I haven't heard anything this morning. WSAZ news reported that the shooting occurred following a domestic dispute with family members and that David drove himself to the hospital. I pray he will be OK.

One report from WYMT said he was shot at his home after an argument got out of hand.

Yes, the Tigers were the fastest high school team all around that I had ever seen. I drove to Hopkinsville to watch that game and they just killed Leslie County. I was shocked they didn't win the 3A title that year. I didn't think another 3A team in KY would get the best of them, kind of like the Danville team that lost to Prestonsburg in 93.

I think it was the regular season game, but not for certain. I'm old.

Here is a 3 minute video about Couch's senior season and there is some footage of that game and of Belfry's coaches paying him the respect. I think they were just happy he was graduating, LOL.

Two great games. Belfry jumped out to a 20-0 lead on Leslie County in that game. Couch broke that national record and the game was stopped to acknowledge it. Belfry's entire staff walked across the field to shake his hand and congratulate him, which really was a show of good sportsmanship. The Eagles came back and defeated the Pirates eventually. That was an electric atmosphere. ESPN was there, the crowd was huge and rowdy. Great high...

Kudos for not being afraid to go against convention and do what you think is best for your team. There is no one size fits all approach, IMO. Belfry hasn't started practice yet, they will begin this coming week. Parent meeting Monday, practice starts Tuesday if I am not mistaken. Of course they always have two scrimmages and play their first game in week 1 instead of week 0.

Lots of thought provoking responses in this thread. Thanks and keep them coming.

Not surprisingly, I couldn't disagree with you more, but I really appreciate your honest reply.

I would like to hear your thoughts.

I think my favorite quote from the blog is this... "The list could go on and on, but it always ends with the same formula: You before me. And we before I." If it all really boils down to that formula, then is the root of the problem (which can take many forms) really just selfishness?

I didn't realize they had never won a playoff game. They had a pretty good team or two that I can remember, but they were in a 6 or 7 team district back then that included Pikeville and Paintsville and they never got very favorable playoff seeding. The Hornets are definitely the team I'd like to see get a playoff W. Would be a huge boost for them, and they are riding a pretty good wave of excitement already.

Is this a 4 team district now?

Taylor's Pool Hall on First St in Richmond, late 80's In the back of the pool hall was a door to a small room about the size of a phone booth. In the floor of that room was a drain that looked like this...

That rating changes daily as teams trend up or down and it looks a lot different today than it did a few days ago. I find it really interesting, though, and enjoy looking at the criteria for moving teams up/down.

I wondered the same thing and I would imagine there are other similar awards.

Big time recognition for a true ambassador for Kentucky High School Football. Congratulations to one of the finest men I have ever known.
