Let's talk about the running games. Unofficial stats show that CCHS picked up 77 yards on 35 carries. That's 2.2 yards per carry. Boyle rolled up 232 yards on 32 carries (7.3 yards per carry) and Rees broke some big gainers along the way.

The thread leading up to the game made much of Christian's tough schedule and how they put up big rushing numbers on some great teams. Conversely it was said that Boyle padded their stats against weak opponents. Those arguments don't hold much water now though. I wonder what happened?

I was one who had not seen either team play and picked CC strickly by schedules and stats. Boyle proved me wrong and won in impressive fashion. Best of luck in the playoffs!

Based on the above analysis, is it fair to say that this Boyle Defense is the best that anyone has seen in at least SIX years?

When you hold Cincinnati St X to 7 pts, then you can call yourself the best defense anyone has seen in at least 6 years.

According to their paper, these three were out:

Christian County (6-4), the sixth-ranked team in Class 5-A, was without starting quarterback Alex Davie, who suffered a concussion last weekend. In addition, linebacker John Paul Finley broke his collarbone in an off-field incident last weekend and wide receiver Marcoreyon Tandy was severely dehydrated after last week’s loss to Murfreesboro Oakland and did not play.


I know you aren't saying it but it always gripes me when everyone talks about this injury or that one, particularly in print. Every losing team can pretty much come up with the excuse that if "so and so" had played the game would have been different. I found little sympathy for my teams in the past when star players were out so I doubt I'll shed tears for other teams in the same circumstances. :Thumbs:

You are 100% right, good teams find a way to win when players go down. Highlands has lost the 2 stars of the team (Div 1 players) for games this year and continue to find players to step up and take their place.

There's no excuse for the parents to not support their sons. I am not from that aera but how come the students are not involved? From what I seen on Sr. night, it was very sad. I counted 4 people in the stands for this.

that years highland cc hasnt faced them this year.

Man, I'm afraid this whole conversation has went right over your head. I never said a thing about Highlands or St. X. I do know that Boyle completely shutdown this Christian County team that was supposed to be so big, fast, and athletic. In fact they laid a big fat goose egg on them on their own field, in the rain, after a 3.5 bus ride! It didn't surprise me or most Rebel fans at all; but it sure did catch you and a few other know nothings by surprise. :thanks:

That makes no sense. Is that English?
