What does Bourbon County need to do to improve in 2012? What do they need to keep doing to be successful? Remember, please be constructive.

Bourbon will be a force to be reckon with. They return everyone from last year including top RB Kentayvous Hopkins and a new coaching staff.

I know those coaches very well and will be surprised it they are not very good.

There is a lot of expectation around this team this season. Much of the hype centers around Kentayvus Hopkins however the Colonels have a host of other young guys who are looking to step up and make a name for themselves as well in LB Dakota Mitchell,RB/DB Brett Holman,LB Jake Fooks, and QB Huston Cox who won the MVP of the Murray State QB Camp. The new staff has transformed the young men's bodies as well. The Colonels will welcome back former players Justin Roe who has spent his entire coaching career at Boyle Co. before returning back home, and Joey Wilson. Former Paris star Chase Dumphord is also on the staff over at Bourbon. It's not just the younger guys who've transformer their bodies but Hopkins as well.

Another tidbit, sorry to post consecutively but the Colonels will also have Snoop Johnson on the gridiron this year. He's the brother of former Lafayette RB Bubba Johnson. Snoop will play CB, and from early reports he seems to be doing really well.

Sounds like a very promising season for the Colonels. How have they done in scrimmage play?

Somerset at Bourbon Co, Aug 11 6:00. Both these teams will find out where they are and what they need to work on. Should be a good Scrimmage.

Just spent several days there for our football camp (GREAT hosts, great facilities, great people). From what I was able to see, there's a LOT of energy around the program, the coaches are working their tails off, boosters are committed, the AD really wants to see football succeed, and I even saw their good RB running hills on his own at 6:30am -- not common for a kid that age who's being told how good he is. Got some really good linemen too. One in particular--only a freshman--already appears to be varsity-ready at a young age (name is Cox I think).

 

Am looking forward to seeing how that program takes off.

Somerset at Bourbon Co. Scrimmage time has been moved back to 7:30.

There will be a middle school game prior to the high school game, likely the reasoning for the delay on the HS game.

Where is Bourbon's field located ? Will be coming from Lex. on 68

You'll see it. The school is on the right as you come into town. School is pretty big and obvious. Football field is behind the school - you'll likely see the light fixtures from the road.
