Beechwood defeats Lexington Christian 38-35

The Beechwood Tigers just won the 2007 CLASS 1A State Football Championship making it their 10th State Title. Beechwood led 21-14 at halftime but let the lead slip away in the 3rd quarter and was down 28-21. Beechwood then scored 17 unanswered points and held off LCA late in the game. Ryan Amelung really sparked the Tigers today with a 99-yard kickoff return TD and a punt return TD.

Bengals are Done!

Lets face it, the Cincinnati Bengals are done for the season, even with 9 games to go! Their head coach has no confidence in them, the players have no urgency out on the field, and they do not know how to win when their backs are up against the wall. Even if they went, lets say 7-2 over the next 9 games (which will never happen), they would end up being 9-7, which would probably not be enough to make the playoffs. This past Steelers game was huge, but I don't think Marvin or the Bengals realized it!!

15 Laterals to Win!!!

If you have not seen this video yet, please do! This is really almost unbelievable as a college team, Trinity (TX) Div IIIA won on the final play with FIFTEEN LATERALS, you have to see it to believe it!!

Jets vs Bengals Game

Went to this game with my wife last week and we had a blast! We did some tailgating, hung out with some friends, and enjoyed some adult beverages and freshly cooked food. It is truly amazing how some people make Bengals Sunday "their life", not a part of their life, but their life. I guess with only eight home games you have to make the most of the games and it's definitely an excuse to party!

During the walk to the game itself, I noticed how many Bengals jerseys' people were wearing. Not only are people paying $65 a ticket to see a game (or perhaps not if they don't make it from too much to drink), but $80 per jersey!!! The NFL has a very good thing, and it makes lots of money.

The only bad experience we had from this game was the two older ladies who sat next o us! First they complained about a guy who was standing most of the time, then they started to complain about their purses getting wet from spilt beverages . . . my wife and I were both very annoyed and both agreed they should be watching this game from home, not in the 4th row of the lower section!!!! I know it's annoying when some fans cuss and get obnoxious, but these older ladies were obnoxious just from the constant complaining . . . GO HOME LADIES if you want to complain about stuff like that. Anyhow, the second half was great . . . after the first half I started considering selling my Browns tickets (Dec 23), but after scoring 28 scoreless points, that soon changed!

Up next is the Pittsburgh Steelers. Both offenses are about the same, but defenses aren't. If we want to win this game we need some turnovers and about 30 points!!!

Online Broadcasting

Broadcasting over the internet has become really popular over the past few years. Northern Kentucky has been very fortunate to have several media outlets produce online broadcasts for NKY High School sports. Dave Schabell was the first to produce these online audio casts in the NKY area for Bishop Brossart basketball. Then CovCath jumped in and started broadcasting games for their basketball and football teams.

Now we have NKYSports.com, which helps produce the games on NKY.com offering two games per weekend for High School football and basketball. Other than the laptop, the costs for producing a game isn't too bad, but when you start broadcasting several games the costs can add up. That is why we can help broadcasts games, events, and meetings for whomever. Not only have we broadcasted High School football and basketball online, but youth football, NKY Hall of Fame meetings, college baseball, and college football.

We are also always looking for new broadcasters. Our broadcasters primarily are in college or right of out college and are in the field of TV/Radio. These broadcasts give them the experience to work on their field of broadcasting, and can assist in their interview process as all the games are archived and can be used for demos. So, if you are interested or know of anyone just visit our website and contact us.

Links to Youth Leagues

One of the topics searched a lot for NKY Sports is youth leagues. We have a variety of links provided on our Links page, which can be accessed by clicking on the NKY Leagues logo in the middle of the home page or by clicking the Links link down below.

Here you will find links to some youth football leagues, several knothole leagues, soccer leagues, adult leagues and a hockey league. Check out our other links as well as you can connect to all the sporting teams in the area and a variety of other sites as baseball and football reference sites.

Photos on NKYSports.com

The photos on NKYSports.com are being taken by DRD Photo this year. DRD started taking pictures for the website at the end of last year's football season. He has also photographed the NCC and CovCath State Championship games from last year, and Holmes State basketball games.

We usually pick a good game to photograph and if we get any requests we will focus on certain individuals. We require a deposit of $30 to focus on a kid but it is well worth it and does go towards your purchase. You can order pictures to be developed or you can purchase the digital photo file for your own use. Pricing is usually dependent on the size of the order. Many parents like to purchase pictures for their son's Senior year scrapbooks.

