Henry Clay defense appears to be better than last year, when they stopped the run against boone pretty well.

Last year was a miserable game, it was cold and raining. I'd say that Boone had as much with stopping the run as HC did, they fumbled in the redzone twice! With that said, Henry Clay had a good passing attack and Boone had no answer for that. Boone is a much improved defensive team this year. Reports are that HC has played extremely well the last four games and seem to be peaking at the right time. I hope that Boone doesn't have a let down after their big win last week. Look for a close one; I'll take Boone 21 - 17.

Part of that was probably due to the defensive adjustment Ryle made at the half. They were determined not to allow the sweep as easily in the second half. I watched the game on TV and was impressed by the effort by both teams. Congrats to you, Boone Co. on winning the district.

Ryle made some good adjustments and Boone did loose some intensity. My son said that the coaches didn't care for the TV timeouts, it affected their momentum. So much of the game is fueled on emotion.

Quainoo is a very unique name. Wonder what the heritage is?

He was born in Kenya and his family move to the Bronx in New York City. They relocated to Bonne County several years ago.

I agree - I watched on ICN6 last night and was extremely surprised by the call on Lokesak. The TV didn't show the personal foul, so I couldn't comment on that. The unsportsmanlike call was extremely weak, though as it appeared he wouldn't have gotten in to the endzone without the dive.

 

Word has it that the personal foul came on a BC player who was running side by side a Ryle player and threw a shoulder into him (hitting him in the shoulder as well), the Ryle player left his feet. The Ref turn to see him falling down and ASSUMED the block came in the back. I too found it suspicious that the play happened at midfield yet the flag wasn't thrown until afte Lokesak crossed the goal line.

I was sitting behind Lokesak's father and he went nuts!

Boone County sixth??? They're 6-1; undefeated in the district, and playing for the District championship tonight. Ballard has 3 regional losses and 1 of those were in the district yet they're rated higher than Boone??

What are some of the better records than Boone in NK? Why do people find it so hard to give the Rebels their due respect. No one said they were the best in the state! Just to this point, they are the best in their district. Again, tonight will tell all. By the way coaches don't score touchdowns and make tackles, players do.:sssh:

That's why they play the games!

Sure would be nice if they moved the game to Ryle's turf field and eliminate some slippery field issues. Somehow I just don't see that happening though. Obviously, my only concern is that I don't want to see Boone ruin their field for their home playoff game.

The field is so dry. It will take more than the rain forecasted to alter the field for the playoffs.

If the early reports about him were right, he's out.

Unfortunately, it looks as if Alford is out for the year. Walsh, the senior backup, has split snaps with Alford in practice all year and proved against Dixie that he's ready to play. He has command of the offense and can make all the throws.

I'll take Boone. They may not have as many skill athletes as last year, but they're a better team. Their defense is much better than last year's. Boone 21-7.

I thought this would have been a better game.

Boone's defense is much better than people give them credit for. They're fast and react quickly to the ball. It's difficult for many teams to sustain any kind of momentum against them.

Who played QB for Boone?

Mike Walsh played QB and did very well. There were a couple of procedure penalties, probably due to the different cadence but other than that, Boone looked very smooth.

I agree, Boone's defense was in the backfield all night long, and when SK was able to get outside, they were bottled up by the Rebs. I think BC is by far the best 6A team in NKY, but I still find it hard to believe they were up 42 at the half.

The BC stands were shocked as well. We were very concerned about this game. Boone was coming off the Bye week and two weeks ago they had Cooper. With SK's playoff hopes on the line and the ability of Simpson, we were holding our breath and looking for a slug fest. Boone not only arose to the challenge, they showed me that they're hungry.

Final. Boone dominated from the start. Hope Alford is ok and back for next weeks game. I heard he had a pinched nerve and everything should be alright.

The report is that he's OK and he went to the hospital as a precaution. He was expected to be released tonight.

