I will be at this showdown between 2 fine football programs.
I suspect that this game could go either way and a spread of 21 or more points is likely
as 2 explosive teams meet.

I am a new transplant to NKY so I don't have longstanding biases that many have. I like friendly smack talk but at some point Leftist comments get a little old. I did not realize just how arrogant and conceited Highlands fans were until my coworkers at the hospital clued me in a few years back.
I would like to express my opinion and explain a little about why I like to follow football.
I was asked to attend a game between NCC and Campbell County about 4 years ago before working the night shift.
I was a close back and forth game that I had to leave before it was over but I was hooked. The enthusiasm and teamwork of the young men impressed me and I have been a fan since. It was hard to imagine that a school the size of NCC with 211 male students NCC could compete with a school 4 times larger. I have coworkers in an often very stressful situation who have sons that play on various teams. A common value that we share is to see these young men develope into strong responsible adults.
Teamwork and dedication to excellence means something to us.
Working long 10-12 hour shifts under stress often leaves us physically and mentally exhausted.
To get by we often like to talk football on the way out in the parking lot...it helps us continue to push harder.
It may be crazy but a couple years ago when an auto accident left me without any help in my department. None the less
it was busy and I had to push even harder to deliver quality health care. The phrase "Kues on the keeper" was thrown around as
I scrambled to save pulmonary embolism victim. I both kinetically dosed and prepared blood thinners etc but had
to literally run like crazy to get it done. Since then my nurses and I have had several occasions where we have
had to give it the extra effort and teamwork to save lives and relieve suffering. Over time I have run like the brothers Kelly
when something was needed quickly. When they need something fast I often challenged to get it as fast as...
Brady Hightchew has "saved" more lives then anyone but there have been too many to mention. Jerry Arlinghaus was the first non NCC
player...when I needed to dose and prepare meds for a severe myocardial infarction. Kyle Fuller has also "scored".
Tyler Durham from CCHS, Travis elliot from Ryle, even Anthony Stewart from as far away as Gallatin County have been
"used" to improve care. My tech was called to update me that Campbell county beat Ryle...it helped add a little spring in my step knowing that they pulled off the upset.
It is funny that Highlands is the closest geographically but have NEVER been called on in
this crazy situation. But Bihr has so I'm pulling for the Colonels.

I guess the point is that teamwork and character matter. In real life the winners are not always just the ones
with the most points. I disdain arrogance but earned pride is OK. I will enjoy tonights game and dedicate
my next "scamble" to the star of this game regardless of whether its HCC or NCC.

Strangest post ever. Maybe they're letting the guys in the ward post this week?
