Hiring Coach Kelsch is the right as well as the smart thing to do. It will come back and haunt them if they don't!!!

Nice job by Coach Story and the Lady Pats!!

Augusta's by far is the best!! I know at one time they had the heaviest men's coaching staffs in the 10th region!! You can't buy that kind of endorsement. There is also a rumor going around that the coach of Jayhawk football team is none other than Mangino Kelsch, long lost brother of Robin Kelsch. :lol:

Glad Thompson came up big. Good kid who works very hard.

Augusta is playing the best ball out of the three, but I see them going 2-1 in the tourney. Coach Kelsch and the boys deserve some credit for how they have turned their season around.

I've watched games at all three places and never seen or heard such behavior. My guess is they are yelling at you and not the ball players!!:lol:

Augusta's student section is in the balcony not on the floor.

It seems they have offered everyone but Coach Kelsch the job. I know what my response would be if they came calling now to Coach Kelsch. He deserves better than the way this has been handled.

Your Welcome!!!

The thing you don't realize is Coach Ormes was not interested in coaching anywhere else. He loved the kids and what the school stood for. He would have retired just like Coach Turner did. You need to get a clue. This did involve some parents wanting Coach Douglas to be head coach. If you think otherwise then you are clueless.

If you were to talk to Coach Sullivan he would tell you the real reason why he left. He was tired of dealing with the administration that was there. Coach Sullivan loved the oppurtunity that was given to him while being at St. Pat. He has nothing to do with this situation so leave him out of it.

Augusta just hired a new girls coach and Robin Kelsch is not going anywhere.

There are many great students and teachers that make St. Pat a great Catholic School. This is why it is surprising how they treated Coach Ormes. Secret meetings involving disgruntled players and unhappy parents, which by the way came from middle school players Coach Ormes has not even had yet as a player. Lex Turner is a legend in the 10th region and a great coach. He is left out completely in the equation and doesn't get a chance to provide input. What's that all about? I would expect better from a Christian school. Principal Kirry does seem like a great principal and will take some heat for this and I think that is unfair. The real person who made the decision had a chance in the paper the other day to take responsibility for what happened. What did he do? He threw his principal under the bus. Then he acted like he wasn't sure what happened or who was responsible. A great man once said " Ma'am you can go to hell for lying." Bringing up some public school leaders from other schools was a good point. But I think you have it backwards. We expect things like this to happen at public schools. We expect better from schools that are founded on any Christian beliefs.

Well said!!

I believe if you check each class rosters you'll find your answer. Not to mention his visits to Augusta and trips across the river getting players, not students to come there. The fact that there are kids playing sports and are not even living in Kentucky, should be a KHSAA violation.