SK must have laid an egg tonight. Boone is good but a 35 point loss at SK? Where was the motivation to play the game? I have to question the coaching at SK when they were the preseason pick in NKY 6A and it looks like they would have to pull a major upset vs. Campbell to make the playoffs.

Boone came out and "punched them in the mouth" and SK was on their heels the rest of the night. Boone's defense was relentless, they were not going to let Simpson run on them.

What time is the game?

 

Enguirer has 7:00, khsaa has 7:00, but a Simon Kenton family says their schedule has 7:30.

 

Anyone know for sure !

My son plays for Boone and he told us last night that the schedule (7:30) was wrong and the game starts at 7:00.

Charles Quainoo From Boone County

 

 

3 games played, 697 yards rushing on 108 attempts and 7 TD's

Actually, he has 1047 yards on 156 attempts and 12 touchdowns in 5 games for an average of 209 yards per game. Keep in mind that he didn't play the entire first quarter against Cooper because of the score. I respect Boone for not padding his stats.

Conner dominated the game with the exception of Ryle's first drive in the second half. I would have liked to see less passing and more of Pugh in the first half and Conner may have put it away early. Pugh looked unstoppable at times.

Boone played them the first quarter. The score was 42-0. It was 14-0 30 seconds into the game (an opening kickoff return for a touchdown and then an int. on the first play from scrimage for a td). Boone took a fair catch on every pass and the first two strings didn't have a pass attempt. The only one of the night came in the third quarter by the JV quarterback on a third and 20. Cooper should alot of heart, give them a couple of years to build a program and they'll be fine.

Who is he ?Jordan Oppenheimer maybe????

Correct, He'll be a star next year!

How many rushing yards for Boone's RB (I can't spell his name)?

His name is Charles Quainoo. Conner keyed on him in the first half and was very effective in shutting him down. Boone made some great adjustments in the second half with sweeps and misdirection plays. I haven't seen the official stats but I'd say that Quainoo was close to 200 yards.

Congrats to the Rebels. Any stats? How did Lokesak do tonight? Good receiver who needs to get the ball thrown his way more often.

Lokesak had one touchdown reception for 50+ yards. He made a tremendous move after the catch to get in the endzone. Overall, he probably had but three catches, Boone controlled the second half with the ground game.

Congrats to all the athletes who made it! I just wonder how Farris can rush for over 2500 yards and not one Boone offensive lineman gets in???

Everybody knows of Mr. Farris' exploits this season, but how about some love for his linemen? Somebody from BC please shout out the names/position/grade of these workhorses who have plowed the way for the probable NKPOY! Good Luck tonite BC...SHOCK da' ROCKS!!

#55 John Shanks (RT) 315 lbs. and a lead sled!; #53 Chad Riley (LG); #50 Nick Blessing ©; #88 Sam Brown (TE); #52 Jake Beard (LT); #43 Andrew Brown (TE); and #65 Andy Rich (RG); as well as several other capable back ups! They move them around alot and try to keep their legs fresh. By the fourth quarter, they tend to dominate. Unfortunately, most of them are seniors but there are some talented young men ready to step up next year. Keep an eye on #68 Tyler Potter, a sophmore who has tremendous blocking and footwork techniques. These young men have done an exceptional job this year and haven't recieved much recognition outside of Corey Farris who is quick to point out that they're the reason for his success. These young men are standup fellows as well. If I'm not mistaken, most of them attended every JV game to support the underclassmen. They've got their work cut out for them tonight, but they've proven to be warriors all season. Good Luck Rebels!!!

Yes I am in Rome now wih our water supply waiting for the Holy Fathers blessing to assure a victory Friday.

You're going to need it!

On paper, on tradition, and even on talent Boone doesn't have much of a chance; but that's why we play the games! All Arkansas had going for it yesterday against the #1 team in the country was heart and one heck of a running back. Who knows? Lightning may strike twice! Go Rebels!!!!
