HHPatriots

His dad played golf with a guy here at work and he said that was the first pick 6 he has thrown EVER, in his career. In 4 years of high school, I'm not sure he had 10 INTs in 4 years and the dude would sling it 40 times a game. After throwing that INT, he came back to throw a 40+ yard TD pass and another deep ball for a completion. I'm a fan of him and I'm rooting for him--he should get the spot.

The one you speak of is the son of the head coach of KWC baseball. There is another senior baseball player that starts playing this week (3), Gunnar Hendricks, catcher on the baseball team, he will be MLB and FB. Big kid. They have improved a bit. We haven't. 9 penalties and special teams problems abound.....

I have always thought we referred to that as "Clayton Blue". No? Didn't he change it?

I just copy and paste, we are going to have to blame the guy that took over for Jon for this one!

Heritage Hills (1-0) @ Apollo (0-1) This is just the 2nd varsity football meeting between Heritage Hills and Apollo. HISTORY OF THE MATCHUP The Patriots lead the overall series 1-0. Patriots vs. The Bluegrass State – This is just the 4th time in program history that Heritage Hills has faced a team from Kentucky. The Patriots hold a 2-1 all-time record against Kentucky schools: 1977: Defeated Daviess County (12-9) at home in Lincoln City 2024: Fell to Christian Academy of Louisville (35-7) on the road 2025: Defeated Owensboro Apollo (57-10) at home Heritage Hills is coming off a dominant 49-13 victory against county rival South Spencer. Owensboro Apollo is looking to bounce back after a heartbreaking 58-50 double-overtime loss to Murray (KY). PACK THE STANDS this Friday to cheer for the RED, WHITE & BLUE! 2025 HH 57, Apollo 10

HH/Apollo could be a good game this year....the fact that we graduated entire O and D lines along with all our linebackers could expose a weakness, or 10. They went into 2 OT with Murray last week, Murray is always good. Dunno what to think of this game this year.

Heritage Hills (0-0) @ South Spencer (0-0) This is the 56th meeting between Heritage Hills and South Spencer. HISTORY OF THE MATCHUP The Patriots lead the overall series 43-12. The 12 wins that South Spencer has over Heritage Hills is second to Southridge for the most wins of any opponent against the Patriots. South Spencer is one of only three teams that have been on the Patriot football schedule at least once, every year, since their inaugural season in 1972. Like many of the Patriot's opponents, the Rebels dominated the Patriots in the early days of the series winning 5 of the first 7 meetings. The Patriots went on to win 4 of the next 5 games to tie the series up at 6-6. The Rebels would regain the series lead 7-6 with an overtime win in 1984 and the series would remain tightly contested through the first 21 meetings. After a Rebel win in 1991, the Patriots led the series by a slim 11-10 margin. After that loss the Patriots won the next 19 meetings before the Rebels ended the streak with a 14-0 win in 2011. The Patriots have won 13 out of the last 14 games since the loss in 2011.

While I am not Catholic (Southern Baptist here), the overwhelming majority of our community is Catholic. Maybe you are on to something.

While I realize that we have to play them, it is such a waste of a week. It does nobody any good. Our county rivals are anything but rivals. Good news for us is that this is supposedly the last year we are playing ours....but they are no longer in the conference. Princeton should get in a different conference.

Who will be taking snaps for the Titans--Zach have a little brother? Pending us getting our lives together, I do believe we will be very competitive to win the sectional. Reitz will be tougher (I think) and Jasper is an unknown. Putting a running clock on Jasper on their field in sectional was one of the most fun games I have ever watched. They deserved all that beat down. But, there is a ton of football between now and then....if the draw puts us with Jasper, they will be out for blood. Other conference stuff....For Southridge--Luke Messmer will change things for the better being on Coach B's staff. I would bet that they will be bigger, stronger and faster with him on the staff.

Tyce Winchell has been the backup behind Jett. Unless something has changed, I'd say he is the guy, which is no secret. He was as fast as Jett, but doesn't have the size. Tyce is a great kid, humble, quiet, does his job and moves to the next play. He has been a gunslinger, which comes with good and bad. Fact is you can always come up with a skinny kid to run fast--that's never the problem. What is a problem and also no secret is that we graduated 5 veteran offensive lineman who also played DL. With all that said, we do have a secret, and it is kept about as well as the new head coach secret was kept. We are getting close. I don't know if we will have anything for the Titans this year, but I think we will be competitive. Kevin's first year at HC.....it was a rocky one for Todd in his first year, I'd say Kevin may have more to work with but losing generational talent won't help.

He really is, when we played them in sectional last season I'd say he was the fastest kid on the field that night. As a freshman last season he probably didn't weigh 120 lbs, but that didn't matter, he was hard to catch and very slippery. If he sticks with it, he could be very interesting when he puts some weight on.

It pretty much is indeed the worst kept secret. They tried to keep it on the down low, but that typically doesn't work well round here. I think it will be "official" next Monday.

Alex Bettag at Roncalli, who was previously at Southport is an example. But who wants to come back? Who knows?
