It is the offseason and Summer Drills are literally around the corner. This time of year, we are busy trying to forecast which teams will be in what races and which players may impact the season long, “Mr. Football” race. We love the country band “Diamond Rio” so much we couldn’t help but nickname Rio Litmer “Diamond Rio.” This guy may be slight of frame, but he has a ton of game. Litmer led Highlands to the 5A semis, which would gain you some leverage everywhere but where he is playing. The Bluebirds are hunting title number 24. Will it come this season? Will Litmer take home “Mr. Football?” We shall see! Enjoy the article.

Dale Mueller is an interesting guy. Not all high school football coaches and teachers are mechanical engineering students from the ivy-league. Of course, not all high school football coaches win 12.5 games a season over 20-years, win titles in 55% of the time they coach at a particular school, or play for titles 70% of the time. There is nothing average or normal about Dale Mueller, which is why he is among the greatest high school coaches this commonwealth has ever known. Enjoy this feature, especially you northern Kentuckians who complain we never cover you.

Friday Night Fletch.

We have been breaking down some “up and comers” around the magazine and even feeding a few. It’s the offseason, this is the time to do that very thing. Well, not hard to forecast this prospect will explode onto the scene and we are wagering it will be this coming Fall. Enjoy this look at a “Breakout Player” we decided it was time to feed with the country’s very finest in beef jerky products. Congratulations to Tyus Mccarter. HB.

They were 6-6 last year, losing to South Oldham in the Class 5A playoffs, in round two, 35-34. They haven’t won a State Football Championship since 2014. The football team known throughout the Country as simply, Highlands, just isn’t the Ft. Thomas Highland High School football program we have traditionally come […]

Fort Thomas Bluebirds…singing a song…

Willie Nelson, a.k.a. The Red Headed Stranger, once penned a song entitled Blue Skies in which he wrote…Blue birds singin’ a song/Nothin’ but blue skies from now on…I have no idea the motivation of Shotgun Willie in writing and then cutting a huge hit with those lyrics. There are two things I do know; […]