Previous photos on the website have been taken by Tanner Johnson Photography and Groneck Photographix.

The NKYSports.com Database

NKYSports.com has been up and running since 2005. We currently have 5,293 schedules/scores dating back to that time. One of the cool features about our site is when looking at a current schedule of a team you can view the past history of scores against other teams. Our database of schedules and scores grows everyday as we track HS football, HS girls basketball, HS boys basketball, HS baseball, and HS volleyball. We also track the scores and schedules of local colleges for football and basketball. Teams such as Kentucky, Thomas More, NKU, Cincinnati, and more.

Our picture database currently holds 2,041 pictures. Most of our pictures comprise of High School boys football and basketball games but we also have some HS girls basketball games and Thomas More football games.

The Articles archive currently holds 195 articles. The articles range from game preview to reviews, team updates, special events and much more.

Email Reminders on NKYSports.com

Did you know that you can have Scheduled games and their results sent to you via email? Just select your favorite team on the left section of the Schedules link on NKYSports.com and you will see their schedule, a little Email icon is listed with each game, when you click on this it asks for your email address. After entering your address, our database will send you a reminder about the game 5 days prior to the game. Then, after the score has been posted, which is usually within 12 hours, another email is sent to you with the Final Score.

Why have this feature? Well, sometimes there are key games within a schedule that you want to know about. So, instead of having to check the schedule all the time, you enter a reminder and have the system send you the reminders and updates.

Check me Out on ICN6

Pat Crowley of the Enquirer had myself and Mark Wehry on his "On the Record" show this week to discuss the production of internet radio. I think the shows runs about 16x and will begin airing this weekend. We discuss how we got started producing the online broadcasts and more.

Labor Day Weekend Sports Review

Friday night the Dayton Green Devils defeated Scott 14-10 to begin their season at 2-0. First they defeated Holmes, then the Scott Eagles, both are 5A schools or above. I guess Dayton is not a fluke. Their upcoming games against Bellevue and Beechwood are becoming more and more interesting!

And what's happening to CovCath? They were ranked 10th in the KY Enquirer's coaches poll this past week (behind Bellevue and Dayton), then go on to lose to NewCath 9-0. I know their stud running back Buckley is hurt but up next is Dixie, could CovCath begin the year at 0-3?

And props to Appalachian St. for their HUGE win over Michigan AT Michigan. Michigan paid App St. $400K to come play. I think it was well worth the money for Appalachian St. as not only do they get the money, but the exposure!!!! Like my 11 year old son said "Any given Saturday".

And no props to the Reds who once again tease us with a good winning streak but then blow up! They go into PIT 6.5 games out and then get swept in the opening DH, and then proceed to get swept by St. Louis. Now, they are 9 games out and only 2 games away from being in last again. Time to focus on the Bengals now!

NCC Defeats St. Henry in Volleyball

I was amazed to read that the NCC girls volleyball team had not beaten St. Henry since 2003. So, big win for the Thoroughbreds who are now 7-1 to start off the season. Check out the article on the game from NKY.com:

HOT Start to NKY Football Weekend

The Northern Kentucky High School football season started out with HOT temperatures and so did the Highlands Bluebirds in the first half of their opening game vs Ryle. Highlands jumped out to a 28-0 halftime lead and never looked back defeating the Raiders 49-21. And Highlands' hottest player was Josh Conner who ran for 227 yard and 5 touchdowns.

Then the next day, Cody Elliott and the Beechwood Tigers got HOT, but not until the 4th Quarter. Trailing 17-7 in the final quarter, Elliott had runs of 53 and 19 yards respectively, bringing the Tigers back to defeat Dixie 21-17.

This past HOT weekend also provided a few mild surprises with Dayton defeating Holmes 21-19 and Bellevue beating Newport 13-7. NewCath had an easy time with Simon Kenton 43-6.

