From what I hear Highlands was having trouble getting other teams to play them. IMO there are a lot of teams (and fans) who like to say "we are the best". But for some reason they don't give Highlands a call.

You bet the better team won. Without question. My schedule point was this, outside of HH, who had this team beaten? IMO, Ryle's scheduling of HH twice does not make sense at all. Sometimes, I think ego gets in the way in Union.

I couldn't agree more with the ego. :thumb:

I agree...that was some of the worst tackling at this level of football that I have ever seen. This lack of tackling was the major reason Ryle got pounded.

I thought play calling killed Ryle in the first half. It got better in the second half. Second half score Ryle. 29 - S.K. 27.

Really surprised to hear this from you Clyde. What do you base your stunned status on? I mean, take a look at it closely. What had Ryle done to make you respect them? Who had they beaten?

The better team won. But the facts are as of yesterday Ryles strength of schedule is a 22.9 and S.K. 18.8. From here on out Ryles number will go up and S.K.s down. Ryle is playing Highlands twice this year becouse some other NKY teams would not play them. So if S.K. wanted to, they could have proven it on the field. We will never know. Just a couple facts.

If the Pioneers run the table and win the 6A title, going thru X & T convincingly in the process, then a case could be made.

Those are two VERY BIG IF's. And don't count out Henry Clay.

The best team won. S.K. vs. Highlands would have been a GREAT game. Simpson looks like he is 100% for the first time this year. I thought the Ryle coaches made it easy for the S.K. D. With 8 in the box and the backer shooting the gap they still tried running up the middle in the 1st half. When they changed play calling in the second half the score was even. This makes the Ryle vs Conner next week huge. Good luck S.K. Maybe this will be the year someone from NKY in 6A can win it all.

Who all is still going despite the weather?

I wanted to stay home, watch it on T.V. warm, dry, cold ones. I just got out voted by the kids. Looks like I'll be out in the cold rain. :irked:

I think if SK beats Conner this week then SK would be the 2 but I'm not 100% sure.

Thanks again. I guess the next time I need an answer I'll just ask you. :thumb:

True that. Sometimes people think high school coaches are dealing with NFL players with exceptional abilities and able to get up for any event. Having some experience with coaching, kids' moods will change for the craziest things. For example, if there is an assembly during last period, you could bet the kids take a while to get their head on straight. They are more hyper and just not focused. They are, well, kids.

True, I also have coached kids in one sport or another since the mid-70's. A coach needs to know his or her players. Some need a kick in the butt and some need a hug. Thats part of coaching, much like being a parent. In my years of coaching high school football I think there are way to many coaches who think they are in the NFL. Like you said these are kids ages 14 - 18 it should be FUN. Many of the coaches think its about them. It should be about the kids. IMO thats why some schools are at the top year in and year out.

2 weeks.

Thanks! Are the #1 an #2 in the east and west just about set? Or are their any games coming up this week that could change anything? From what I see it should be Highlands and Cov. Cath. out of the east. And Ryle and ????? out of the west. :idunno:

Now that we have rain, will this change anything???

Wow Highlands would beat Trinity by 40 points, and St. X probably by 20.

 

I do like 7 out of the 25 teams being from Northern KY though.

So then do you think Ryle should be #3 or #4? Highlands didn't beat Ryle by 40. (Maybe next time) Also Henry Clay way tooooooo low. Wasn't it just a couple weeks ago they went into S.K. And beat them soundly?? :idunno:

When I think of a team coming out " FLAT " I think you have a team were the coaches didn't do their job getting a team ready. IMO.

They should move more kids up. Varsity needs all the help they can get.

I've seen a lot of freshmen get hurt moving up.

When do the freshmen playoffs start?????

Is it on TV live or delayed? Also, what channel will it be on?

 

Thanks

Its live, Fox sports in NKY Ch. 49 on ICN.

I hope you're joking.

Yes I;m joking. It for the S.K. people who think S.K. is 6 T.D.s better than Ryle. :laugh: I have seen these two teams play more this year than any other teams. They are about as even as you can get. Thats why I think it will come down to turnovers. And if by some chance S.K. were up by 6 T.D.s they would not put in the JV. Just ask Conner. :thumb:

Just want to ask a question? Why is it everytime someone post a thread on Ryle's freshman team score,that everyone goes off in a different direction with it. Sure we can debate Cooper's situation all day long, but keep in mind that we should be discussing Ryle's victory instead of always bring Cooper up in this thread. Please compliment Ryle's effort on the field and there players because they have earned it. Start another thread if you want to debate other issues not regarding Ryle's games.

I say enjoy it Ryle fans. When your on top people will take shots at you. Stay focused for the next month and get the job done! :ylsuper:

Here are some numbers from Maxpreps. Strength of Schedule Mayfield -4.2 and Crittenden County -4.5 Beechwood 13.1

Cooper is still 2 years away IMO. I'll take Boone big. 42 - 14.

Bluegrasspreps.com, the leader for Kentucky high school sports news and discussion, has released the following 1A rankings for October 6, 2009.

 

Class A Strength of Schedule

 

1. Lexington Christian vs. Paris 6.4

2. Mayfield vs. Ballard Memorial -4.2

3. Beechwood vs. Ludlow 13.1

4. Crittenden County vs. Fulton County -4.5

5. Frankfort at Eminence -13

6. Hazard at Harlan -2

7. Louisville Holy Cross at Caverna 5.7

8. Raceland vs. #10 ?

9. Pikeville at South Floyd 12.5

10. Fairview at #8 Raceland

IMO the only one who could beat the Ryle freshmen this year are the Ryle freshmen. That being said, this is the Boone game. I'll take Ryle by 14.

Can anybody predict how bad dixie is gonna beat holmes, i'm guessing 42 to 14

Is Holmes that bad??? :confused: Or is Dixie that good?? :confused:

I'll take the Juggs. 28 - 21

Only 12 posts in the last 24 hours. I guess the Union GAG order has been given.
