The better team won, and quite honestly in the polls, the two teams need to flip flop. Campbell shouldn't be ranked, CovCath should be 7 or 8. Erpenbeck is still CovCaths' best weapon, was the better QB between him and Kremer. I liked the way Kremer stayed in the pocket and wasn't afraid of that, and I think there are times Erpenbeck needs to do that, but other than that Kremers' decision making is poor. Erpenbeck was just solid all around. It helped him that Connelly was bringing in pretty much every pass thrown to him tonight, it was definitely a good night for him. Schaeffer also ran well. The line held well. Overall CovCath looked much better, and was the better team. Campbell killed themselves on offense, especially when their defense made some big stops to keep them within one score but the offense just couldn't get it done. Congrats CovCath on your first win under Wirth .

That is a potent offense Highlands has over there...I'm glad everyone waited all year to see it. In all seriousness, the people who predicted this to be a 56 to 0 blowout just got a slap. The reality of it is, this team just isn't what they were it's time to get some realistic expectations. Are they going to win most of their games? Yes. (St. X will walk..) But it isn't going to be absolute stomps. There are some Highlands fans (Like LN who predicted that Withrow would come out and be better than most though and the score wouldn't be as bad) who ya'll should take a look at.

Boone...ouch.

lol because they only beat Withrow 21 to 0. There were many who were sure this was a 56 to 0 blowout. And St. X is..two weeks away. People will be in a frenzy.

Wow. I mean I kind of saw this coming, but not 0 points for Manual.

Completely.

I think the players on the field had heart. If you saw their faces after their final game, and you saw them at their games, you'd know they gave it their all. Only so much they can do without a coach offering any support, and I'm sure you know he didn't. And I think the crazies had a lot to do with the coach, not so much the players. I mean the basketball team was AWFUL, but people still showed up for that. On top of it all, last years senior class was not spirited..

No it's no problem at all, lol. YOUR comments aren't the ones I find immature or bothersome. I think you're right, and I like your enthusiasm for the new coaching staff.

Alright, well I've got some homework to do as thrillng as this has been, BUT i'll leave you with this lol. You're totally correct, Zach had about 2 seconds every time he got the ball, but I still think they did okay at times. The team this year has struggled with their fair share of sacks as well. And their schedule was MUCH tougher last year, and by now they'd won over New Cath (who was good) and Dixie. I hope you're right and they do win over CCHS, but I also think you're underestimating CCHS and overestimating Lasalle.

lol, I don't blame all of it on the coaches, but it's fair to say a goooood bit could be pointed in that direction. And really it just seems like you have a personal issue with Zach...not that he was bad, or had no leadership, and it might be time for you to grow up and move on...

He started because Isler was hurt. Young wasn't getting the job done. Erpenbeck wasn't even Islers' backup. (although I do think he should have been). Regardless, I understand colonelnations' insistence on bringing up the past and constantly digging at my brother, but really it shouldn't be brought up. Ya'll should worry less about last year, and more about this year, seeing as they were 2-1 at this point...

The last two years teams' had heart and more talent than this team, but they had no guidance or leadership through the coaching staff, and I'm sure you know how much that affects a teams overall play and demeanor. I'd be shocked if this team makes it to the 3rd round of playoffs, and a 5-5 schedule on top of that would indeed make Wirth in consideration for COY of the year consideration.

WKUFan your positivism is a good attribute and you're a true fan for sure but if you can't see some pontentially bad bad blowouts in the future..eek. As for CCHS having more talent. I don't think they do necessarily. I just think they're a lot better than 14 points...

What year are these RBs for Ryle? Pulice and the other one? That is crazy that they'll have Elliott and then these boys coming up the ranks.

Wow, that is crazy. It didn't really hit me how big of a weekend it is lol. I wish all of these games were on tv. Can't make it to any of them. And i agree it'd be a good setup to play some games like this and then play the UC vs. Louisville game. Anyways, I'll go with an OH sweep.

Yeah sorry, I know it's Nichols but whenever I start to type that I just want to say Nicholas lol.

I've heard Kremer (QB for CCHS) has improved a ton from last season and is really a big threat on offense. I've also heard Coach Styer has his team in the mindset that this CovCath team is as good as ever, and not to overlook them at all. If he indeed has them going into this thinking that, then I think they'll come out with a win in a 1 TD win, 28 to 21. If they go in thinking they're going to walk all over CovCath they may get surprised, because CovCath is down, but they aren't out. If they can't contain Erpenbeck running, especially on third downs, they're in trouble. I haven't seen Campbell County personally, but someone who has seen both teams has said Campbell County has the edge and should win this, but I think this one has the potential to be down to the wire.

I think Holmes, Beechwood, NCC and Covcath are all too close to call. I could see any team being the other at any given time. Holmes is better than many people think from what I've heard. Same for NCC. Beechwood and CovCath are just down and rebuilding. CovCath is definitely better than Scott, but it looks like CovCath got 15, and Scott got 9..so.

You're misunderstanding. I don't not like Highlands THE TEAM. I don't much care for some of the fans constant over the top statements/hype that you mentioned. Some of the "No one is better, or will ever be Highlands" banter. But as for the football team, nothing against them. I think they'll handle Withrow, easily. I think X is going to be a whale of a game for them though..and for once I actually think Highlands fans know this and agree. I agree also that they can handle the NKY teams. The only team I saw coming close was Ryle..and now SK, but they don't play SK.

I think Holmes should win this one..but you just never know and I wouldn't be too unhappy to see Cooper take it.

I know Trinity fans are of the belief they can do this...and I applaud them for that mindset, but no way. Elder wins this one big.

I don't like voting for Highlands, and I truly do think they are going to get their butts handed to them in a couple weeks, but they should handle Withrow with ease. If they don't...that is bad news for the Birds. I don't think this team is anywhere near the level they thought they'd be and that is why I think they maybe are not overlooking their opponents at this point.

I'm going to take Ryle by a few TD's (By few, I mean 3). I think NCC made a statement to people who have been doubting them with their big win over Madison Central, especially because they'd really played tough opponents in the first two weeks, and Kelly will be fun to watch, but Ryle has Elliott, Eubanks, Hempel, Nicholas..etc. I just like them in this one..but I'm not counting NCC out in future games, just think they're outmatched in this one.

I don't know. I want to say Holy Cross, but I think Beechwood is going to pull this one out and give some teams some fits. Beechwood 35 HC 21

ruly..the reason people root against Highlands has nothing to do with wanting to be them. It's just kind of sad that you honestly believe that...=/
