The Most Painful Loss Your Team Ever Took?
JacobCarey5530 replied to ATLCat's topic in KY Football (High School)
For Shelby County, several come to mind.. 2007 6A Regional Finals vs. Boone County.. only lost by 10 and had been looking forward to dethroning Trinity the next week. This was the year Alex Matthews and Jordan Burk broke several records for passing and recieving, respectively. 2009 6A Regional Semis vs Trinity.. this was the last game Shelby Co. played as the only high school in Shelbyville, with a bulk of this team's talented underclassmen bolting to Collins the next season. 2012 5A Regional Semis vs J-Town... had finally recovered and posted its first winning season since 2009, coming within 1 point of upsetting state runner-up Collins (on the road, mind you) and had been seen as a potential state finals threat if they could get past John Hardin and Bowling Green. 2015 State Semis vs South Warren... dream season, defeated Collins for first time in program history (twice, one being a shutout and the other being in the playoffs) only to have State title hopes crushed by the Spartans. Achived #2 State 4A ranking, briefly over Johnson Central, so legitimate title hopes were there. -
John Hardin will be a very.. intriguing team, to say the least. After moving down to 4A and finally bypassing the Bowling Green roadblock, they should be contenders just as they were in 5A. Question is, have they ran into a different roadblock a few miles away in South Warren?

Shelby's freshmen team won the 30th District tourney this year. Spencer and Collins also showed some good flashes with their frosh. Outside the 30th, Walton-Verona has some good underclassmen as well.

Rebuilding year for Collins (losing top two scorers) and Shelby County (losing arguably second-best player in region with Manica graduating as well as Ewing and Hatter). Young studs look to shine in Shelbyville. Spencer County might make it back to regionals this year as well.

Shelby County Rockets - 2015 Grade
JacobCarey5530 replied to Colonels_Wear_Blue's topic in KY Football (High School)
If viewed purely from a high school football standpoint, noting their relatively weak regular season non-district schedule, I'd say a B is fair, considering their monster district and brutal later round playoff opponents they had to face including John Hardin and South Warren. If we take into account the adversity they had to overcome, going from being predicted to finish last in a stacked district to being State Semifinalists, beating Collins for the first time (twice), and offering a beautiful dual threat style of play, I'd say they are very worthy of a B+. -
South Warren Spartans - 2015 Grade
JacobCarey5530 replied to PurplePride92's topic in KY Football (High School)
As a Shelby County fan, I am very bitter against this team, but objectively point out just how difficult it is to go 15-0. Also, while they didn't play the gauntlet schedule that the Highland's and Trinity's of the world love to play against national powerhouses, they did play against some pretty good KY teams. Hopkinsville, Franklin-Simpson, Shelby County and Johnson Central were all top 7-ish in 4A this year, including 2 of the top 3, and South completely dismantled them all. Still, would've loved to see them play Bowling Green this year. Congrats to Coach Smith and the Spartans on their first state title. -
Best Head Coach in KY without a championship
JacobCarey5530 replied to kypride's topic in KY Football (High School)
Coach Shipley at Shelby County has a very similar resume. Took over legendary coach Tom Becherer in 2000 and has had a roller coaster in terms of winning (from as bad as 1-10 to as good as 12-2 state semis) Only has 1 region title, but has been to the regional title game twice, and really helped the team stay focused and rebuild after Collins opened with immediate success. I certainly hope that after next year he won't fit the "No state rings" criteria anymore. -
2017 PG David Sloan (Ballard)

I believe Louisville and Xavier, although I could be mistaken. -
Franklin County is in 4A, with arguably the most tough district in the class with Collins, Shelby, Spencer and North Oldham. I can see the district being an arms race between Shelby, Collins and Spencer. However, to be fair, at this time last year Shelby was picked last and they only ended up winning district and region.. so anything can happen.

Will KHSAA ever allow this?!
JacobCarey5530 replied to GoalineVeteran's topic in KY Football (High School)
If a young man wants to play football but also play a spring sport (I.E. Track or Baseball), he misses out on the spring football season which may hurt his potential playing time and skill development in the fall. The argument has been made before that "voluntary" practices/games aren't truly voluntary for serious athletes, but the argument certainly could also be made that it simply allows non-stars to shine in a less competitive setting. As for 8th Graders playing up, they lose the oppurtunity to practice/play during spring.. unless the KHSAA changes eligibility rules, but I don't see that happening. -

Certainly shouldn't, hurts multi sport athletes and rising freshmen.
