Great win for the Cameltoes.

I was even laughing at the picture of their offensive line in the paper. I was thinking, "these poor guys, they don't have a clue". Guess they're better than I thought.

Incredible win for Coach Lickert and the Camels. To start the season 0-5, this team just may be the surprise of 6A football across the state. That's not to mean that this District could compete with any of the powers of 6A, but who would have thunk it! Camels are the District champions!
The Camels were down 13-0 at the half. Ryle took the opening kick off and drove down the field effortlessly. The defense of the Camels stepped up n Ryles next possesion and forced a punt, but the Camels muffed the punt giving the Raiders the ball on the 18 and letting captilized with a TD to take the 13-0 lead. In the first half, the Camels had two fumles an INT as well as getting the ball to the 8 yard line only to turn it over on downs. In the 2nd half, the Camels controlled the rest of the game.
Tyler Durham had another great game at QB. Tyler Walsh was the defensive player of the game, but hats off to Mitch Miller and Tom Harmon as well.
Lickert took the boys to the stands for his postgame for all of the parents and fans. That was a very classy move!
Finally, Midee1, Sorry for the text, they were meant to go to someone else and it was your number that popped up after I had already hit send ;-)

Those players mentioned above did have great games, but the true turnaround of this football team is on the line.
The Camels dominated the line for most of this game. The offensive line dictated the game for the Camels, even in the first half. The Camels just didn't execute, but they had their chances early in the first half because of the Line. Pat McCord is my offensive player of the game. This young man has tremendous size, but early in the yeat he did not use it porperly. Tonight, he can in due to an injury and he just pummeled the D-Linemen giving huge holes on the right side of the field for both Durham to run the ball and short screens to Avery Woods. The line dominated the 2nd half of the game by doing what Ryle usually does and that is wear the the defense!
One defense, the Camels D-Line put constant pressure on Ryles QB. The did an excellent job of getting underneath of the Ryle O-Line and holding them upright. This allowed the LB's to get into the gaps. The Defensive star of the game was Jeff Skinner. He had an important INT in the firt half that halted what could have been the game ending drive. It would have put Ryle up 20-0 and that may have been too much for the Camels. In the 2nd half, he made two key tackles that forced 4th downs. And they had a QB sack on a 2nd and 4 that pushed Ryle back to a 3rd and 20.
It would also be a mistake to think that Ryle let up and tanked. They played really good football. I believe they were a top 5 team in the state. This team is without one of the best players in the state Travis Elliott, but they have weapons. Their line is big and can move well. They are a very good football team. This team was in shock when the Camels took the lead with 3:00 to go. But their little QB drove them straight down the field until the Camels were able to shut the door on them. The Raiders will still be a tough team to beat in the playoffs. They may not be as good as Covington Catholic, but I believe they are the 2nd best team that the Camels have played, and that is taking nothing away from NCC.
Just like the Camels could have quit after being down 0-5 at the beginning of the season, the Camels could have quit this game after such poor execution in the 1st half. I watched this kids as they came out of the locker room at the half, and you just had the feeling that they could find a way. As for the chainmen who thought this game was over, well, I guess you wish that you wouldn't been doing all that bragging now.
Camels have a very tough game next week with Boone Co. It's nice to win the District, but now the next step is to get this season back to .500. Beating Boone and going 4-0 in District sure would be nice.