Here's a run down of the other games:

Campbell County 28 - Tates Creek 14
Scott County 28 - Boone County 20
Owen County 30 - Brossart 6
LaSalle 34 - CovCath 7
Holy Cross 13 - N. Laurel 10
Elizabethtown 44 - Lloyd 37
Ludlow 27 - Trimble County 20
Anderson County 57 - Scott 41

Dixie Heights Colonels Football Preview

Head Coach: Tom Spritzky (83-53 in 12 Seasons)

Assistant Coaches:
Dave Sorrell, Todd Newton, Andy Buford, Steve Odom, Bill Vaughn, Stan Spritzky

Last Year's Record: 5-6

Returning Starters:
Offense
Joey Bricking (QB), Marty Molony (RB), Derrik Freeman (OT), Alex Koski (OG), EJ Dettmer (WR), Scott Sanders (OG)

Defense
Stephen Benson (LB), Alex Koski (DE), Daniel Eastham (LB), EJ Dettmer (FS), Marty Molony (LB)

This year's senior class is full of athletic ability and experience. It's imperative they learn how to lead and develop a tougher mental attitude. This group of players will be challenged with lots of talent in the junior and sophmore classes. Dixie should have intense competition for many starting positions.

It should be an interesting year with the start of the 6 Class alignment in Kentucky. Dixie is in 5A with CovCath, Highlands, Holmes, and Scott. Their first four games will be against Beechwood, Simon Kenton, CovCath, and Highlands. This is a much different schedule layout with district games being played throughout the schedule instead of at the end of the season.

Campbell County Camels Football Preview

Head Coach: Troy Styer (14-8 in 2 Seasons)

Assistant Coaches:
Keith Culp, Jeremiah Sowards, Kip Mason Jr., Adam Nelson, Greg Fangman, Terry Brown, Justin Mason, Justin Fussinger, Doug Miller

Last Year's Record: 8-4 (5-2 District)

Key Returning Starters:Andy Lay (LT), Brian Sauerbeck (LG/LB), Jimmy Brickler (RG), Ryan Eten (TE/DE), Patrick Thomer (OG/DE), Austin Studer (WR), Andy Franzen (WR), Chris Addie (WR), Grant Rose (RB), Corey Porter (S), Jordan Woodruff (LB), Nathan Kidwell (LB), Cody Owens (LB)

Offensive OutlookCampbell County will have to look to replace several skill positions, notably QB, WR, RB and TE. There is a lot of talent to choose from to reload as WR's Austin Studer, Andy Franzen, Chris Addie, and Tony Bishop will look to step up to the challenge. Senior, Nathan Kidwell (6-14 for 66 yards last year), will step in as Quarterback this year and run the offense. The strength of the team will be the receivers and the speed of the running game.

Defensive Outlook
The defense has lost many playmakers from last year, but return their top 3 tacklers in Brian Sauerbeck, Jordan Woodruff, and Cody Owens. The team's leader in interceptions, Corey Porter, also returns. Patrick Thomer should be a major contributor on defense this year as he moves to DE. The transfer from Middletown, OH, Ross Risner, should also see time at LB in the Camel's 4-4 defensive scheme. Sophmores Zach Koeninger and Michael Stacey had great spring practices and look to be ready to help out on the varsity level this year.

Overall Outlook
After finishing 8-4 last year with their first playoff victory since 1994, expectations have risen at Campbell County. A tougher non-district schedule, which includes Lexington Tates Creek, Mason County, NewCath, and Dixie, looks to get the Camels ready for postseason play. The new breakdown of their district will make it tough because now five teams are fighting for four playoff spots. Their success is contingent upon players stepping into starting roles, and their contstant battle to develop depth across the lines.

NKY Golf Review - Boone Links

Boone Links Golf Course
Grade: Birdie

Boone Links is always a good place to play golf in Northern Kentucky. My round of golf there was very pleasant this past week. We had a tee time of 8:30 AM and we started right on time. The course was in great shape even with the recent drought conditions in the area.

I consider Boone Links one of the more difficult courses to play in NKY. Amongst our foursome, only one of us scored in the 80's while the others scored in the 90's. There is a lot of slope and a few water holes to be aware of. One of my favorite holes is the double dogleg par 5, which is almost impossible to eagle unless you hit the perfect drive.

The cost is very reasonable too for the type and condition of the course. The greens fees are $40 on the weekend.

