Keaton Belcher 2002-2005 Pendleton County High School (Player) 2006-2009 Belmont University (Player) 2010-2012 Eastern Kentucky University (Graduate Assistant) 2013-2014 Pendleton County High School (Assistant Coach) 2015-2019 Pendleton County High School (Head Coach) 2020-2022 Ryle High School (Head Coach) Belcher was voted the NKY Player Of The Year in 2005 as a senior at Pendleton County after helping the Wildcats win the 10th Region Tournament. He was also named 2nd Team All-State by the Courier-Journal, 3rd Team All-State by the Kentucky Associated Press, and was on the Kentucky All-Star Team in both the Kentucky-Ohio and Kentucky-Indiana All-Star Games. He played college basketball at Belmont University where he helped the Bruins reach the NCAA Tournament in 2006, 2007, and 2008. After graduating from Belmont, Belcher went to Eastern Kentucky University while he was a graduate assistant while earning his masters degree in sports administration. He joined the coaching staff at Pendleton County as an assistant for the 2012-13 school year, and then took over as head coach beginning for the 2014-15 school year following the resignation of Ed Cravens. In 5 seasons as head coach at Pendleton County the Wildcats had a combined record of 83-72. Additionally in 2017 Belcher led the team to its first winning season in 5 seasons and he also coached 2019 Kentucky Mr. Basketball Dontaie Allen through to graduation. Belcher left Pendleton County to accept a position as head coach and athletic director at Ryle High School beginning in the 2019-20 school year. He resigned at Ryle after three seasons as head coach and a combined record of 34-50.

I'm pretty positive this season's schedule is just the same as last years with the locations swapped for the games. I know for sure that those first 6 games are correct. That would make the 2024 schedule: Aug 23 at Ryle Aug 30 vs. Highlands Sep 6 vs. Simon Kenton Sep 13 at Dixie Heights Sep 20 vs. Beechwood Sep 27 at Holmes (District) Oct 4 vs. Grant County (District) Oct 11 - BYE Oct 18 at Harrison County (District) Oct 25 vs. Mason County (District) Nov 1 at Campbell County

Williamstown has started their interview process. I was told they've had 5 interviews. The only name I was given was David Jump, a 2014 alum who has been an assistant coach at Midway University and currently at Carroll County.

Chad Fields informed his players on Wednesday that he's stepping down as head coach.

It looks like the tweets were deleted. The Hinton twins both played last year at East Hamilton High School down near Chattanooga, TN. The team was 6-5 and lost in the opening round of the 5A playoffs in Tennessee last year (the second-largest class). Vanzale is a 3-star WR/CB, Class of 2025. Last year in 10 games played he had 58 receptions for 850 yards and 10 touchdowns. That's about 6 receptions per game and 15 yards per catch. On defense he had 37 silo tackles,5 assisted tackles, 1 interception, and 1 fumble recovery. He currently holds offers from Liberty University, Miami (OH), UT Martin, Wofford College, Memphis, Middle Tennessee, Purdue, Austin Peay, Toledo, Tulane, and Eastern Kentucky. Michael is a RB/LB, Class of 2025. In 10 games played he had 132 carries for 675 yards and 8 touchdowns. That figures to a little over 5 yards per carry. On defense he had 55 solo tackles, 21 assisted tackles, 1 sack and 2 fumble recoveries. I don't believe he's received any college offers yet. Vanzale's Twitter and Hudl accounts still show him as being at East Hamilton, but Michael's show him as a Paducah-Tilghman student.

Oh man, I'd love to see them connect with Cov Cath for a JV game. Aside from their 1 point loss to Highlands and their 7 point win over Ryle, they more or less steamrolled everyone the rest of the season. They didn't even play JV games against three of the four teams in their district - Holmes didn't field a JV team, and Grant County & Harrison County either didn't field JV teams or else declined to play us. They managed to pick up a game against Boone County, but I'd LOVE to see them challenge themselves against Douglass. Might be worth an email or phone call.

Dang, that's a huge bummer about Isaac Mason. I was told Ben McEvoy has dropped football for for his senior year as well. McEvoy was a really solid utility player to have on the team...solid running back, decent receiver, and not a bad defensive back either. And granted, Owen Leen and Evan Pitzer were our top rushers by a big margin, and then Braylon Miller came in third behind them for rushing yards, but McEvoy would have actually been our leading rusher returning for this upcoming season had he stayed on the team. Spring practice starts on Monday. I'm really interested to find out what Coach Eviston comes up with for our offensive backfield.

Game will be played on April 20th at Thomas More University. The girls game tips at 5:00pm and boys game is scheduled to tip at 7:00pm.
