Highschool Football

The summer is in swing...but around the corner is the high school football season. Most folks in Southern Kenton have ties to Simon Kenton or maybe Pendelton Co... Highschool football has always been an interesting subject. From the viewpoint of having gone through the system 20+ years ago I have certain ideas.

For instance, why does Simon Kenton never have a dominate team? Over the years they have had very good basketball teams.... and no one could doubt the success of the wrestling program could they?

Is there something in the water in Ft. Thomas that makes good football players? Do the Adults that live in 41075 have better genetics than the folks in 41051 & 41063? No... they have tradition and will... and along with that gives you better coaches and a few transfers each year that take them over the edge each season.

But...... are the times a changin'

Years and years ago when I was in Simon Kenton...we got our butts kicked by the good schools.. but each player knows their position on the field... meaning .. is this guy that much better than me...or is the system better...and the result of the play is the team working together..

I keep thinking that the time is coming when the south part of Kenton comes alive.... the houses are going up but more bodies do not mean a winning program... but

Many of the adults that now live in SC maybe went to Cov Cath or Highlands or a Cincy school with a great tradition... they don't believe that notion that SK is a perennial cellar dweller?

What about the success of Pendleton Co.?...

It all comes down to attitude...

The one thing that Cov Cath... Highlands..Beechwood.. and all successful programs have.

This is a great link... http://www.bluegrasspreps.com/

You can get schedules....pictures.. and talk about highschool sports in Ky... AND the site is locally owed and operated...this one is not a cookie cutter site from NY with a page for each state...

I know the webmaster pretty well.. I checked out his site and asked him....
Why no Simon Kenton?.... were are the pictures of my team?

he answered... "Win some games!"

Timing

Timing seems to be everything in some circumstances... The London attack will overshadow all news stories for the next week or so.... No one will care about the Dems attack on Bush's nominee or the latest tragedy of a missing child or women. I suppose sometimes it can be fortunate to have your gaffes happen at the right time..

What a Layout!

A sign of the times... maybe Ben the QB showed up.... This really makes me consider the amount of time I spend in front of the noize box...

The World Gets Stanger & Stranger.....

The denomination that is not a denomination has stated that as a denomination they should not ban same-sex marriage. But I thought they were not a denomination? In any case I thought we were supposed to read the bible (make sure you choose the correct translation) and come up to our own conclusions.....

Battle for the Nation's Soul?

With the retirement of O'Connor and Rehnquist soon to follow, the intellectual elite are all up in arms. Now we see how vital the last presidential election was. Our friends from across the pond are afraid we will "reverse decades of social accomplishments" . You will hear it implied over the next few weeks that Bush will appoint "radical right" judges who will turn back to making slavery legal and eliminate the rights of every pervert. Perhaps if Gore had been elected, we could look forward to Judges that would have the blessing of NAMBLA.

The BBC view of the events are interesting...