Hickory Sticks Golf Course

Hickory Sticks Golf Course
Grade: Par

Hickory Sticks is a course that offers some holes you can score low on but also hosts some holes that are difficult. The par three holes on this course offer the most challenge, especially #3, which runs about 200 yards in distance and if you go right, you'll most likely lose your ball. For the par four holes, #12 can be difficult, especially if you don't get your drive over the water, and when you're on the green, watch out for the slope . . you'll definitely want to keep your ball below the hole on this one. One of the tough par five holes is #18, which runs all uphill and is very hard to reach in two.

This course is in very good shape, the staff is always very courteous and the snack bar is always open. The course seems to be a very popular golf course with my friends as we visit this one frequently as it is also very economical at $37.00 (including cart) on the weekends.

The course is located off AA Highway past Alexandria about 10 miles from the Wilder, KY exit.

Flagg Springs Golf Course

Grade: Bogey

If you're looking for a short and fairly easy golf course with a reasonable price then check out Flagg Springs Golf Course located off AA Highway about 10 miles past Alexandria, KY.

I played this course as part of a golf outing and my group played really well scoring a twelve under par. Like I mentioned above the course is short, especially if you play from the white tees, and most of our second shots were either a 9-iron or Pitching Wedge. We didn't lose many balls as this course is pretty spread out. It does have a lot of blind shots off the tee and there is some water on the course.

The greens were in pretty good shape, which somewhat surprised me since we've hardly had any rain lately. We made several long putts and on 3 holes we had opportunities to score eagles.

Green fees for 18 and a cart will run you $35, which isn't too bad. Good course to start the year out and get your hacks in!

Stonelick Hills Golf Course

Grade: Eagle

If you're getting tired of playing the same old courses in NKY then venture out to Stonelick Hills GC located about 30 minutes from NKY. Take 275 E to the Hillsboro Exit (#59), take a right off the exit and go 6 miles.

This course is beautiful and very different. Lots of water and deep sand traps. Their feature hole is #9, a par 5 hole that features a large island green and if you get a good drive is reachable within 2 shots. I decided to layup on this hole and my decision rewarded me with a par.

The clubhouse is very big and clean. You almost feel like you're walking into a castle. The cart paths are all concrete and the course was in great shape when we played. The green fees is a little more expensive but well worth it if you want something different, and if you play after 3PM the cost is only $55. Normal weekend rates are $69 (which includes the cart). You will NOT want to walk this course though as there are many holes where you have some distance between the last hole and the next tee box.

Jeff Smith from NCC Signs with Bengals

From Lance McCallister's Blog on 1530homer.com:

It's official - Jeff Smith has not thrown his last pass at Toyota Stadium. After signing a free agent contract with the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, Smith will be back on campus this summer when the Bengals hold their annual summer camp at Georgetown College. The Fort Thomas, KY native says he is excited to have a chance to continue playing football and that it is a dream come true. "After growing up across the river from Cincinnati and closely following the Bengals my whole life, it just is a great fit for me," he said.

What's Going on With the Reds?

I took my son and a couple of his friends to the Reds game Friday night. It was the game where the Reds had more errors (2) than hits (1) until 2 outs in the 9th inning when Hatteberg hit the Homerun to tie the game and send the game into extra innings. Up to that point, it was the most boring Reds game I had ever been to. And thank goodness they won that game b/c little did we know, they would hit just as bad the following 2 games with losses to the Phillies (which came into the series with a 4-10 record).

I'm not sure what's wrong with the Reds right now, but their defense seems to be getting worse. For those of you who watched the game on Friday . . what in the world is Brandon Philips thinking when he threw that ball away! And offensely, can we just get some base runners on? Dunn is back to his old ways of striking out . . he has struck out 14 times within the past 21 at bats (that computes to 67%).

In 1530 Homer, I was listening to a caller talking about how the Reds look lazy, and I think he hit it right on the spot. Another example, in the Reds Friday win, Valentin scored the winning run on the basehit to left, but almost got thrown out at home b/c of the premature celebrating!! I think the Reds teased us the first 2 weeks and have now gone back to their normal ways!

Baseball and Rain

When I think of April, I think of the opening month for baseball and RAIN! My "C" knothole team (District 22) was scheduled to play their opening day on the 14th while I was in Myrtle Beach. I was pretty confident I wouldn't miss it b/c of the rain and I was correct! All the knothole games were cancelled in NKY thanks to good ole mother nature!

The weather in MB was pretty nice, lots of sun, and hopefully I brought it back with me for our next scheduled game Wed night!

