The 2011 season was one full of surprises in Northern Kentucky’s Class 6A football. Campbell County started year 0-5, but got hot at the right time and claimed the school’s first district title in 31 years. Boone County made some serious noise in the postseason, but struggled for consistency. The injury bug bit Ryle and created some serious holes the Raiders were unable to overcome. Dixie Heights and Simon Kenton turned in disappointing campaigns.

District 6 always provides some of the state’s greatest competition and this year will be no different. While every team possesses some reasons for optimism, none of the schools enter the 2012 campaign without serious question marks. It should make for some thrilling Friday nights in the year ahead.

RYLE RAIDERS
Class 6A, District 6
Head Coach: Bryson Warner (68-39 @ Ryle, nine years, 68-39 overall)
2011 Record: 7-5, 3-1

Overview: After watching star running back Travis Elliott go down to a season-ending knee injury in a Week 3 loss at Colerain, head coach Bryson Warner and his staff had to adjust quickly in 2011. However, as the injuries continue to mount the Raiders were spread thin and eventually faded. Last year’s lumps should pay big dividends in 2012.

The Raiders will lean heavily on dual-threat quarterback Nathan Davis, who rushed for 1,112 yards and 14 touchdowns and threw for 926 yards and six more scores as a junior. The offensive line enters 2012 with some question marks, but will benefit from the experienced play of Lex Sowards and Mitch Howles. Ryan Hill made a splash as a sophomore by rushing for 406 yards and six touchdowns and should only get better as a junior. Nick Salmen is the most experienced player back at receiver and he only caught four balls a year ago.

Defensively Ryle’s strength comes in the secondary with Hill joined by Daniel Osborne and Nick Kennedy. There are major questions at the linebacker position which should lead to some interesting preseason battles for the Raiders. The unit will need for some playmakers to emerge quickly with so many good-running football teams on the schedule. Howes will be joined on the defensive line by a cast of characters, including Daniel Loschiavo.

Senior Garrett Mead is one of the Tri-state’s most experienced kickers. He has 60 points during his varsity career having knocked down 3-of-6 field goals and 51-of-57 extra points.

STILL NEED SOME VOLUNTEERS!!! FREE VIDEO SHIRT

For the upcoming broadcast season we are going to need some help for the home football games.  We will have three camera's that we are using (1 on the field and 2 on the pressbox).  Volunteers will be needed for each camera as well as set up and tear down.  We will be doing a pre-game show and a post game interview.  Typically it takes a couple of hours to set up and about an hour to tear everything down.  We will have shirts for our cameramen (or women) and on occasion we will feed you.  Everything is done on a volunteer basis and volunteers are needed to keep it going.  We would like to have the same people man the same camera's for each game.  If you are interested please email me at rylewebmaster@ryleraiderfootball.org .  On July 29th @ 6:30 at Ryle.  We will be meeting at the school to go through a "dry run" to set up the cameras etc.  We are also going to be broadcasting the Midnight Madness practice with "n the field" interviews and "introducing the new helmet camera".  All of this needs volunteers and your support.

By The Numbers: Nathan Davis
By Greg Shoemaker | Featured Analyst
Ryle quarterback Nathan Davis has been producing at the varsity level ever since his freshman year. He spent his first two years at Grant County before becoming the Raiders signal caller for his junior campaign.

He provided a great spark to Ryle after the season-ending injury to Travis Elliott and will enter 2012 as one of Northern Kentucky’s most prolific playmakers.

The versatile field general heads into his senior season as the only quarterback that TSF covers with over 2,000 yards passing and 2,000 yards rushing at the varsity level.

Here’s a deeper look at Davis’ numbers:

1 – Receiving touchdown in his career
4 – Career high rushing touchdowns in a game (vs. Boone County – 9/30/11)
8 – Passing touchdowns in his career
14 – Rushing touchdowns as a junior
17 – Receptions in his career
24 – Rushing touchdowns in his career
179 – Career high rushing yards in a game (vs. Conner – 10/7/11)
314 – Yards receiving in his career
926 – Yards passing as a junior
1,112 – Yards rushing as a junior
2,025 – Yards rushing in his career
2,339 – All-purpose yards in his career
2,348 – Yards passing in his career

Clegg, a native of Westerville, Ohio, blocked for a unit that led all Football Championship Subdivision schools in first downs (25.2), while ranking second in total offense (478.9) and passing yards (358.2) per game.

Duzan, a product of Dublin, Ohio, led all kickers in the conference with 85 points in 2011.  He knocked down 12-of-17 field-goal attempts and 49-of-51 extra-point tries.

Geohagen, who hails from Far Rockaway, N.Y., tallied 44 tackles a season ago.  He also led the Eagles with 14 passes defended, 10 pass break-ups and four interceptions.

Senvisky, a native of Union, Ky., recorded 21 tackles and picked off three passes last year.

Matteson, a product of Saline, Mich., joined Clegg on the offensive line to help Morehead State establish eight team school records and nine individual institution standards.

Brooks, a native of Bardstown, Ky., paced the Eagles with 17 punt returns for 116 yards.

Morehead State begins regular-season action on Thursday, Aug. 30, when Southern Virginia visits Jayne Stadium at 7 p.m. ET.  It will be the first of six home games for the Eagles in 2012.
