Knoxville Catholic vs Highlands (KY)

[QSouth89]

I have a cousin that lives in Cincinnati (he played football at Archbishop Moeller with Ken Griffey Jr.) and he was telling me that Highland, which is in Fort Thomas Kentucky located just outside of Cincinnati (some 5 miles away) has won 23 state titles.  Catholic will play them this Saturday in Corbin Ky at the Cumberland Fall Pigskin Classic. This should be a very good game between to talented teams.  I don't know how strong Kentucky high school football is but 23 titles is still impressive.

Ft. Thomas Highlands

Bluebirds

10 - 3 last year

Lost to Covington Catholic twice (second time badly , 36 - 0, I think)

Final game was quarter-finals of 5A playoffs. (The CovCath team)

My coaching friend from Corbin says that they are not the power that they once were.

How does he see this one playing out? Catholic was 9-4 and lost in the class 5A semifinals last year to Knoxville Central who won it all.

KC is a lot better than Laussane this year with the some nice transfer's this summer.  The starting QB Jancek is a 3 year starter and son of current Colorado State DC John Jancek.  Other big time players are Tyler Baron (#3 SDE in the nation), Bryn Tucker (#8 OG in the nation and Clemson Commit), Cooper Mays (#6 OC in the nation and UT commit and younger brother of Georgia OL Starter Cade Mays), Chancellor Bright ( 3 star Wr Marshall Commit), Tommy Winton Sophomore WR with an offer from UT, Karaaz Johnson Fr. WR with an offer from Georgia, and Kaden Martin Sophomore QB (Tee Martin's son, Brother of Clemson Wr Amari Rodgers, and hold offer from Alabama, Duke, Kentucky, USC, and FAU

Kc will running clock them then ..  not worth the drive to watch...

That’s crazy - I have been telling everyone KC and McCallie both have shots at winning D2 AAA this year.

I think KC has the most talented team in D2 this year. We will see what BA is made of here over the next 3 or 4 weeks.

I like your thinking!

14 titles since 2000 per Coach Matthews!

Ouch.... thought yall said this kc team was good listing all these big time players....  highlands beathing them with under 4 min to go in game...  highlands really isnt that good.. they are just a avg team they stopped being a power 4 or 5 yrs ago..  talent level just dropped off

[baylorbigdog1976]

Good game - good little Highlands team. Always well coached and long tradition there. Like Alcoa and Maryville. They do not make many mistakes.

KC will need to play better to get thru D2 but tonight did not sway me one way or the other.

BA looked pretty good at times with the Big win over Clearwater Central Catholic ( Florida)  34-3 

The next 3-4 for weeks for all teams in D2 will be tough- BA has Mccallie - Whitehaven and Catholic coming up. Catholic has tough games next few weeks. Ensworth May be better than what I imagined this year. Will not be an easy game next week away.

Might be the 6 or 7 turnovers that kept highland in the game. I'm just  guessing though.