What a Cold Week it Was!

You were a brave soul if you ventured down to GABP this past week. Besides Opening Day, between the cold and snow, it was not a good week to watch baseball at the ballpark. Nevertheless, the Reds come out of the "cold" homestand with a 4-2 record, tied for first with the Pirates.

And how about Billy Gillispie, the new mens basketball coach for the University of Kentucky. I got to watch some of the press conference, seemed like they were initiating the new Governor of Kentucky! I like Gillispie, he turned the Texas A&M program around and his team only had 4 losses this past season, only being stopped short by one point vs Memphis (if only Acie Law had made that layup -- I had them picked to win it all!).

And on the same day, Huggins decides to bolt Kansas St. for his alma matter, West Virginia. Bobby had a 6 year contract with Kansas St, but the buyout was only $100K, did they not think he was going to leave!? Oh well, I guess we'll see what unfolds in Morgantown.

And just announced yesterday, Doug Pelphery, a former UK player under Rick Pitino, leave S. Alabama for Arkansas. It kind of surprises me to see a UK player coach an Arkansas team, but I'm sure Pelphery couldn't pass up the opportunity.

And one last note for you golf fans, if you had a chance to watch the Masters this past week, you can't help root and appreciate the performance of Zach Johnson. This guy wasn't even the best golfer at his High School, was passed up by the Iowa golf team, went to Drake U to play golf and now he is winning the Masters! It was really neat to hear him talk afterwards. You could tell how passionate he is for the game and how much he appreciates the opportunity to win a great event like The Masters.

Opening Day

Opening Day in Cincinnati is basically a holiday in this area! Historically Cincinnati used to always play the first game amongst all the Major League teams. Then ESPN stepped in with their Sunday night baseball a few years ago to start the opening day season. And last night, it was the Mets vs Cards, the Cardinals? So what, they won the World Series last year, does that mean they get the first game? Regardless, good news for Reds fans, the Cards ended up losing last night! :)

What's sad about Opening Day today is my wife is going to the game and I'm not!! I'm stuck at work while she's at the game, and she hates baseball!! I can almost guarantee you I'll ask her the final score tonight and she won't know!! They'll be plenty more games to attend this year though, hopefully in the diamond seats this year!!

The Enquirer is doing something pretty cool with their Blog today as they're describing today's events. You can visit their Reds Opening Day Blog.

Have fun at the ballpark!

Listening to Marty Brennaman

If you haven't checked out Marty's Commemorative CD yet, I would highly recommend it. Produced by Pat Hughes, play-by-play broadcaster for the Cubs, the CD brings back the past of how Marty started as a broadcaster and how he evolved into one of the greatest. I've been listening to Marty & Joe since I was six years old and there are things on the CD I've never known before.

I never realized Marty started his career broadcasting for the Reds in 1974 and within 3 years the team won 2 World Championships! In the CD, he tells how young he was at the time, and how he never realized how lucky he was until the years went by being able to broadcast for the Big Red Machine.

Marty also broadcasted arguably the "Best College Game Ever", when Duke defeated Kentucky in Philadephia. And includes memorable broadcasts clips of Marty such as Henry Aaron #714, Tom Seaver's no-hitter, Tom Browning's perfect game, Pete Rose #4192, and much more!

I've already listened to the CD about 3 times. Pat Hughes did a great job with this CD and I highly recommend it to you Cincinnati Reds fans. If you're looking for the CD, you can purchase it on NorthernKentuckySports.com.

Tubby Leaves UK!

About 12 NOON yesterday I get a call from my Dad, who's down in Lexington for the Sweet 16 tournament. He goes on to tell me that him and his buddies are hearing that Tubby is leaving UK for Michigan. They ran into some of the players down there who were on there way to an urgent meeting. At first, I was skeptical to how true this really was. I searched ESPN and other local news sites to see if this was public yet. Still not.

I told some friends at work, called some friends, etc. Then around 3:30 it's posted on ESPN by Andy Katz. My dad was right about Tubby leaving but not right about leaving for Michigan, he left for Minnesota.

Funny, how the news travels so fast! And suppossedly, Billy Donovan just bought a house in Lexington last month and the Florida program may be investigated for players taking cash payments. Rumors of course, but wonder if these are true as well!?
