless he was told last year to fix it...he should be given the opportunity to correct the problems. Sometimes a problem doesn't surface until it's too late to fix it in a given year...If the problem continued then it's a different story. I can guarantee you that the complaining from the parents, players and Alum were significantly louder in the late 90's than they were this past year. They gave coach Schneider the opportunity to correct it, and he did. Leading to a pretty nice run for the program in the 2000's.

     

    I'll be honest I was one of those who thought Coach Schneider should have been replaced... now that I'm older I recognize that winning Football games may not always be the most important thing a High School coach does...

  8. Yup, also heard 5 players chatted with Ron. Interesting these folks all went to Ron versus the Athletic director?

    I am disappointed in Ron...Dan deserved another year, he earned that. If things didn't get better, then make the move. He forgets that the year prior to his last region title in Boys Basketball, also his last season as HC... Some of those same people were trying to get him fired as BBall coach...for not doing better with a stacked basketball team that featured 3 future D1 or D2 college Basketball players.

  9. 1 small grade school left in northern Campbell? Let's see, there's St. Therese, St. Thomas, St. Catherine, Holy Trinity, and you could just about say St. Joe's since NCC gets a fair amount of kids from there. So 4 1/2.

     

    I think his point is there used to be... St. Stephens, Corpus, St. Vincent, St. Bernard, St. Anthony, St. Francis and Sacred Heart... All of which had a larger enrollment than the Holy Trinity (which they all morphed into). The feeder system to NewCath is way smaller now, and St. Catherine and St. Thomas are significantly smaller as well. They have to get 50% of the St. Joes kids, which gets harder and harder each year, to have a chance to be a viable school let alone a viable football team.
