I would guess when they got rid of the Best AD in the State, that Teegarden said I'm out of here!:isurrender::wave:

 

Love him or hate him, Mel did one hell of a job promoting Brossart student-athletes, and he should be commended for his efforts. :thumb:

In general...whats going on at Brossart. Been a rough couple weeks

Long time AD..gone (fired?)

Principal....gone (fired?)

Football coach...gone (resigned)

 

Stewart is gone?

IMO, Dick was an outsider who did not have the personality needed to endear himself to the families of Brossart. It wasn't a good fit from the beginning, again, IMO.

 

Dan Ridder is going to be a breathe of fresh air in his new role as principal.

Respect the heck out of Ridder. Really good person.

If I were an administrator at a Catholic school doing a renovation/expansion, I would just go ahead and start looking for another job.

I think it would be best served to take the year off in football and then decide to go forward with a program or to let it go. To play 6 games this year with a new coaching staff and maybe 20 kids might not be a good idea. The cost factor has to be considered. No Home field, no district games against 2A teams, no interest would seem to be reasons to re-group and make an intelligent decision.

Totally agree as I said before all they really did was give him a life boat on the Titanic.

Stewart is the third strike. Latin, NCC, and now Brossart.

 

Ironically, Dick had commented on that very thing during the renovation project.

I just returned home from a three week fishing trip in Canada with bad phone service and hit, and more often, miss wireless.

 

I should get a better grip on things now that I am back in "the world."

 

Logan Schoulthies and Craig Pfefferman are extremely dedicated junior football players. I will feel especially bad for them and Jake Martin, Frankie Cetrulo and others if we stand down on football this season.

 

Dan Ridder the new principal is a football guy and I'm sure will make an informed decision as to the future of the program. IF we do not play this year, I would still like to see us ramp up the program for next year when we will be back in Class 1-A with Bracken County, Nicholas County, Paris and Berea. There is potential there for us to be competitive in this district and maybe carve out a niche for ourselves in Class A football. I'm hearing that there are 24 potential footballers in grades 10-12, BUT many don't want to play the 2-A schedule where they would have to play both ways for 48 minutes, and jeopardize their future in their primary sport/sports. Understandable!

 

We have property on Gilbert Ridge Road primarily dedicated to the development of a football complex, albeit something like Pendleton County has at Sharp Middle School. Unfortunately the sod wasn't ready to be played on last year, and the team had to endure deplorable conditions at St. Mary. Again, a Catch 22 - an already financially strapped administration didn't want to sink money into football fearing it would not survive, and one of the factors that may cause it not to survive was failing to develop the Gilbert Ridge property.

 

I think Dan Ridder and AD Adam Franzen will make the right call. If it comes to pass that we do not play this fall it will be because we do not have enough players. I personally will really miss it. I truly enjoyed broadcasting those football games, regardless of how futile some were. I admired our kids for their determination week after week.

 

Seeing how 9 of our 18 players on last year's team were graduating seniors, rather than simply scheduling games for this season without looking into the possibility of not having enough players to field a team back in November, waiting until the eleventh hour and realizing that this might become reality in June is what is giving us a black eye.

Now, now, Mrs. Webster!

When you have a shortfall of around 350k dollars going into the next school year, heads will roll.

 

The word last week was that their forecast of enrollment numbers for next year was really low.

 

Any chance they get booted from the NKAC?

The time is very, very close imo.

 

I predict that Campbell Cty Catholic is going to be a heck of a school and afford a better opportunity for the these kids in the long run. :thumb:

It is time for the Diocese to start thinking outside of the box especially with the limited resources. JMO

 

Now, in about 10-15 more yrs NKY Catholic will absolutely dominate the state of KY at every level and every sport...Just sayin

Interesting hypothesis. You believe that the archdiocese will ever force consolidation? I can't see it happening without a firm push from the top. Someone mentioned 'deep roots' earlier and I believe those roots to be very strong.