[Image: http://cmsimg.cincinnati.com/apps/pbcsi....ry=SPT0302]The way Campbell County’s football game with Ryle unfolded on Friday was basically a microcosm of its season: a floundering first half, followed by a flawless second half.
The Camels, who started the season 0-5, rallied from a 13-0 halftime deficit that was due in part to them committing four turnovers, by scoring on their first four possessions of the second half for a 27-20 victory at Clifford Borland Stadium in Union to win their third straight Class 6A district game and clinch first place
With the Ryle defense focusing on junior quarterback Tyler Durham, who rushed 45 times in the game for 260 yards, including 31 carries for 197 yards in the second half alone, senior running back James Popp scored on a 16-yard touchdown run with 3:04 remaining to break a 20-20 tie.
Ryle (5-3 overall, 2-1 in the district) drove to the Campbell County 19 in the final few seconds, but after junior quarterback Nathan Davis was stopped in bounds for zero yards on 3rd-and-6 and with the Raiders out of timeouts, he then spiked the ball on what turned out to be fourth down with 3.2 seconds remaining.
Campbell County coach Stephen Lickert said he made sure his players kept believing in themselves after their turnover-filled first half, just as he had them believing they could turn things around after the 0-5 start.
“We told our kids at halftime we just played the worst half of football we could possibly play and we’re only down 13 points,” said Lickert, who is in his first season at Campbell County after successful head coaching stints at Dayton and Holmes. “Our kids just fight, fight, fight. We believe in them and they believe in their abilities. The team that was 0-5 is just gone. We’re a new football team.”
Popp admitted it was tough coming to practice after so many winless weeks, but that the players kept the faith in the coaches that things would turn around.
“It really is unbelievable to come from 0-5,” said Popp. “There are times you’re at practice and working hard and wondering is this the way it’s going to be all season. To come out here and do this and clinch the district - it’s unbelievable.”
Campbell County (3-5, 3-0) drove into Ryle territory on two of its five first-half drives and started in Ryle territory on two others only to turn it over three times – at the Ryle 24, Ryle 42 and Ryle 6 – and turn it over on downs another time – at the Ryle 19.
It was the sixth time in six games against teams from Kentucky that Ryle didn’t allow a first-half offensive touchdown and the Raiders entered the game having allowed just 10.0 points in their first five games against Kentucky teams.
Ryle took its 13-0 lead thanks to marching 64 yards in 10 plays to start the game, with Davis scoring from two yards out, and taking advantage of a fumbled punt return by Campbell County late in the first quarter that gave the Raiders the ball at the Camels 15. Three plays later Davis raced in from 12 yards out for his 10th rushing touchdown in the last four games. Davis finished with 63 yards rushing on 19 carries and was 14 of 28 passing for 152 yards with two interceptions.
“We felt like in the first half we moved the football well we just turned it over,” said Lickert. “We told the O line at halftime, ‘We’re going to win it because of you.’"
Lickert turned it over to that offensive line and kept calling Durham’s number time and time again. Durham carried 13 times for 59 yards on a 17-play, 80-yard drive that used the first 8:18 of the third quarter and bulled into the end zone from a yard out to pull Campbell County within 13-7.
“We make people stop what we do,” said Lickert. “If they’re not going to stop us then we’re not going to throw the ball just to change it up.”
Durham carried all four times on Campbell County’s next possession for 57 yards, including the final 36 yards for the touchdown that tied it at 13-13 when the extra point try hit the left upright.
Ryle, which will play Dixie Heights this Friday for second place and the right to host a first-round playoff game, retook the lead on its next drive with sophomore backup quarterback Ryan Hill racing in for the score from seven yards out just 40 seconds into the fourth quarter.
Durham touched the ball on all 11 plays of an 80-yard drive that tied the score, including a 36-yard pass to sophomore Jake Zabonick and a one-yard TD run that tied it at 20-20 with 5:47 left.
After Campbell County forced a three-and-out and a Ryle punt, Durham carried five straight times for 47 yards to take the ball to the Ryle 16, where Popp carried it into the end zone.
“They were taking away our outside, so we said let’s keep them honest and pop a trap on them and Popp popped through,” said Lickert.
Durham’s performance comes one week after he rushed for 239 yards on 39 carries in a 50-14 win over Dixie.
“Our defense kept us in the game and we thought we’d be fine in the second half,” Durham said. “We just knew at halftime we had to keep believing and pushing each other and the coaching staff did a heckuva job making us believe.”
