Grant Brannen is the new coach at Walton

Featured Replies

I was not saying he is was a cheater at NCC. But look, any kid from ANYWHERE can go to a private school, so you do the math.

 

But maybe WVHS should be concerned, if Brannen left a thriving program for more money, then in the future will he leave a not so successful program for more money too?

 

I say he doesn't last very long !

 

You're really underestimating the factor of NCC's salary. He as of last year had his second child so he definitely needs the money and needs to look after his financial future. He was a great coach and a great teacher. Good luck to him in his future endeavors.

Some would say Walton is very much like a private school.

 

That's a cute comment, but the fact is it is a public school and if you live in the district you can attend, for free.

Name one kid on that team that came from "anywhere" and not from Catholic schools in Campbell County.

 

If he gives WV what he gave NewCath, and leaves in 5 years, then WV should be very happy w/ this hire.

Oops that is two.

I think Those kids choose NCC. NCC did not recruit them.

Give me the roster and their home addresses and we'll go from there. Because it sounds like you do know it all.

Trade in that old Ameritech Flip phone.

 

My man is a little antiquated in his technology.

 

Nah, he's got that nextel "get things done" walkie/talkie phone.

 

Nothing like one of those construction looking dudes with a nextel starts having a conversation in a restaurant. Really dude!?

 

Besides fielding questions and responding to text messages from you guys, as well as, a cast of 10 to 15 others my battery went in the tank quickly. Need to start carrying a spare one.

These two should not even be listed. Just because they chose to attend Ft Thomas Public schools in middle school.

 

Ben Weyer - St Thomas parishoner

Colin Dupont - St Catherine of Siena parishoner

 

Both families strong catholic ties.

Other than Weyer and Dupont who live in Ft. Thomas probably within 3 miles of the school the rest are all Campbell co Catholic school kids. I believe St. Thomas for Schulte, Bueter, Seibert, and St. Joes for McDonald, and I think Pangallo. Past players Geisler was a St. Thomas, Hightchew a St. Therese.

According to the text I just got, they will be wearing Blue and Gold next year.

Maybe that's just wishful thinking on your part.

Isn't it true also that any kid from anywhere can go to any public school if he/she is willing to pay the out of district tuition. Same situation in my mind.

So it sounds like Brannen is not such a good recruiter.

No, not always. It's a matter of available space. If there is available space for a student, they MAY be admitted. That is up to the discretion of the administration/board.

Jake Schulte - St. Joe's

Zach Pangallo - St. Therese

90% true. Not 100% but your overall point is correct.

I think the important point to make here is as far as the KHSAA is concerned the rules are the same for every school. In other words, to answer your question, yes according to the KHSAA. However, individual school districts choose (totally a choice) to impose restrictions which keeps some kids from attending their specific school.

Correction, Colin DuPont may have attended HMS, however he is a member of St. Catherine Parish, which is a district parish to NCC.
