My son just returned from the game and said it was Ryle's passing that was the difference. I'd have like to see the two best backs in NKY faceoff, Kelly vs. Elliott

In Northern Kentucky coaching circles, Bryson Warner has a reputation as gambler. For the Ryle football coach, fourth-and-short is like splitting aces or doubling down on 11.



It’s a no-brainer.

And Friday night, Warner was on a heater.

Fourth-and-inches? Go. Fourth-and-one? Go. Fourth-and-two? Go. Fourth-and-four? Go. Fourth-and-10 even? Go.

All were converted in Ryle’s 27-7 win over visiting Newport Central Catholic on Friday night.

“We just like to keep the football,” Warner said. “That’s important for us. If we get in fourth downs – and we do a lot – we’re liable to go for it. Our guys believe in it. They want it, so we give it to them.”

The Raiders were 5-for-5 on fourth down in the first half. By the time their luck ran out, they were already playing with house money – a three-touchdown lead. They finished 5-for-7 on fourth down. Their first punt came with 1:21 remaining in the game.

“They trust us to get it on fourth down,” said Ryle running back Travis Elliott. “Most of the time we’re going to get it.”

Ryle, ranked second in the Enquirer Northern Kentucky coaches’ poll, jumped out to a 14-0 lead after a 16-yard touchdown pass from Conner Hempel to Luke Boggs and a 16-yard, fourth-down touchdown run from Elliott.

After the fifth-ranked Thoroughbreds cut the lead to 14-7 on an 11-yard Chris Kelly touchdown run, Ryle took control of the momentum and the game.

The Raiders ate up most of the second quarter with a 78-yard, 17-play drive. The possession included three fourth-down conversions and 10 carries for Elliott. The junior capped the drive with a 13-yard touchdown run that gave Ryle a 21-7 halftime lead.

“We just kept executing,” said Warner. “That drive was part of what we’re going to be this year – holding on to the football, sustaining drives, keeping our defense off the field and scoring.”

NewCath wasn’t as fortunate offensively. The Thoroughbreds got inside the red zone just twice and turned the ball over five times.

“You can’t do that against good teams; you can’t even do that against mediocre teams,” said first-year NewCath coach Eddie Eviston, who took the first loss of his head coaching career. “… Physically, I thought we matched up pretty well. We have kids who will fight. They showed that, even though it doesn’t look too great on the scoreboard.”

Ryle managed just one second-half score. It came on a 1-yard Elliott touchdown run midway through the third quarter.

Ryle outgained the Thoroughbreds 365 yards to 207. Elliott led the Raiders with 29 carries for 146 yards and three touchdowns. Hempel was nine-of-19 passing for 116 yards and a score.

NewCath’s offensive output was its lowest since last year’s 45-0 loss to Ryle. Heading into Friday’s game, the Thoroughbreds were averaging 41 points per game.

The game was Ryle’s first live action since a loss to top-ranked Highlands in the second week of the season. Warner said the bye week came at a good time for his team.

“The Highlands game was really tough and it was physical,” he said. “When you play a game like that, you need some time to recover. And we have. We needed that time. We’re still getting back to where we were before that game.”

Ryle is back in action next week, at home, against Dixie Heights. NewCath travels to Campbell County.
Congrats to Ryle

He can coach like that agianst udersized teams he is suppose to beat, but it is questionable coaching like that, that keeps his team from beating the big boys. I have watched 3 Ryle games in person in the last 2 years, and his coaching has hurt the team in every game.
