Knoxville Catholic vs Highlands (KY)

Recommended Posts

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.

How good is kc compared to laussane.. ? Highlands has been down for several years now..  they are ranked 5th in 5a ... from what i see should be a pretty comfortable game for kc..  

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

14 titles since 2000 per Coach Matthews!

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.

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

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

    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
